I go to different peoples houses and business for my job and once in a while I am lucky enough to go to a law office or visit a lawyer at home. Recently I decided to start asking lawyers if they know what positive law is. Basically this is my own little survey. So far I have only asked 2 lawyers and their responses are very similar… and sad.

1. The first one did not recognize the term and also had no idea what the Code of Federal Regulations was. (works for a big name national business)

2. The second person simply gave me a blank stare before continuing to explain how “positive law” must be an old archaic term no longer in use. (self employed)

Even though that's only 2 people, it's still 100%!!! 1 USC 204, to me, is one of the basics that I would hope all law school graduates understand. I also assume the majority of the areas lawyers graduated from University of Idaho which as far as I've heard has a very good law school. But looking at it that way makes the situation seem even more hopeless, if THIS is supposedly high quality education.

Its time to start keeping multiple copies of 1 USC 204 on hand just as a little 2 page hand out for when I run into these people.

If one would not have to pay the foreclosure would they still have to pay the monthly amount? It seems to me that not owing them a lump sum is the same as not owing them lots of little amounts to equal the lump sum.

Thanks for the article, it was a good one.

Its hard to start an argument if everyone agrees. Wow just imagine if every county in every state had only a 100 person militia. When looked at from that angle it seems that rebuilding the militia would be real easy, and probably very effective.

Continuing about his form, does anyone have first hand experience with filing and sending this form, maybe with what responses were received and how those responses were handled?

Oh and to clarify I'm looking for stories of personal experience as opposed to advice on what to do in such an occasion.

Now I don't have the resignation document in front of me, but i recall there being certain demands or requests at the end. Are those expected not to be fulfilled? The main one i can think of now is the “refund of wrongly paid tax” portion. If they choose not to answer, how is that dealt with?
