Here’s the thing….All court cases are similar to a tennis match, but with criminals. They are criminals, it’s what they do. So instead of focusing on criminals acting like criminals, focus on what you can control. They are criminals but they are also grownups and you can’t tell grownups what to do. Don’t worry about them. Let them manage their case and you do the same. Here’s a broad stoke on how to manage your case… Learn the rules and procedures of the court and the law of your case. That’s it. Literally. By law, the court must provide the rules and procedures of the court to everyone, either through calling their employees or visiting their website. Either way, everybody has to follow them. Remember when you were younger and you wanted to play a new game, but you had to learn the rules of the game so you’ll know how to play? And remember how some people thought they were too special to follow the rules so they would lie, cheat, and finesse? Just doing everything and anything just to win. Court is the same way. It is ran by a bunch of childish and immature people with titles doing the most. It would actually be funny if it wasn’t so harmful. Next, find the law of your case….Meaning, support your position. How? Find cases that are similar to your case that had a favorable outcome. Why? Because they’ve already done the heavy lifting. They already did the research. They have the references and laws to back it up. And if you find a Supreme Court case, that’s even better.

Detrimental reliance happens when you rely on someone in authority to act fairly and follow the rules — and you get harmed because they didn’t. In law, it means: 👉 You reasonably believed the judge (or authority) would behave according to law, fairness, and due process… 👉 You relied on that belief during your case… 👉 And because the judge violated those standards, you suffered harm, loss, or prejudice. It is rooted in equity — meaning the court must act honorably if it expects YOU to honor its rulings. 🧠 Why It Matters in Judicial Misconduct Cases Most people walk into court believing: - The judge will be neutral - The judge will follow procedure - The judge will listen to evidence - The judge will not insult, bully, or shame them That expectation is reasonable. Judges swear an oath to do exactly that. So when a judge behaves like a wayward, rude, biased, or hostile authority figure, you can argue: “I relied on the court’s duty of fairness and that reliance led to harm because the judge abandoned neutrality.” This is detrimental reliance. ⚖️ How to Use Detrimental Reliance in Your Case...You can raise detrimental reliance in: 1. Judicial Misconduct Complaints Point out that you relied on the judge’s oath and legal duty to conduct themselves with fairness and impartiality — and that the misconduct caused: - Loss of rights - Skewed rulings - Financial harm - Reputation damage - Emotional/psychological injury - Procedural injustice 2. Motions to Vacate or Reconsider Show that the entire ruling is tainted because you relied on a “fair tribunal” that didn’t exist. A biased judge = constitutional defect. 3. Appeals Appeals LOVE this argument.Judges cannot violate your reliance on fundamental fairness. If they do, the ruling is often reversible error. 4. Civil Rights Lawsuits (42 USC § 1983) If the misconduct rises to a constitutional violation, detrimental reliance strengthens your argument that: - You expected due process - You were denied due process - You suffered actual harm because of that denial

Let me be clear on what this space is about. This is a community, not a customer service line. Community means we ALL contribute for the good of ALL. If you are here, it’s because you have value to add: your experiences, your lessons, your wins, even your struggles and frustrations. Share it as a new post. What you share could be the very thing that saves someone else going through the same battle right now. You don’t have to know everything to contribute. Start by sharing where you are. Post your personal experiences. Not just a bunch of questions. You have been through a lot, so share it. Post what happened before, during, and your current circumstances. We need the journey, not just the panic. That is literally how my own journey into legal research began. I have over 4,000 videos across social platforms teaching empowerment through legal education. I've done the work already so it's not happening here. The reason I started this community is to learn about your journey. Share it, so others can grow. And just maybe your journey will prevent someone else from suffering. And if I played a role in your journey, great, that's fantastic. The point is I can't stand lurkers who don't contribute. Just asking a bunch of questions like we caused your pain. We didn't, so don't bring that Facebook group mentality here. Either way, if you're here, and you want to stay here, you need to engage on ALL posts by liking and commenting to encourage people to share more. And read the Welcome post daily for critical updates. This is all hands on deck. Pull your weight or you will get kicked to the curb. If you're here to lurk and take by only asking questions without ever posting, sharing, or giving back, and you remain at Level 1 beyond two weeks, you're outta here, you will be removed. I am strict, so I'm monitoring for engagement of all Level 1 members. 👏 Quick Summary 1. Read the Welcome post daily 2. Like and comment on all posts 3. Level 1 members: Do NOT post questions 4. Lurkers who stay at Level 1 will be removed 5. No entitlement, no selfishness, no exceptions
