Corpus Juris Secundum

Corpus Juris is "the body of the law" and Secundum is from a Latin phrase meaning "according to nature".

Together "Corpus Juris Secundum" can refer to a compendium of all laws, cases and the varied interpretations of them. Corpus Juris Secundum (CJS) is a national legal encyclopedia that covers state and federal legal topics and has become a source for general rules of law, summarized in "Black Letter" headings and expanded upon.

As such it has become an encyclopedia of United States law at the federal and state levels.

It is arranged alphabetically, into over 430 topics, which in turn are arranged into subheadings. As of 2010, CJS consisted of 164 bound volumes, 5 index volumes and 11 table of cases volumes.

Civil law is the law men make for themselves, often according to their nature.

Examples of CJS

As an example of what you might find in the CJS we will share some quotes within comments:

Function of a judge

While "The function of a judge is to determine controversies between litigants, and he is not an adjunct or adviser, or an investigating instrumentality, of other agencies of government. So, it is the duty of a judge to exercise the judicial functions duly conferred on him by law, and he cannot relieve himself of that duty, nor can he divest himself of jurisdiction, by an arbitrary dismissal of the proceeding. However, if he considers that there are any defects in the proceedings, it has been held that it is his duty to call the attention of counsel thereto, in order that they may be corrected by amendment. He should expedite the business of his court, and it is proper for him to encourage the settlement of controversies between litigants."

DISQUALIFICATION

IX. DISQUALIFICATION TO ACT, A. IN GENERAL § 98. General Considerations "The principle on which rules of disqualification of judges is based is that no judge should preside in a case in which he is not wholly free, disinterested, impartial, and independent."

Ancient maxim

Disqualification to adjudicate a cause rests on the ancient maxim that no man should sit as a judge in his own case. Fla.–State ex rel. First American Bank & Trust Co. of West Palm Beach v. Chillingworth, 116 So. 633, 95 Fla. 699–Power v. Chillingworth, 113 So. 280, 93 Fla. 1030.

What you need to know

In order to understand "Corpus Juris Secundum" and things like "The jurisdiction, authority, and powers of a judge" and what is "beyond the jurisdiction and power so fixed" [1] you need to understand Rights are inherited and coexist with their naturally related responsibilities. It is the neglect of natural responsibilities that people will end up being under tribute.

Do you also understand the personal power of natural parents over their offspring and how they can bind them through application to, participation in covetous practices.

Can natural parents manumit their offspring into the material jurisdiction of the State?
