An introduction to The California Jural Society
A Jural society is an organized political community and a synonym of nation, state, and county. It is Founded in Law, organized upon the basis of a fundamental Law, and existing for the recognition and protection of Rights. The purpose of The California Jural Society is to reestablish the de jure government of the California Republic through county based houses of delegates duly elected by those Electors who desire a return to a lawful government. Due to the loss of the American Union prior to the war of northern aggression, when the southern states walked out of Congress, resulting in a sine die situation, a de facto government was created after hostilities ceased. The states of the earlier union became franchisees of that de facto national government known as the United States. Today, the result is a government of lawlessness, enforcing code through arbitrary and capricious means, by way of military procedure at the direction of the commander-in-chief. That code, created by executive orders and a militarily conscripted Congress (voted in by the franchised people of the franchised state), is then delegated for enforcement by the various branches of government (departments prior to the Civil War). These administrative agencies are thus operating outside of true positive law and are simply code enforcement services. For these and many other reasons, it is essential for the people of California to return to a proper elector status, become involved with The California Jural Society at their county level, in order to return to the Law that made America a great and prosperous nation.
ORGANIZATION and OPERATION
I. The Jural Society is the ultimate civil authority of the county and wields the same power as the county board of supervisors, and much more. The Jural Society is a Christian organization, based on Biblical principals, common law and the Constitutions, State and National. The Jural Society is comprised of three parts, first, it is the county Grand Jury in a de jure venue and jurisdiction, separate of the current de facto government, second, the Jural Society maintains an Assise Court for those who wish to avoid being judged by the ungodly and unbelievers, third, the Jural Society is the civil authority and handles all necessary, day-to-day business within the county as is needed to provide services to the county public at large. Its elected officers are sent as delegates to the State Jural Society to represent their county. At the county level, it has the descetion to maintain any action to protect the county for the people, as the people dictate in their local Jural Society to acquire the above mentioned services and the needs of the people as they may desire.
II. The Militia shall be subordinate to the civil authority as per Article 1, Section 12 of the Constitution of California, 1849. The Jural Society extends the civil protection to the Militia, and the Militia extends physical protection to the Jural Society. The Militia is also to be utilized for civil process until such time the proper officers are elected to relieve the Militia of that particular duty. For the time being, the Militia can and will be utilized for the process of the Grand Jury and the Assise Court.
III. The Ecclesiastical Society provides scriptural guidance and influence to the Jural Society and Militia. They maintain social, mental, physical, religious, spiritual, and biblical welfare in the county. They are an independent body that by God's Law must speak out and step in when the Jural Society or the Militia is in the wrong. They provide the proper checks and balances between the Jural Society and the Militia to maintain a proper Republican Form of Government under Gods Law. They are utilized to render opinions on biblical matters when it is requested by the Assise Court.
IV. The Assise Court can hear issues brought to it by various methods. The petitioners request the Jural Society to be heard on their matter, and enter it upon the record. When this is done, the petitioners are requested to sign a binding arbitration agreement to abide by the decision of the Assise Court, as per Article 1, Section 10, of The Constitution of the united states of America. After this is done, the petitioners file briefs with the Assise Court. The Assise Court proceeds to adduce the evidence and render a judgment based upon their findings. This process should take less than two (2) weeks.
V. The Grand Jury is a free and independent body that adduces its own evidence and delivers their findings to the Jural Society. If the Grand Jury findings need process of service, the Jural Society directs the Militia to do the Process to bring the man, woman, or evidence before the Court.
VI. The Jural Society, Militia, and Ecclesiastic Society need to redress the de facto government in all of its branches. All three of these de jure government elements must maintain a strong Christian attitude in redressing for grievances. The executive, legislative and judicial branches at the city, county, state and national level must all first be redressed for grievances. We must continue to organize the de jure government and maintain a passive attitude unless and until offered no other avenue.
VII. The Jural Society officers must be elected by the Electors of the county that are not members of the Jural Society. All ballots cast by Electors will not be done in secret as Satan would have it, but by open and public elections. This must be done to have a Republican Form of Government and to establish the Jural Society as a legitimate body politic, de jure. This can be accomplished by canceling ones voter registration as per the current California Code section 700, 701, in order to cast a ballot as an Elector. As it is required to only request the cancellation of the registration by the registered voter. This makes one an Elector, and for those who have never voted or registered, it takes only a signed affidavit statement of the same.
CONCLUSION
When these three entities are occupied and maintained by Christian men and women, under God's Law, and are operating within this country again, then, and only then, will we have a proper de jure government.

The Book of the Hundreds
The goal of this Work is, first, in Part One to provide background studies in historical jurisprudence along with 172 footnotes to highlight the true nature of current law and expose many myths held by the law reform movement.
Second, in Part Two is The Christian Jural Society Handbook, why and how We assemble, the Prerogative of Christians under God to form such Society, writing founding documents (a Covenant or constitution) for the Society, how to elect and install officers and townsmen (representatives of the people), and conduct its Work.
Third, in Part Three we present the use of Christian common law process in The Non-Statutory Abatement Handbook, with detailed instructions and several abatements for varied situations. This Handbook is now available only in The Book of the Hundreds.
An expanded Glossary for reference to the Handbooks, is included.
The Works have been available from Us for two years and repeatedly copied by others and often polluted thereby with additions or changes of 'patriot myths' that rendered them useless. This type of activity is absolutely unnecessary and has no place in the abatement process.
We have made many careful changes and additions, based on new research, to this Work.
Part One is new and pulls all the material on martial law and emergency powers out of the first Christian Jural Society and Non-statutory Abatement Handbooks, into one section. The material has been expanded, considerably, and the analysis of the current law situation is much clearer and cogent than before.
Our theory of the case has not changed, only grown more precise as research continues.
The Non-statutory abatements have been revised and are still consistent with our previously published experience of their use. If anything, as the evidence continues to mount with further research, the abatements continue to become more potent.
We urge the Reader to pay special attention to Part One because it explains why We need Christian Jural Societies, and it also explains why We write abatements in the form We do.
We also urge the Reader not to change non-statutory abatements. The reason is, when the form of non-statutory abatements is altered from that herein, the abator usually compromises his case and suffers severely for it.
The entire Work was compiled and written by members of The King's Men, a Christian think-tank who Work to edify and preserve Jesus Christ's church and state through the application of God's Law and Christian common law.
It is Our hope that you will be edified in your Knowledge of the Law and will become an effective proponent of the Work of Christian Reconstruction. This process will be greatly facilitated if We have frequent and detailed commentary from Our fellow Christians. Please feel free to respond by letter, fax, or phone at the locations below.
God's richest blessings upon you, The King's Men

As many Patrons of The News may know by now, we believe that the most economical way to get the works and information to you that are important for Christian Reconstruction is to provide it in electronic form, i.e., on computer. Early on, we believed that the best way to do this would be to set up a Web Page on the World Wide Web via the Internet. This would have eliminated the need for long distance telephone calls for those who had Internet access.
But, as time went on and we investigated the legal questions involved in using the Internet, we discovered certain things which gave us pause to reconsider the Internet approach. First, we were bothered by the fact that none of the Internet sources seemed to have any definitive information on the legal status of one who used the Net, other than the fact that the Net was originally started as The ARPANET, by the Advanced Research Projects Agency, a government funded arm of the Defense Department. Thus, the ARPANET, being government sponsored, had to have been, legally speaking, a military/commercial entity, which was, and is, one of the things we want to avoid.
Granted, ARPANET no longer exists, officially, but the backbone of the Internet is still a project of the United States Government. Further investigation made it clear that all possible Web Site classifications (.com, .net, .org, etc.) were not defined in a legal sense. Yes, .com stands for commercial and net stands for a sub-net, and .org is supposed to cover all other entities not covered by the net designations. But, since there was no 'legal' definition, and no case law extant, the whole picture looked very muddy. This, of course, would be a dangerous place to go.
Thus, it became clear that the Internet was not the place for us to post the works and information we have available.
Accordingly, we announced in a previous Issue of The News that we would not put up an Internet site. We have thus taken an alternate means of providing the information to Patrons.
Ideally, what is needed, is a nationwide, high speed (fiber-optic) network, for Christians and Christian works, that would function as a ministry not within a 501(c)3 corporation. With a fiber optic system, this would mean a backbone speed of greater that 100 megabits per second. This is not likely to come into existence in the very near future.
Thus, we go back to square one and create a stand-alone dial-up system. Most would classify the new system as a bulletin board service (BBS). But, it is not a bulletin board service. It is an electronic library available free to Patrons of The Christian Jural Society News, only.
This new computer library system is called, The Christian Liberty Library, and it will not confine itself solely to topics involving law, though law will form a major subject area of the library - in its initial form at startup. It is scheduled to go on-line and be ready for Patron access and downloading of files, at the end of January, 1998. The system is already under-going on-line testing, file loading, and system configuration.
The Library will be developed in Phases, each involving a significant advance on the previous Phase. The system, as configured in its initial form will be called, The Phase One Library.
The interface to the system that all Patrons will use, that is, the visual look and feel of the system, will not change, except in the number of functions offered and the amount of files available. It is simple and intuitive. The Patron will not need any special software, such as Netscape, or other HTML interfaces.
In Phase One, the Patron will be able to access the library through almost any of the commonly available dial-up software packages, such as: Telix, ProComm, Qmodem, etc., or the Microsoft Windows interface in the Windows program. It can also be accessed by the Macintosh, Amiga, and Atari families of computers so long as the Terminal Emulation on the Patron's end is set up to use the VTl00 type of terminals.
Thus, the Patron will have to tinker a bit to find the right Terminal look and feel that's satisfactory to the Patron's existing software. Initially, set your terminal emulation to vt100, vt102, etc., with ANSI color graphics
Access speed will be 38,400 bps, and on on dial up line. The dial-up telephone number will be 818-313-8814. The Patron will pay for his or her own telephone calls, whether long distance or local.
Functions permitted will be the usual email, messaging, and file downloading. No 'file' uploading to the system is permitted for security reasons. Patrons who wish to post files on the system must forward them to Randy Lee on 3.5" floppy discs, in an IBM compatible format, for off-line checking and formatting before they can be posted in the Library. Thus, do not try to upload to the Library, directly, because the upload function does not exist.
The total of all files in the Library at this time is approximately 100 megabytes. The following list is a Sample of Files On-line in Phase One:
"Legcites," which is a 5.1 megabyte file of significant legal citations compiled by John Joseph over the past 15 years.
More than 1,000 important Court Cases.
Select Sermons from The Colonial Era.
The Opinion of the Attorney General on the Reconstruction Acts (12 Ops. 182).
"Give Me Liberty or, Give Me Death" by Patrick Henry (1775).
A Collection of State Bills of Rights.
James Madison's Notes on the Federal Convention.
Books
Military Government and Martial Law.
The Law of Names.
The Presidency in the Courts.
The Confessions of Augustine.
The Law of Mandamus.
A Treatise on American Citizenship.
U.S. and States under the Constitution.
The Book of the Hundreds, Part One (Prolegomena to Current Martial Rule)
"Democracy in America," by Alexis de Tocqueville (1835).
The Journal of Columbus, (1492).
"The History of America, " by Jackson.
The Complete Works of Shakespeare.
In addition, Patrons will be able send email to the staff at the The Christian Jural Society Press.
Those who are not Patrons of The Christian Jural Society News will only be permitted access to the system for purposes of reading or download information on what is available in The Library and how to be come a Patron of The News, etc.
Each Patron of The News must request access to The Library by posting First Class Matter to Randy Lee at the location found at the end of this article. Patrons will then be assigned a login name, and initial password to get into the Library. On their first login, Patrons must change their password to one of their own choosing. The first login procedure is admittedly inconvenient, but this is purely a security measure to protect the Patron.
The Phase Two Library, beginning in the Fall of 1998, will provide Patrons with several new on-line tools to assist them in their studies, higher access speed (56k), more telephone lines, and other features.
The look and feel of the interface will not change, but there will be several additions to Menu choices. The total number of files available in the Library in this Phase will exceed 300 megabytes on-line for download by Patrons.
One unique Menu item to be added in this Phase, is the Composite Law Dictionary. This on-line dictionary combines the complete texts of: Webster's (1828) Dictionary, Holthouse Dictionary of Law (1847), Bouvier's Dictionary of Law (1856), Anderson's Dictionary of Law (1897), and Black's Dictionary of Law, in one computer file. When the Patron accesses the Composite Dictionary, a separate window will open on the Patron's computer in which the Patron can select any word and have the definition of that word from each of these dictionaries displayed on his own computer, all at the same time. Each source will be displayed in its historical order and one will see the development of the use of words in law over an extended period of time, as well as where the dictionaries agree, or disagree, on the use of a word.
A second feature to be added in this Phase is Cite Linking. In this feature, the Patron may read a file on-line that will have high-lighted cites. The Patron can then select the highlighted text and the system will take the Patron to the actual cite so that it may be read in context. If the word is defined in the Composite Law Dictionary, the system can display a word from that cite in the Dictionary and open a window to display it (at the bottom of the Patron's computer screen).
In The Phase Three Library, beginning in the Spring of 1999, we will feature Counselor On-Line. This function enables a Patron with a problem or question in Law, to enter certain information into the program, step by step, and then follow a recommended procedure to generate process or information that will effectively deal with the subject.
When the on-line procedure is completed, any process developed, can then be downloaded to the Patron's computer as a text file. The Patron can then import the text file into his word processor, adjust its format to fit his word processor and printer, and then print it out, ready for service.
At each stage of the on-line procedure, complete help screens are provided to explain what is happening, and why, and the do's and don'ts of the particular process the Patron ends up with. Successive process on the same matter of Law may also be recommended in some cases.
Files available for downloading from the library are expected to exceed 700 megabytes by 1999 and 1 gigabyte by the year 2000.
Related Developments
Many factors enter into the question of how fast the Library can be upgraded through the Phases. The above projections are based on assumptions given the current level of interest in the Work of The King's Men and The Christian Jural Society News and Press. If interest accelerates significantly, the Phase schedule can be accelerated. If the level of interest declines from its present level, then the speed of development of the Library may also decline and be delayed.
Another factor that enters into the size of the Library, that is the total number of files available, is the rate at which files can be scanned or keyed into computer format.
Thus, for example, if a significant number of Patrons volunteered to key, scan, or proof Works in a computer format and then send such files to us, the number of files available in the Library could increase dramatically and dwarf the projections given in the Phases above.
In putting scanned files into the Library, the key factor is the time it takes to proof files after they have been scanned. Thus, for example, given our current scanner capability, we can scan good quality text sources into the computer at the rate of 200 to 400 pages a day. But, to proof, spell check, etc., those same files could take one to two weeks. Thus, it could take up to two weeks (at 8 hours a day) to put a single 300 page book on the system and make it available for downloading.
If, however, we had volunteers with computers who would proof files after they had been scanned, we could send them books that have been scanned on floppy discs. The volunteers could proof the books and return the proofed files on floppy disc to us, for posting on-line in the Library.
Lastly, we request that Patrons not copy The News for others, but instead encourage others to become a Patron themselves. That support will also impact on the speed at which the Phases can be implemented.
Conclusion
This first Phase of The Christian Liberty Library, though beginning small, is a beginning. Some may downplay its present significance, but the Lord says, "Do not despise the day of small beginnings."
With Our Lord's Blessing, The Christian Liberty Library can become a significant weapon in the furtherance of the Crown Rights of King Jesus. Please join with us on this march forward, and God Bless.
Editor's Note: To access The Christian Liberty Library, set your computer dial-up software to 8N1, i.e., 8 data bits, No parity, and 1 Stop bit. Set your terminal emulation to vt100, vt102, etc.
If you would like to volunteer to do proofing for The Library, or to key works into the computer that cannot be scanned, please notify us by phone or post. Please indicate in what way you wish to volunteer (scan or proof). The volunteer program will be implemented in February of 1998.
