Congratulations! You're now booked up on 28 USC §2072 (a federal statute pertinent to civil rights litigation)!

You might need to reference it during your pursuit of justice.

For instance, you might need to understand certain statutes to recover from the damages that lawbreaking judges/lawyers/agencies have inflicted upon you [and/or the public] (see this example of a Florida judge who outright committed perjury).

As always, please get the justice you deserve.

Sincerely,
