LAWFARE EDUCATION & LEGAL ACTIVISM

The Hayes Canon

A lawful operating system for courts under conditions of institutional failure. Using overdetermination, velocity, evidentiary completion, and transparency to compel outcome or expose institutional incapacity on the record.

THE CORE THESIS

The Post-Adjudicability Court

Modern courts increasingly operate where jurisdiction exists, procedure exists, authority is asserted—but adjudicability does not. Rulings do not terminate conflict. Enforcement is assumed but unavailable. Legitimacy depends on ritual rather than function.

Discovered, Not Invented

The Hayes Canon was not designed as theory. It emerged from four federal court cases that revealed systemic institutional failures—custody fractures, record sabotage, ministerial nonperformance, and avoidance by silence.
