The Jural Assembly Handbook By: Anna Von Reitz

Section 17 — Clerks and Bondsmen

There are two Offices in our Public Courts that derive from the ancient Ecclesiastical Courts:
Clerks were originally Clerics and Bondsmen were Bondsmen of Christ.

Clerks set the venue of court cases — that is, they determine where a case belongs, in which
court and jurisdiction, and they assign it to a specific Judge, a Justice, or a Justice of the Peace to
“shepherd” the proceedings.

So the first duty of a Court Clerk is to recognize the kind of action being pursued and the nature
of the people or the persons pursuing it, and thereby, to correctly direct it to the appropriate
jurisdiction and the appropriate court within that jurisdiction.

For many years now (since around 1965 in most places) Court Clerks have had no “People
Courts” to refer people to. All the Public Courts we are owed were unlawfully converted into
private courts serving only “Persons” when our often disloyal and often clueless employees
incorporated the Territorial States of States and then the Counties, and began operating them as
local franchises of federal corporations in exchange for federal kickbacks.

Now we have overcome the presumption and mistakes that led to this situation and are engaged
in the process of setting up the Public Courts owed to the people of this country again. To start,
we will only be serving the members of State Jural Assemblies because we are the only “people”
to serve.
Everyone else has been reduced to “person-hood” via a process of adhesion contracts and non-
disclosure and fraud.

Unfortunately, until they all wake up and explicitly change their “presumed” political status, and
join the State Jural Assembly, they are outside our jurisdiction just as they are outside of ours.

Our Clerks have to turn away people who are coming to our courts seeking redress while still
functioning as “foreign persons” on our shores.
This can be determined simply by asking if they are members of a State Jural Assembly? And by
looking at the subject of the case.
Does it involve one of the People?

Does it involve things that occurred within the boundaries of our State or at the County level,
inside our County?
Is it an issue that pertains to the land and soil and to actual, factual people and things? That is our
jurisdiction.

Or is it something intangible and theoretical, like two corporations arguing over patent rights?
That is THEIR jurisdiction.

A good Court Clerk can determine the jurisdiction of a case from determining the capacity in
which parties to a case are acting, the nature of the controversy and what it involves as subject
matter.

Obviously, though a great many living people have valid issues that need to be addressed — so
long as they continue to act as “persons” instead of choosing to act as people, we are powerless
to assist.
