I remember the Christian Jural Society with Randy Lee and John Joseph (JOHN QUADE, the actor - head of the Black Widows in EASTWOOD's Every Which Way but Loose). Those guys researched at the UCLA Law School library.

They taught that the authority of the court resides with the clerk. The clerical upkeep of the record is sure enough crucial for there to be authority in process.

From the Colorado Revised Statutes:

13-1-101. Clerks shall keep record books.

The clerks of the courts of record in this state shall keep in their respective offices suitable books for indexing the records of their said offices, one to be known as the direct index and one as the inverse index.
And especially:

13-1-111. Courts of record.


The acts of a court of record are known by its records. Judicial records are not only necessary but indispensable to the administration of justice. The court judgments can be evidenced only by its records. The acts of a court of record are known by its records alone and cannot be established by parol testimony. The court speaks only through its records, and the judge speaks only through the court. Herren v. People, 147 Colo. 442, 363 P.2d 1044 (1961).
For some context why this is on my mind, sometimes a suitor feels more comfortable keeping the original documentation (Notice and Demand for Lawful Money for example) in his home office filing cabinet. Myself, I feel since I am appealing to the US Government to protect my property rights as established in 1789, then the public and publicly recognized clerks are better. One thought that arose out of this is two originals which does not make sense in terms of "original". However I hear that there are four "original" Declaration of Independence parchments so maybe I am not so adamant about this point.

I keep my originals with the recognized clerks. It seems to me that suitors who keep their own originals are the ones who trust in God to intervene. And they seem to do quite well with their process so I cannot find reason to knock them as their own clerks.
