My mother, a U.S. citizen from California, passed away in South Korea. She was insured under my husband's health insurance but did not renew her alien registration. The insurance company is demanding $14,000 in medical bills. They stated that if I can find a choice of law in California or the U.S. that subjects me to South Korean debt laws, the South Korean judge might grant me a disclaimer of inheritance, exempting me from the bills. Can you help me find such a choice of law?

I was stopped by a police officer for driving with an invalid license and the court postponed the trial for three months. The judge gave me 5 options: 1) guilty without a license, 2) guilty with a license, 3) postpone for three months, 4) not guilty, and 5) an option I don't remember. I am a tourist with a valid license from my home country but my visa had expired. I passed the written exam for a California driver's license under AB-60 law. What should I choose when I go to court in three months with a valid California license? Should I say 'not guilty' and what happens if I do?

I went to San Mateo County traffic court to fight a false claim that I was on my cell phone while driving. The policeman changed the time on the ticket and perjured himself in court. I have phone records proving his claim is false. Can I write to the judge and copy the police department to present my evidence, and is perjury by a police officer a felony?
