LOCAL RULE 23 | CLOSING REMARKS
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION.
CIRCUIT CIVIL DIVISION 03
THE HONORABLE DANIEL A. CASEY
You might need to reference them during your pursuit of justice.
For instance, you might need to understand certain local rules to recover from the damages that lawbreaking judges/lawyers have inflicted upon you (see this example of a Florida judge who outright committed perjury).
As always, please get the justice you deserve.
Sincerely,
