can handwriting analisys be used in court?
78611
A peice of handwriting can be submitted as evidence and an analyst called to the stand to answer questions about what he sees, but it's a kind of out-there approach. I wouldn't recommend it at all if you don't hire a professional analyst.

maybe none. I used to write really really small cause my handwriting was so bad. It looked reallly nice when it was small. I only did it so that it would look nicer and I could get better grades.

Hopefully you can't.  That would be a serious breach of security.  What kind of paper are you writing anyway??  Maybe you should attempt to talk to someone from your school's CJ department.  They may be able to get you enough info for a paper without leaking sensitive info.

of course it would affect your case..it can give you a good chance not to be convicted, right? unles it's a typographical error ;), kidding aside...such concern is critical and having a wrong last name on paperwork is a big matter to consider!

No offense intended, Rob, but "Graphology" is a pseudoscience. There is nothing one can learn about your personality from looking at handwriting. (Well, unless you always put down "Kill the authorities!")\n\nThe extent to which it works is when the analysis contains a number of vague generalizations that are generally positive. This is called the Forer Effect. The very same advice can be given to hundreds of people and they will each think it applies to them.\n\nTry this - if you believed in graphology and got this answer back would it apply to you? Virtually all people say yes - making the whole thing meaningless.\n-------------\nYou have a need for other people to like and admire you, and yet you tend to be critical of yourself. While you have some personality weaknesses you are generally able to compensate for them. You have considerable unused capacity that you have not turned to your advantage. ou also pride yourself as an independent thinker; and do not accept others' statements without satisfactory proof. But you have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. \n-------------\n\nThere have been literally hundreds of scientific studies of graphology and the net result: nada.

Go to court and ask for the documents.  They're, for the most part, public record.  However, many cases are settled without any formal notation of the settlement with the Court.

Sorry, not familiar with the case, but I do suggest Lexis Nexis at your college library

i don't know if it would work, but around here, a statement would have to at least be notarized to be accepted by a court official. you can find public notaries at many law offices and banks/credit unions.

Rules vary by jurisdiciton, and each court publishes their own standards for what they require. Check your local listings.\n\nHowever, most tend to accept 1" margins, 12 point type, either Times New Roman, Courier New, or Ariel fonts. Double spaced.

Probably not. If the services of a handwriting expert are needed to verify a signature's authenticity, the expert must be able to examine the original document.  There's no way you could compare the signature you have with an online photo and acertain with 100% certainty that what you have is authentic.

Actually, there are plenty of jurisdictions in which your letter would be admissible. We allow them all the time, they speak to the character of the defendant and are often an important consideration during sentencing. The bottom line is - if you can't provide reliable information, don't write the letter. However, if you CAN honestly say that hes a decent guy and made a mistake, heres what you need to say: \n-I've known X for Y years, our relationship is Z. \n-He has always proven to be a good friend, an honest person, and an upstanding member of the community.\n-He is a member of X organizations, contributes to Y charities, and goes to Z church/synagogue/mosque.\n-He has kids, a wife, a dog, whatever, that he cares for and that depend on him.\n-He has indicated to you that he is SORRY for what he did.\n-His actions were completely out of character. \n\nThe apology is the most important factor. Judges want to hear that a defendant regrets their actions, not just that they should be given extra consideration because they are decent people. Talk about his remorse and you'll be able to help him. Its a nice thing you're doing, good luck.

Well, it depends on the jurisdiction, but basically, it is exactly what it says:  the judge and the lawyers for both sides confer to see how much they can agree upon to get ready for trial.  They will usually have to have their trial briefs prepared by that time, so the judge knows how to plan for how long the trial will be, how many witnesses, etc.  The judge will usually rule on motions in limine at that time; that's the motions to exclude certain witnesses or evidence for various reasons.  There may be stipulations of fact or applicable law, to save time.  (An obvious one is to stipulate that the documents presented are authentic copies of the originals, to save the time of having to prove that.)  They will also usually go over the jury instructions each side wants the judge to read to the jury.  These are precisely worded (we say "boilerplated") instructions which are based directly on the applicable law.  Of course, each side has somewhat different ideas as to which laws are applicable, and so the judge looks over the ones each side proposes, and decides which ones he will use.  They may talk about their expert witnesses, and the need to put certain witnesses on earlier or later than the usual order of things, for whatever reasons.  Sometimes there will be discussions of what exhibits are going to be used, so the courtroom staff can have a blackboard or an overhead projector or whatever available.  Above all, this is the very last chance to settle a case without the expense of a trial, if there is any hope of doing so.  In criminal cases, this would usually mean that the DA offers to reduce the charge if the defendant will plead guilty, rather than take the time and expense (and risk he will lose) of going to trial.

getting help. They have special tutors. I also heard when writing if you use a yellow legal pad it's easier to read. Something about the yellow.

at this point few jurisdictions are completely on line.\ni would call the da's office for info.\nthey are familiar with the system and aren't as backed up with cals as the courts.
