Pro Se Plaintiff wins in the NJ Supreme Court! (Case Update)
May 20th, 2008 | By Michael L. Saile, Jr., Esq. | Category: Blogs, New Jersey Injury InformationMonths ago we reported to you the NJ Appellate Division decision in the case of Reilly v. AAA Mid-Atlantic. This was the case which involved a one car NJ car accident where the driver reportedly slipped off the road due to icy conditions. The case was basically about the NJ car insurance company claiming that it was automatically the driver’s fault in a one car NJ car accident. This prompted the NJ car insurance company to issue the driver 5 eligibility points relating to the driver’s NJ car insurance.
After losing in the NJ Appellate Division, the Plaintiff (who represented himself) took his case to the NJ Supreme Court and won! The NJ Supreme Court held the NJ Department of Insurance regulation regarding the one car NJ car accident situation was unreasonable and against public policy.
Here, a single person, not even a lawyer, beat a powerful insurance company in the NJ Supreme Court. Congratulations!

I am gesaring up to do the same thing in my case.
Although I would like to have an attorney help me file the papers and argue my speedy trial case, I have a feeling it will hard to find an attorney willing to Stand up to the State and the Court.
I know I am right though, as the pro se litigant in this matter knew he was right.
When the NJ Supreme Court ordered the cases to proceed to trial on January 10, 2006, there iis no vaid reason I should be sitting here today, 976 days after my arrest, 15th court appearance coming up, having asserted my right to a speedy trial several times.
Not only that, but the municipal court my case was in (was because it is no longer in that court) did not trial one alcotest dui case between jan 10, 2006 and march 17, 2008. direct obstruction of the law, perversion of the law.
Not only do I have the speedy trial appeal to do, but the NJ Supreme Court advisory committee, obstruction of justice charges to be filed, and the civil suit.
Because evey law, case law, and right, are on my side, every which way you look at it, I feel that even as pro se, i can win, as this man in the srticle did.
