The Law Offices of Shawn A. McMillan, APC.

Dear All, I am trying to get 1,000 subscribers to my youtube channel. If I can get there, I will put more energy into posting video depositions of social worker defendants, and how to videos regarding the drafting of complaints, etc. Please help me reach my goal of 1,000 subscribers. Go to https://www.youtube.com/user/attyshawn1 and subscribe.

We all need to remember this -- Substance is more important than form: "It has sometimes been said that the law is a study of those wise restraints that make men free. Much of law consists of necessary rules that give order and structure to a free society. Some rules promote order by emphasizing the need for efficiency, including the need for efficient management of the judicial system. Other rules are employed in the service of protecting individuals' fundamental righ...ts and are designed to ensure that such individuals receive the Due Process they are guaranteed by our Constitution. See U.S. Const. amends. V, XIV. Yet far too often in recent years, concern for efficiency and procedure has overshadowed concern for basic fairness, and has transformed our fidelity to process into an undue obsession with formalism and technicalities. In short, a concern for procedure has far too often obscured or eclipsed the equally important if not greater role to be played by our dedication to justice. It was, after all, in order to establish justice that our Constitution was written." (PHELPS v. ALAMEIDA Kevin PHELPS, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Edward ALAMEIDA, Respondent-Appellee. No.07-15167.)

Unless there is reasonable suspicion of infection, no quarantine. Can't quarantine healthy people. The rule is set forth here in this habeas corpus case: In re Arata, 52 Cal. App. 380, 381 (Dist. Ct. App. 1921). Gavin Newsom's order is unlawful.

The time is now! I will be personally presenting the ins and outs of the method and system I have developed over the years to litigate and win this type of Civil Rights case. Soup to nuts -- to the extent I can funnel it all into two days -- you will get it. I'm not holding anything back. The Law Office of Shawn A. McMillan, APC. and Trojan Horse Method are teaming up to teach others how to successfully select, plead, and prosecute a parent or child's civil rights case again...st government social workers and social services agencies -- through trial. The Course will be offered December 6th and 7th, and will cover all aspects of building and prosecuting your civil rights case -- from selecting clients and cases all the way through trial. The course will begin on December 6th, with a brief overview of the applicable law. Next we'll address how to structure your complaint and discovery, including how to weave your version of the facts and law into trial focused depositions. Then, before lunch, we'll talk about the availability of attorney's fees and how to secure them, as well as settlement strategies to maximize the value of your client's case. We will spend the afternoon providing you with concrete case examples to teach how to apply these concepts in the real world, to real cases. We will analyze Bruno v. County of Los Angeles et al. ($1.49 million settlement); and X.X. v. County of Riverside et al. ($2.9 million settlement.) Day two, December 7th, will begin with instruction on voire dire, then we will show you how to structure the flow of your case using a mini-trial in front of a live focus group. The mini-trial will include real voire dire, mini-openings from both the plaintiff and the defense, choreography of video select deposition excerpts that will be played at the trial in lieu of live testimony, and mini-closing arguments. The jury will deliberate during our lunch break with the verdict forms we expect to use at trial. After lunch, we will present a condensed version of the trial in Duval v. County of Los Angeles et al., which resulted in a $3.1 million verdict, and a net $6,000,000 judgment after attorneys' fees and costs. The key to all is the structure of your discovery, especially depositions and requests for admissions. We will show you how to make sure that everything you do in working up your case advances your client's story in a way that makes the jury instructions the Court will give the jury irrelevant. I guarantee you, you will pick up a lot of useful tips and traps. https://events.bizzabo.com/caseanalysis9
