This article is a nice starting point for contract training. One of the major points not included is, when somebody (government) says (acts like) there is a contract with a person, and the person DOESN'T REALIZE that government is acting like there is a contract, then what? People need to know to require the contract from the government PEOPLE, in their human status, not in their government status. It's a court thing. Basic rules of court state that there are 4 things that anybody/anybody has to have to make a man-to-man court case: 1) accuser; 2) accused; 3) harm or damage (injury) done to the accuser; 4) witness and proof that the accused did the damage. Depending on the wording of the formal contract between a client and his attorney, the courts can do anything in certain areas. The client has no say except to fire the attorney. AND, regarding some things, government courts don't have any authority to do them. But they often do them, anyway.
