Litigation Insights – Joel Stephen Mattson is a Constitutional Advocate and Scholar of Constitutional Law

By: Joel Stephen Mattson

Gain critical knowledge on legal strategies to combat institutional corruption.

Litigation is one of the most powerful weapons available to the people. When wielded with precision, it can not only bring justice in individual cases but also force systemic change. This page is dedicated to exposing the hidden traps, unlawful tactics, and courtroom games used by corrupt institutions—and how to beat them using airtight legal strategies.

The legal system, while advertised as fair and impartial, is often rigged against the average person. Whether through procedural confusion, judicial bias, or unlawful immunity shields, corrupt actors within the government and corporate world rely on your ignorance. But ignorance is not a permanent condition—it’s a choice to stay in the dark. Here, we choose the light. We choose knowledge. And we use that knowledge to dismantle the fraud, one lawsuit at a time.

Popular Topics Covered:

Using Federal Court to Bypass Local Corruption
Local courts are often embedded in the same corrupt networks that abused your rights in the first place. From biased judges to backroom deals between prosecutors and police, justice is often impossible at the county level. Federal courts, however, are bound by the Constitution and federal rules of procedure. Learn how to invoke 28 U.S.C. § 1441 and § 1443 for removal, and how to prepare a Notice of Removal that survives scrutiny. We break down what constitutes federal questions, civil rights violations, and how to make federal jurisdiction stick.
Summary Judgment as a Sword
Summary judgment isn’t just a tool—it’s a tactical nuclear strike. It allows you to win without trial by showing there are no genuine disputes of material fact. We walk you through how to structure your motion, what kinds of evidence courts can’t ignore (like body cam footage and unrebutted affidavits), and how to argue that the opposing party cannot survive summary judgment. When done right, this filing eliminates frivolous defenses and compels the court to rule in your favor.
Unmasking Immunity Defenses
Qualified Immunity is one of the most abused doctrines in American legal history. It’s used to shield government agents from consequences, even when their actions are obviously unlawful. But there’s a fatal flaw: it only applies when the law is not “clearly established.” We show you how to cite case law that makes the law crystal clear, demonstrate that no reasonable official could act that way, and defeat immunity claims with sharp, constitutional logic. Real examples included.
Fraud Destroys Jurisdiction
The moment fraud enters a case—especially institutional or procedural fraud—jurisdiction evaporates. Courts cannot enforce contracts, laws, or actions based on deception. Citing foundational Supreme Court cases like U.S. v. Throckmorton and Void Judgments by Fraud, we reveal how to raise jurisdictional challenges, file affidavits that force rebuttal, and collapse the entire proceeding under its own illegitimacy. This tactic is especially powerful in administrative court fraud and tax court abuse.
The Consent Trap in Civil and Criminal Court
Most people don’t realize that participation in many courts is voluntary. Article I courts require your consent. If you do not grant it, they have no authority to proceed. But they’ll never tell you that. In fact, the Magistrate Act originally required courts to inform you of your right to withhold consent. That clause was later removed, relying on the legal fiction that “ignorance of the law is no excuse.” We break down how to revoke consent, invoke Article III, and push your case into a constitutional court.
Affidavits That Hit Like a Hammer
Sworn affidavits are one of the most underrated legal weapons. When unrebutted, they become fact in the record. Learn how to structure affidavits that tell the truth, destroy hearsay, and block corrupt officials from changing the narrative. We provide real templates that have been used in court—affidavits that forced dismissals, triggered federal review, and shifted entire cases. Don’t speak your truth—file it under penalty of perjury.
Evidence Strategy and the ‘Fruit of the Poisonous Tree’ Doctrine
Evidence obtained through unlawful means is inadmissible. Period. If the root is poisoned, the fruit is too. This means that once a stop, arrest, or seizure is proven unlawful, all downstream evidence must be excluded. We show you how to isolate the moment of constitutional violation, point the court to your video or affidavit record, and gut the opposing side’s case from the inside out. One minute of body cam footage can erase a hundred pages of lies.
How to Use the Brady Rule to Demand Evidence
Brady v. Maryland is a landmark decision requiring prosecutors and law enforcement to hand over exculpatory evidence. But they often conceal it, delay it, or redact it unlawfully. Learn how to file Brady demands, what to say when they refuse, and how to use their obstruction as leverage for dismissal, sanctions, or default. This isn’t just about fairness—it’s about due process.
Forced Silence: How Retaliation Proves Liability
When officers or prosecutors retaliate against you for speaking out, filing complaints, or asserting rights, they commit constitutional violations. Retaliation is not protected under immunity laws. We show you how to document threats, prove causal connection, and sue under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Retaliation is the smoking gun. Use it.

Winning By the Book—And Then Burning Their Book

You don’t win by asking for justice. You win by forcing it—using their own rules, cases, and codes against them. These insights are drawn from real litigation where every word was weighed, every trap anticipated, and every filing designed to cripple the opposition’s position before they even respond.

We teach you how to:

Structure your pleadings to meet Rule 8 and Rule 56 standards
Tie every claim to constitutional authority and case precedent
Use certified mail to create irrefutable proof of notice
Collapse false narratives using timestamped evidence
Hold public officials personally liable under § 1983 and § 1985

And we don’t just say it. We do it. These are the exact tools and strategies used in cases involving unlawful arrest, property seizure, tax fraud, and denial of due process—all of which resulted in dismissals, damages, or constitutional exposure.
