Procedural Law

I can tell you right now that I am not really a big fan of Rules of Court back in law school but the thing is, this actually plays a big part on one's case. Are you aware that even if you have a good case you can lose by technicalities? It will be very valuable to know that your counsel knows Rules of Court pretty well. One can use Procedural Laws to escape a liability and it only takes that small hole of opportunity to check whether the other party is lacking some technical requirements. Judges in Court are very particular with Rules of Court. If there is some essential requirement missing on a Motion one has filed I can tell you outright that that Motion will be denied. It doesn't matter if your Motion contains essential facts and significant evidence but once there's some technicality that wasn't properly followed, you know what will happen next. Do you think it's fair that some cases lose because of mere technicality? Personally, if you lose a case for this reason I think it was your mistake hiring an incompetent lawyer. Being a client you must be diligent enough to hire someone of reputable standing of winning cases. You can't really blame anybody here but yourself because you're the one who lacked good judgment. Don't be fooled that a lawyer graduated from whatnot law school because that doesn't say anything about him at all. I know many smart and very intelligent lawyers when they were still studying law but on trial, I have to say they just don't fit. Most smart and very Intelligent lawyers are better at desk jobs maybe because they are lacking with personality. A very good suggestion I can give you is hire a lawyer who have been doing Private Practice for many years because there's no substitute for decades of experience in trials.
