Editor's Notes
The reference to “Section 12 of this Article” in the first paragraph of this section is to former Section 12 of Article II as it existed prior to the revision of that article by 1971 Act No 277 (1971 (57) 319). The present provisions of Section 5 of Article II are somewhat similar to those of Section 12 of that article as it existed prior to the 1971 revision.
The reference to “Section 13 of Article II” in the third paragraph of this section is to this section as it now exists following the revision of Article II by the amendment ratified by 1971 Act No 277 (1971 (57) 319).
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:
- State Agency Bribery;
- State Agency Corruption;
- State Agency Obstruction; and
- State Agency Self-Discrimination
