What’s In Store For You In This Course?

Avoid Wrongful Conviction by Excluding Bad Evidence from Trial. Master Evidence Law Without the Modern Law School Cost, Political Correctness, Critical Race Theory or “Diversity, Inclusion & Equity” Cultism!

The mission of our Evidence Law: Guardrails of Justice Course is to provide a thorough understanding of evidentiary law as it is taught in law school, but at a fraction of the time and cost of what law school costs today, and without the political correctness, critical race theory, or “diversity, inclusion, and equity” cultism that has so thoroughly infected modern law schools. We just do law, as traditionally taught, period.

We’re able to offer these law-school level courses to you at these amazingly low prices precisely because we don’t incur the cost of having them formally accredited, as would be required for a degree-offering program.  If you are interested in an actual Juris Doctor (law degree), it would be necessary for you to attend an accredited law school with its attendant cost and time commitments. 

That said—if you are seriously considering law school, taking our American Law Courses first would place you in an extremely advantageous position relative to your fellow students, who will be learning this material for the first time while earning their law school grades, while you will already have mastered it.

Meet Your Professor

Attorney Ryan Belanger was born and raised in Daytona Beach, Florida. After attending the University of Florida Law School, Attorney Belanger tried hundreds of jury trials while working in the Public Defenders office.

In 2011 Mr. Belanger opened his private practice, where he represented criminal defendants for about 5 years, trying many cases throughout the state of Florida.

Now Mr. Belanger finds himself again in the Public Defender’s office, except this time writing appeals, and is excited to explore the law with you in his various courses at Law of Self Defense.

What Will You Learn In This Course?

Direct vs. Circumstantial Evidence

Circumstantial evidence is often treated in legal dramas as if it were inherently weak. In fact, circumstantial evidence is perfectly valid evidence, and is often stronger than direct evidence. Learn about each and how they are treated in our courts.

Character Evidence & The Williams Rule

your general reputation is usually inadmissible in court--unless, that is, it meets one of many exceptions. In this module we learn why character evidence is frown upon, and under what circumstances it might nevertheless be admitted into court.

Privileges: Judicial Notice

There are many communications that are inadmissible evidence not because they aren't relevant in the trial, but because there are public policy reasons. These include attorney-client privilege, doctor-patient privilege, spousal privilege, and more.

Hearsay

"I swear he said it!" isn't gonna cut it in court. Learn why we dislike hearsay evidence, and the exceptions where they may be allowed in anyway.

Motions to Suppress & Authentication

You may not want some damning evidence against you allowed into court. Find out the rules that permit that evidence to be suppressed, as well as the obligations of those who control that evidence to establish it's authentic or lose it's validity.

Confessions and Statements against Interest

You signed a document that you wrote describing the crime you committed. Are you completely out of luck now? Probably. But not always - learn when that confession may be completely tossed out and why.

The 6th Amendment

The 6th Amendment of the United States Constitutions provides many of our most robust legal protections in criminal cases, including the right to an impartial jury of one's peers, the right to a speedy and public trial, the right to counsel--and, of particular importance in the context of evidence law, the right to confront the witnesses against us at trial.

The Casey Anthony & George Zimmerman Trials

Two critical trials of the 21st century have been the George Zimmerman and Casey Anthony prosecutions. We'll review these two cases to observe real-life examples of what we've learned so far enacted in a true courtroom. We'll also examine how politics and the limelight can warp our "justice" system.
