I have been trying to figure out if I am eligible for disability benefits and what it would mean for me. I am diagnosed with epilepsy and I drive while on medication. If I were to receive disability benefits, would I still be able to drive, work, and go to college?

I was in a bathroom at a local bar and saw a man picking up a bag of cocaine from a paper dispenser in the stall. I mistakenly assumed he was a regular patron and reached out to see what he had, but he was actually an off-duty narcotic officer. They assumed the cocaine was mine or placed there for me. I denied this and cooperated by giving my ID and number. Three days later, the officer called and asked to meet in a nearby parking lot, where he offered me the choice to either take a possession charge or become an informant. I haven't been arrested or charged yet. Can they still charge me with possession, and would such a charge stick in court for a small amount of cocaine, especially since I was never read my rights or placed under arrest at the scene?

For litigants in person, can you guide on whether judges read the pleadings before hearing a matter? Is there a sufficient time or a time limit for making oral submissions when the matter comes up for hearing? Are there any guidelines for judges to read the pleadings and written submissions, especially in cases where one party is a litigant in person and the opposing counsel is making false oral submissions before the court?
