You might need to reference it during your pursuit of justice.
For instance, you might need to examine one of these passages in order to protect yourself from organizations that have discriminated against you. Please stay vigilant, though, because you might encounter severe pitfalls along the way (see this example of a Florida judge who outright committed perjury).
Nevertheless – and as always – please get the justice you deserve.
