successful one can be without giving up anything.

Here ' s a slightly different approach based on the judge calling out a case from the roster. John
Henry Doe, is in court today in response to a summons. The charge is driving with expired plates
and no proof of auto insurance.

Judge: JOHN HENRY DOE v. STATE OF OREGON

Judge: What is your name?

SPC : Who wants to know?

Judge: My name is right here, (The judge pointing to his name placard)

SPC: Can you please state for the record, your Honor, your full and complete name?

Judge: Lawrence Jefferson Shyster

SPC : Thank you, your honor. D o you have a claim against me?

Judge: No !

SPC: (Looking toward the Prosecutor), Do you have a claim against me?

Prosecutor: The state of Oregon has a claim against you.

SPC : Then would you please put the State of Oregon o n the witness stand and swear i t in?

Prosecutor: The State of Oregon does not have a claim against you.

SPC: (Looking around the courtroom, now up at the ceiling) Does anyone here have a claim
against me?

SPC : I ask that the order of the court be released to me.
