Stacey Grove,
There are books which are useful. But I can assure you the books being learned by law students are nonsense. In many, many ways. Not least because the legal system in operation in our courts is NOT the Common Law. And because, since 1066, the English legal system has been changed almost beyond recognition. Thirdly, because the Common Law is simply ignored by politicians (whose knowledge of the law is almost laughable). And fourthly, because politicians do not make laws. They make Acts of Parliament which are all (without exception) subject to the Law. To the Rule of Law. This basic fact is ignored widely in England. So that people hardly know what the law is. And the legal industry conspire to keep it that way. With their oath-swearing, profit-making, corporate Law Society.
I have learned what I know of the Law by reading the history of the law, the history of this land, by consulting others who know the law (and what it is not) and by witnessing in my own life the cost of being ignorant of the deceivers who work in its name.
The Common Law is that law which was brutally ignored by Parliament and its unelected head when they (the Parliament) signed up to union with a foreign power, contrary to the Common Law, contrary to democracy, and contrary to the Rights of the people of this land. Since which time our courts have become corporate, revenue collecting, private, profit-making businesses, falsely claiming to be hearing cases under the Law of this land, but, in fact, as corrupt and evil as governments, political parties and feudalism itself.
The legal industry is a bunch of corruption.
I understand.
You disagree with learning from textbooks.
Tell me, where did you obtain your education in law?
