Question Presented (from Petition)

1) How are people with disabilities supposed to access relief from abuses of discretion in legal system when their disability is not accommodated and lack equal access to judicial system? And the grievance mechanism is dysfunctional? How does a litigant with a disability obtain timely relief from abuse without equal access?

2) What does the United States Government have to assist people with disabilities access relief in the legal system when unable due to lack of equal access due to lack of disability accommodations and without representation?

3) How is the United States Government ensuring equal access to equal protection for litigants with disabilities when unaccommodated and need relief but unable to access relief because no equal access in judicial system as required per 14" Amendment? In order to stop abuse, exploitation, violations in or by the legal system requires litigants to have equal access and full participation but that's not accessible without disability accommodations. How to obtain timely redress without accommodations and Pro Se? No tolling and statutes expire when treated as nondisabled litigant. Children of people with disabilities suffer the same outcome of abuse and exploitation as their parents in family court. Irreparable harm to substantial rights as time passes without relief.

4) What are disabled litigants supposed to do and where are they supposed to go to stop abuse of the legal system by opposing parties and abuses of discretion in the legal system and obtain timely relief?

5) What oversight mechanism or independent "watchdog" exists to ensure human rights, constitutional rights and disability rights are effective and accessible, and if not, that relief is accessible to people with disabilities who are Pro Se?
