I have a class action law suit. Attorneys have agreed to go to mediation. However, the employer's attorney is angry the judge did not allow an email into the case as evidence so he is intentionally delaying the settlment.

It is inappropriate for you to write the judge on a class action case in which you are represented by counsel. If you have a problem with the attorney(s) who are representing you, you must take that up with the lawyers yourself. Either that or retain another attorney to take up your representation...

It is NEVER proper to directly communicate with a judge by email or any other form of communication. You need to get an attorney involved before you really get yourself in trouble.
Good luck to you.

Overall, the answer is probably "no, your boss cannot go through your cell phone when you aren't looking," but whether his actions violated specific laws would require more information from you.

What if I could prove there were clones surrounding me 200,000 through a diabetes test

If a government agency causes or partially is the cause for a private company to go bankrupt because of an agency decision that breaks the law or is due to malfeasance by a public official, what recourse does the business have against the government agency or the official?
answered on Jan 2, 2019

Absolutely yes. Fixing the price of goods or services purchased by buyers is just as per se unlawful as price fixing among sellers.
answered on Jul 31, 2017
An antitrust issue might be present if there is an effect on competition. Sometimes, your cost of doing business justifies a price difference. A distributor who buys 100,000 units normally gets a lower price than a distributor who buys 10,000 units.
