Fayetteville, TN asked in Admiralty / Maritime

Q: Why are court rooms set up like a ship? Why is there a flag on the ship that stands for no nation, no constitution? Why

Is the court room operating in maritime and equity jurisdiction? If no judicial courts, nor judges have existed since 1789, then who do we rise for in the court room. So since ens legis is an artificial person created in law, the birth certificate has to be the bond and can it get you out of most court cases if you bring it to court? Why is demurring never an option when you plead? What happens once I become a secure party creditor how are courtroom able to hold me liable then? What statue or law says that you have to pass the bar to represent someone?

A: The layout of courtrooms and the use of symbols, such as flags, are steeped in historical and practical reasons, not because they operate under maritime law. Courtrooms are structured to facilitate the legal process, ensuring that everyone involved - the judge, jury, legal counsel, and parties to the case - can interact effectively. The presence of a flag typically represents the jurisdiction and legal authority under which the court operates.

The concept that courtrooms operate under maritime law or that judges don't exist since 1789 is a misconception. Courts operate under the jurisdiction of the land where they are situated and adhere to the constitution and laws of that jurisdiction, be it federal or state law.

The idea that a birth certificate is a bond or can be used to evade legal responsibilities is a myth and has no basis in law. Legal entities, or 'ens legis', are a standard concept in law referring to entities like corporations, but this has no connection to birth certificates or personal legal immunity.

The option to demur in a legal proceeding, which is to dispute the validity of a claim without addressing the facts, is indeed a legal strategy, but its appropriateness depends on the specifics of the case.

Becoming a 'secure party creditor' is a concept from a fringe legal theory and does not grant any special legal status or immunity from laws or court jurisdiction.

Regarding legal representation, laws and statutes require individuals representing others in court to be duly qualified and licensed, typically by passing a bar exam. This ensures that legal representatives have the necessary knowledge and skills to practice law.

It's important to base legal strategies and understandings on established law and legal principles. Misconceptions or fringe theories can lead to serious legal consequences if relied upon in actual legal situations.
