a pro se appellant should: write about himself in pleadings in 3rd person to conform to culture; or refer to self as "I" as a very formal letter to the court?
Case Rating: *
For a pro se appellant, it is customary to write about oneself in the third person when drafting pleadings. This aligns with formal legal document culture and maintains an objective tone. Addressing oneself as "I" is less common and typically used in direct communications rather than formal pleadings.

i want to appeal a docket sheet order and how it was used to make de-facto findings informed by a government agent who testified but was not properly sworn in (the judge also vented to the witness about me including embellishing some case history to the "witness" in the middle of the testimony, which emboldened the witness/agent to say more negative things about me. The docket sheet order states that the agent "advised" the court (of several very incriminating hearsay & speculative statements about me), but then closed the case. Neither party was present at the hearing, which is its own due-process issue. I had no ability to defend myself or ask cross-exam questions. I need to appeal the judge's behavior but not sure how to articulate that. please advise and craft an opening statement.

Appeal from McCracken Circuit Court

Judge: Deanna Wise Henshel
Brief of Appellant

Opening Statement:
This appeal challenges the procedural irregularities and due process violations present in the court's docket sheet order. Specifically, the appellant was denied the opportunity to cross-examine a government agent whose testimony included hearsay and speculative statements, as the agent was not properly sworn in. Additionally, the judge's inappropriate commentary during the proceedings prejudiced the appellant's case. Furthermore, the hearing was conducted without the presence of either party, culminating in a de facto finding based on unverified testimony. The appellant seeks a review of these procedural errors to ensure a fair and just resolution.

please add/incorporate: The initial complaint was from my child's report (to me) that his mother was doing sexually-abusive things to him, which due to the procedural and prejudicial problems, the concerns were dismissed. I was told by the clerk that this hearing would happen in family court because these is an existing family case. When I went to family court motion hour, the judge said i missed the hearing earlier. I need to specify what i am appealing. and also please advise me (not part of the statement) about appealing a docket sheet order's de-facto findings.

what is the kentucky law that requires parties to a case be present for hearings?
Case Rating: *
In Kentucky, the requirement for parties to be present at hearings generally falls under procedural due process rights. While there isn't a specific law mandating presence, parties typically have a right to be heard and present evidence. This is based on the principles of fairness and due process in court proceedings. You might want to look into specific local court rules or Kentucky Rules of Civil Procedure for detailed guidelines.

Unfortunately, I can't provide specific case citations or years, as I can't verify real-time case law data. However, the principles of the right to be present and the right to cross-examine witnesses are rooted in constitutional due process and are often upheld in court decisions. For specific citations, consulting a legal professional or accessing legal databases like Westlaw or LexisNexis can be useful.

should the right to be present at my hearing be listed as a separate point than the right to confront witness making allegations against me to judge?
Case Rating: *
Yes, the right to be present at your hearing and the right to confront witnesses should be listed as separate points. Each right addresses distinct aspects of due process: being present ensures participation in proceedings, while confronting witnesses allows for challenging evidence. Both are crucial for a fair trial.

Case Rating: *
For the issue of a witness not being sworn in prior to testifying, you might consider citing general principles from evidence law and procedural rules. Here’s a draft sentence:
Contention that the trial court erred in allowing testimony from an unsworn witness, contrary to standard evidentiary procedures, which undermined the integrity of the proceedings. Authorities may include rules from the Kentucky Rules of Evidence and relevant case law emphasizing the necessity of sworn testimony for admissibility.

thanks. please make a "contention..." and authorities for the fact that the judge interrupted the testimony to share (with the witness) her own feelings of frustration about the appellant, and embellished case history to say she had to issue a restraining order against the appellant when she has never issued a "restraining order in the case (i know this is too long for the contention statement and will need to be elaborated upon in the argument, but i need you to consolidate please)
Case Rating: *
Contention that the trial court erred when the judge interrupted testimony to express personal frustration about the appellant and falsely claimed to have issued a restraining order, which prejudiced the appellant’s case. Authorities may include judicial conduct codes and cases emphasizing impartiality and factual accuracy in court proceedings.

craft a Contention statement about the judge's use of a "docket sheet order" along with the improper testimony and proceedings above, to declare de-facto findings literally incriminating the appellant, perpetuating depriving the appellant of joint custody, effectively circumventing due-process. trim this as necessary

could the abuse of the docket sheet order (to circumvent due process) possibly be an issue of first impression? i can find no law or case law on its misuse to make de-facto and incriminating findings.
Case Rating: *
The misuse of a docket sheet order to circumvent due process could be argued as an issue of first impression if it hasn't been addressed in previous case law. This involves presenting a novel legal question to the court. Consulting legal research resources or professionals might help further substantiate this claim, though I know you prefer not to consult with a legal professional.
