Review of Court vs pro se
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Court vs pro se" by Darnell Pinnavaria.]
Darnell (Carmelo) Pinnavaria dedicates his book Court vs Pro-se to bringing to light the corruption and prejudice within the U.S. Justice System. He aims to raise awareness among people about what truly evolves in the name of justice behind the closed doors of the courtroom.
The book begins with his journey to America to claim his citizenship. He learned the language, worked hard at Motorola, and, after a dispute, left the company to enjoy his retirement peacefully like any other faithful citizen of the country. But the things he went through forced him to uncover the hidden truths about the society we trust and live in. He brings to the readers' attention different perspectives on major incidents, such as 9/11, finance misuses, and the mysterious deaths of presidents, arguing how it all was staged for the benefits of the secret societies that plotted them. He finds deep roots of such corruption and abuse of power infiltrated into the public services that are initiated and executed for the welfare of the public. Furthermore, he has directly suffered from such misconduct, first at the company he worked for and later in court proceedings when he reached out for justice as a pro se litigant, which is a practice of self-representation without an attorney.
In this book, which he claims to be the first part, he goes against three different associations in three cases all surrounding his property that he owns in Trout Valley, Illinois. Also, his extensive research reveals the real faces of judges, the way they play god in the courtroom, and how they use their powers for their personal gain and protection.
Readers can get great insight into the knowledge of how court proceedings work. With another round of editing, this book can appeal to and inspire a huge number of people to not bend at the injustice inflicted upon them. Whoever has experience with courtrooms can tell how much arduous effort it takes to run a case, especially without an attorney’s guidance. The adversity the author had to suffer bleeds through the stricken and dismissed pages of his counterclaims, responses, and motions that he filed with the court. It is frustrating to see the most painfully obvious truths and justice in the filing get buried underneath the frivolous excuses of syntax and grammar errors. It is hurtful to know that people with power and money have access to the utmost benefits of the ruling under the guise of such excuses.
However, aside from editing issues, I find the book to be a bit aggressive in its wording. While he points out that “judges should be patient, dignified, and courteous and do not have a right to be rude, demeaning, and condescending toward litigants,” I believe the same applies to all. Throughout the book, the author uses words like imbeciles and fools and wages personal attacks on public service providers, prosecutors, and judges. He can make the accusations without them, and that approach would only strengthen his voice. The other thing I found difficult to digest is the overwhelming amount of legal procedures. At times, various transcripts and filings felt redundant, repetitive, and tiring to read. Hence, I give 3 out of 5 for this otherwise ambitious work. I recommend it to readers who have patience and an interest in real-life courtroom proceedings with a concentrated focus on pro se litigation.
