You'll probably need to reference it during your pursuit of justice (in federal court; in state court; and/or at DOAH).
For instance, this material might help you recover from the damages that lawbreaking judges/lawyers/agencies/organizations have inflicted upon you [and/or the public] (see this example of a Florida judge who outright committed perjury).
Perhaps it'll [even] help you navigate through your state's administrative gauntlet. A gauntlet which might include – but not be limited to:
- Stage Agency Bribery;
- Stage Agency Corruption;
- Stage Agency Obstruction; and
- Stage Agency Self-Discrimination
