A federally appointed judge set me up to fail by ordering a 2023 appraisal, ordering that I spend months on legal arguments and applications to support this appraisal and then casually declaring that he mis-spoke. All this to ridicule me as a self-represented litigant.

The top judge in Oregon’s Court of Appeals on Wednesday warned of “rapidly escalating” legal filings that likely contain fake information created by artificial intelligence.

🇨🇦 If self-represented litigants like me can't safely rely on court transcripts of orders and lawyers are able alter aspects of judicial orders at will to benefit their clients, the #BCCourt system can no longer be depended on to support justice.

🇨🇦 In Prince George,BC, when self-represented litigants are up against lawyers, if the lawyer doesn't like the judge's orders, the lawyer can make up and file alternative versions favoring their clients and there is little that the #SelfRepresented can do about it.
