Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION(S) PRESENTED L Can a state pass legislation that jeopardizes legal representation of a Wrongful Death or Medical Malpractice asserted claim that would otherwise be guaranteed to any U.S. citizen under the Equal Protections Clause found in Amendment XIV? If. Can a court appointed administrator or executor of the estate represent a Wrongful Death claim while acting “Pro se” if he or she is the only heir entitled to the estate, and then should a court be made to determine so case by case for who is the beneficiary as it is not known? fil. Where state legislation enacts a new law with considerable amounts of constitutional challenges present, is there an exception to an Unauthorized Practice of Law where it is “allowed” to preserve statute of limitations, if otherwise the same person who is statutorily allowed to prosecute a wrongful death action files suit? IV. Should a person be able to recover for Wrongful Death damages past the age of majority? V. When a clearly established constitutional right is recognized to be violated by the determination of such state supreme court by prior former case, and its citizen presents such a decision from a lower court to a court of appeals, should that verdict be reversed regardless of legal representation, and should it only be based upon a valid U.S. citizenship that everyone is protected by the Equal Protection Clause as well as those fundamentally “given” and non-disputable U.S. Constitutional rights? VI. If other U.S. States recognize a cause of action for recovery of wrongful death past the age of majority, should not all the states in their adoption of their own state constitution be included such right; especially whereas state age determinations defeat its purpose by undermining the relationship at any age as . one that is not “harmed” or “deprived of’: Loss of Companionship, Loss of Financial Support or even love itself? VII. Where a state’s statute does not specifically state otherwise to its designated beneficiaries and administrator of the estate, that one must obtain a lawyer to prosecute a Wrongful Death claim rather than a(n) administrator can prosecute a Wrongful Death action; should a s state statute be more precise and clear to even the common citizen? VIII. If all U.S. States were allowed to determine age distinctions for what is to be considered age of majority, then by so being associated, Wrongful Death would be a pleasure of those wrongdoers with no punishment. Should a state be excluded from making age CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE | and its citizen presents such a decision from a lower court to a court of appeals, should that verdict be reversed regardless of legal representation, and should it only be based upon a valid U.S. citizenship that everyone is protected by the Equal Protection Clause?
