Can a judge in a civil case assign a temporary judge for a mandatory settlement conference, and can that temporary judge have a senior deputy district attorney contact you by email to coerce you into settling your case and not further pursuing your cross complaint under the threat that you will possibly face attempted murder charges filed against you if you don’t exercise your fifth amendment right to not incriminate yourself? Is this a violation of canon 3 a (4)?

I received a call from someone claiming to be from an agency updating me on changes to my home. They asked if I still owned my property in Clarksdale, and when I confirmed, they hung up. Should I be concerned about this call?

I had my engine replaced in my Jeep, and the manufacturer agreed to cover part of the cost but later severed contact after agreeing to a deductible. I filed a small claims case in Washington State against Stellantis, located in Detroit, Michigan. Should I have filed in Michigan or Washington State, and what is the ideal amount of documentation to present, considering I have 45 pages of detailed conversations and invoices?

I’m being accused of fraud by my old boss, who claims I obtained loans using the company's name and transferred funds to my personal account. They have reported this to the police, and I'm unsure if charges have been filed or if I will be contacted or arrested. What should I do?

I offered a horse for free to a girl via text message, but then rescinded the offer after hearing bad things about her. She claims she arranged transport. Does she have a legal claim to the horse?
