It is amazing how many stupid rules attorney follow that end up throwing their clients under the bus. When I draft foreclosure defense document to file in State Court I always use Federal Statutes. State court hate this strategy because in real life Federal Law Trumps State Law. Federal Court is a higher court than State... Just like the Supreme Court case law trumps everything else. The reason State court Judges complain about having federal laws used in State court is because it removed the discretion from the judge and forces him/her to follow presidents. This strategy makes it much harder for the B.A.R. members to manipulate the proceedings. People believe you can't use Federal Law in State court. Well, Now I have the case law to support my contention that we can file Federal Laws in State court. Check out this priceless case law: In Howlett v. Rose, 496 U.S. 356 (1990) Federal Law and Supreme Court Cases apply to State Court Cases.
