 First off I’m so proud of you you’re doing great work here!!!

I read through all of it and it makes so much sense (but I’m looking into the same as you a Federal Court 1983 complaint and I’m slow but I’m familiar enough now to follow your thorough words! I strive to be at least as good)

Here’s what I see in Federal court is that the Conference has a “pre-meeting” of plaintiff and defendant (by phone or otherwise) and depending on the judge or often magistrate judge requires the Conference paper to be returned before the Conference meeting with the (magistrate) judge.

Different judges have different rules so check the individual rules for Judge Fais.

Did you and those attorneys fill out the Conference paper and send that to the judge yet?
Maybe just maybe the telephone meeting was the pre-meeting both parties are supposed to have before the actual Conference in court?? Which if that’s the case, the actual Conference Meeting in front of the judge did not happen yet.
Please find out for your judge and call the pro se office to clarify because you’re definitely “on to them” and using what Dr. Graves teaches us well. Hope this helps!

In Federal Court some things are done as “Letter to the Judge” but are filed electronically under “Motion” not “Letter”

I say this because I went to the Federal Court Pro Se office who explained (and printed in detail) how to do this pro se and even though it’s called a “Letter to the Judge” you still file it under “Motion” not “Letter”

(that causes me now to think, what would qualify as a Letter in there but that’s not relevant right now)

Yes definitely correct the record!

Dr. Graves, if we as Pro Se, come to this in Good Faith, but attorneys like those painted are on the other side, what are things she’s (we are) going to have to look out for that attorneys are going to “trick” her into next?

You know, those examples and many stories you have of the tricks and bullshit that attorneys do which we Pro Se aren’t familiar with?

You have the many years of watching them perform and we don’t. We need all we can to be prepared not to fall into obvious and less obvious attorney traps.

If she agrees to a settlement conference without any discovery, thinking she can object after the fact, I don't see that happening. She clearly didn't agree, but wants to attend a conference and if it doesn't work out to her satisfaction, she's waived that right. Am I wrong?

Check the Docket.
Look for any written Order regarding the Settlement Hearing.02:56 AM

ONLY if you c.c. opposing and the c.c. clearly appears below your signature AND you actually do c.c. your opponent in such way that you are CERTAIN he/she gets it before the judge. Works ok in Florida. You might do a bit of local look-up to make sure.

If you recorded audio of an opponent without permission, in a state barring the collection of audio without the other party's knowledge and consent, that evidence most likely will not be admissible in court.

Your confusing exhibit with evidence. Not the same thing08:04 AM

I call this a "laundry list of evidence" because under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, these documents constitute discoverable evidence that is directly relevant to the claims and defenses in the pleadings.

I recognize that under the Rules of Evidence, these items are currently unauthenticated public records and documents. They do not automatically become admissible trial evidence just because I possess them. However, they are far more than an "opinion." They are the exact, tangible items that will populate my Rule 26(a) Mandatory Disclosures and my formal Production of Documents during the discovery phase.

Because these items are public records obtained directly from government agencies via OPRA, they carry a high probability of successful authentication under FRE 902 (Self-Authentication) or through a standard Request for Admission. Therefore, while they are technically "potential evidence" or "discoverable material" right now, calling them my evidence denotes that my complaint is grounded in fact, not mere speculation.

I also call it evidence because these documents are the specific, physical items that prove the factual allegations in my complaint.

I understand your point: a document is not legally recognized as "admissible evidence" by a judge until it is authenticated and moved into the record at the proper procedural stage. Right now, these are technically discoverable materials.

However, because these are certified public records, police body-cam footage, and internal town rosters obtained through official OPRA requests, they are the exact foundational pieces that will be introduced during discovery and ultimately moved into evidence at trial. They aren't my "opinion" of what happened, they are the state's own official records of what happened.

I'm actually not confusing them at all. I completely understand the distinction: an exhibit is a document or item labeled for identification (like "Plaintiff's Exhibit A"), while admitted evidence is an exhibit that has been officially accepted by the judge under the Rules of Evidence.

The items I gathered through OPRA are currently discoverable materials. For the settlement hearing, they will be used as Exhibits to show my position. At trial, those same exhibits will undergo formal authentication to become Admitted Evidence.

Pointing out my laundry list just shows the trajectory of how my raw data will eventually become part of the trial record.

Certified copies of government documents are admissible on their face per the rules.

What’s the best way to search for something specific in the course?

I feel like the longer I study Jurisdictionary to more “lost” I get inside the course itself.

Also is there something in the course of how to set up some filing system (digitally as well as paper) so to best be prepared for the long run (appeal!),

If you recorded audio of an opponent without permission, in a state barring the collection of audio without the other party's knowledge and consent, that evidence most likely will not be admissible in court.

New Jersey is a one-party consent state. Under N.J. Rev. Stat. § 2A:156A-3, it is legal to record an in-person or electronic conversation as long as you are a participant in the conversation, or if one of the other parties has given you permission. [1, 2, 3, 4]

However, being a one-party consent state drastically changes the legal landscape for evidence and privacy, which requires a careful approach: [1]

What This Changes

• Legal Protections: You can legally record your own conversations (like phone calls or business meetings) with someone else without having to notify them. This is extremely common for gathering evidence of harassment, domestic abuse, or verbal agreements. [1, 2, 3, 4]
• Third-Party Recording is a Crime: You cannot record a conversation that you are not a part of unless you have the explicit permission of at least one of the people speaking. Eavesdropping or secretly bugging a room you aren't in is a crime . [1, 2]
• Criminal/Tortious Intent: The recording becomes illegal if it is done to commit a crime, a tort, or any other "injurious act" (even if you are a participant). [1, 2]
• Cross-Border Calls: If you are calling someone in a state that requires two-party (or all-party) consent (such as California, Florida, or Pennsylvania), you must follow the stricter laws of that state, or risk legal penalties. [1, 2]
• Admissibility in Court: While the recording itself might be legally obtained in NJ, it is not automatically admissible in a courtroom . The recording must still be relevant to the case and bypass typical legal hurdles like the hearsay rule . [1]

When to Proceed with Caution

• Expectation of Privacy: Even if you are part of the conversation, recording someone in highly private spaces—such as a locker room, bathroom, or a strictly confidential consultation—can lead to civil lawsuits for "intrusion" or "public disclosure of private facts" . [1]
• Corporate Scrutiny: Courts and business regulators in New Jersey are increasingly aggressive regarding the misuse of recordings (such as in commercial disputes or partnership breakups) . [1]

Further Exploration: Additional context on New Jersey recording laws

• Review the legal guide from the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press for electronic and journalistic exceptions.
• Read the legal breakdown of admissibility by Mondaq.
• Read up on pending legislative debates regarding potential state shifts toward all-party consent. [1],

You do know the federal law says a debt collector has to prove they own the debt? Fla FCCPA prohibits any person from claim and assertions of a legal status that does not exist. FDCPA is the federal part, Bryan Parker is an atty on YouTube teaching the collectors never have title to any debt, their burden of proof

Was the contract unilateral or bilateral?

What do you think? Its a contract with a credit card company. Would that be unilateral or not? As soon as the debtor uses it, they have now agreed to and committed to the terms. So it may have started out possibly as unilateral, although just because there are no “wet ink signatures” does NOT make it unilateral.

So you go look up what that means and how it would apply in court.

Do you have actionable items that can get something dismissed based on what type of contract it is?

One must always understand the Rules of the jurisdiction you're in.

Force others to abide by them (including judges),and know them better than your opponent!

Study the section on Evidence, within the course.

Back to my questions as that wasn’t answered yet

Jurisdictionary General Questions:

Keep studying.
Re-reading sections and take the quizs (score high).
It helps to remember what your looking for.
Utilize a notebook,take notes.
Stickies/labels/folders and a filing cabinet.
(I'm old school).

The key to not getting lost is to follow the classes in the MAIN MENU in order and not to skip ahead. Otherwise lost you may be.

Yeah that’s why I said before that I would have preferred this course in a book or print-form so i can study the way Im used to.

I got my hand on several books that I use now including a $200 one from the BAR and with this I notice even more what for me is lacking in Jurisdictionary. Based on finding clarity there I started searching in Jurisdictionary and didn’t succeed. (yet)

Yes I go in order, I started over actually several times…

Part of this is the paradigms shift and being in the part of chaos-before-clarity.. I’ll get out on the other side eventually though.

Yesterday a court employee (attorney in the court’s help center) told me I can’t file a certain motion until after judgment and I said I can, then this attorney was so helpful to tell me the judge “wouldn’t grant it” and by that time I knew enough but I did say they will… (not that that attorney listened or cared but I didn’t say it for them).

If anything this gives me more confidence not less.

Thank you Dr. Graves!
