I was arrested for Public Intoxication (PI), but a local newspaper published my mug shot with the title 'Delivery driver found to be DUI' and 'see DUI page 4'. Since I was charged with PI and not DUI, is this considered slander, and can I sue the newspaper for this?

My son ordered a fake ID (marketed as a novelty) from a China-based company approximately two years ago. The ID was seized by customs in New York, and we now have received a letter asking about forfeiture. We do not want the ID and are unsure how to respond. We are also concerned about potential criminal actions resulting from this event, as the seizure occurred in New York and we live in Florida.

Am I correct in my opinion that my client is entitled to have his counsel present for the sworn statement taken by the internal affairs division, which is also the basis of the lawsuit in Federal court?

Can it be legally conceived as a defense that when a judge acted arbitrary and capricious in dismissing a case based upon one medically documented absence in which the plaintiff was compelled to a hearing, the judge abused his discretion?

In 2001, I signed a confession of judgment with a promissory note for a company I was parting with. The note is in default if any payment is past due and has an acceleration clause stating the entire amount is due upon default. The clause also waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand, and notice of every kind, and the right to plead any statute of limitations as a defense. The documents are bound by California law, and I understand that section 360.5 of the civil code prohibits indefinite waiver of the statute of limitations (SOL). Since the documents were executed in 2001, payments stopped in 2004, and there has been no acknowledgment of the debt or actions from the company, do I have a safe defense using the SOL?
