 Hi, I'm David Cantor with the Law Offices of David Michael Cantor today I'm going to talk about the University Lakes Justice Court now if you were stopped by a sheriff's officer a DPS officer Or an ASU cop you will go to justice court if you were stopped by a city cop and charged with a misdemeanor You'll go to city court, but I'm talking about the justice court There are certain jurisdictional boundaries to the University Lakes Justice Court I have a map right here now the yellow is where the jurisdiction is to the north is Continental Drive to the south is Warner To the east is Price Road or Phyllis Road and to the west is Mill Avenue Now if you were stopped outside of this jurisdiction, but sent to the University Lakes Justice Court We have a jurisdictional defense that can get your entire case thrown out Now if you're cited to go into this justice court, the address is 201 East Chicago Street. That's in Chandler, Arizona 85225. That's at the San Tan Regional Court Center Parking is plentiful. You just park out front. You don't have to pay for it When you go in make sure you're dressed appropriately. No sunglasses. No hats. No cutoffs Make sure you wear a collared shirt. Look as if you're going to a job interview the judge will respect that now Once you get in there in front of the judge the judge in this court is Tyler Kissel. He's a brand new judge He was just elected. I don't know much about him But what I do know is he's not a member of the Arizona bar That means he's not a lawyer in the state of Arizona may not be a lawyer at all Yes, you heard me right. He may not be a lawyer in Arizona You can run for justice of the peace as long as you are 18 years of age And have a high school diploma and no felony convictions Basically once this person's elected or any justice of the peace is elected They go through several weeks of training then they come into court and they judge guilt or innocence and they also judge Evidentry issues and whether they're gonna throw charges out or grant motions to dismiss or not grant them So there's an advantage to the prosecutor They file the paperwork and they're trained lawyers and the judge will listen to them if you have an attorney on your side You now have the advantage of having better briefs fire filed in my opinion and also better arguments in my opinion So when you go into court, there's gonna be a certain order they're gonna follow first people They're gonna take are the interpreter cases. These are the people that don't speak English and there's an interpreter in Custody interpreter first out of custody second interpreter leaves and then private counsel gets to go next now private counsel We're gonna get you in and out of court usually within 30 to 45 minutes If you don't have an attorney at all they go alphabetically and you may be sitting there till the afternoon before you even see the judge Even though you may only see the judge for 30 to 45 seconds on your first court appearance So it's good to have private counsel So if you or a loved one were charged with a misdemeanor crime and you're going to the University Lakes Justice Court Go to our website dmcanner.com.
