How do I apply for relief from a drunk-driving license revocation?

Hello. A while ago, I drove drunk and my license was revoked. The problem is that since I make my living doing delivery work, if I cannot drive, I cannot work at all. If I drive in this state, it becomes driving without a license, so I cannot drive either, and I am going out of my mind. In a case like mine, is relief from a drunk-driving license revocation also possible?

Are there cases where even a person who is not a soldier is subject to the Military Criminal Act?

Hello. I am a student studying with the goal of becoming a military civilian employee. A question arose while studying, so I am asking. Is punishment under the Military Criminal Act imposed only on soldiers? Even if military civilian employees who work in the military are included, under what law are people such as military academy students punished? And people in the reserve forces are civilians, so can such people also be punished under the Military Criminal Act?

Unfair dismissal, how do I file a lawsuit?

Hello. I am an office worker at a company. Until a few days ago they said nothing, and then suddenly, saying the company's situation is bad, they told me not to come to work from next week. I understand the company received a large order not long ago, so how can they say business has deteriorated? Feeling that this was so unfair, I looked for a way and learned that there is such a thing as an unfair dismissal lawsuit. I too would like to prepare an unfair dismissal lawsuit, so could you tell me how to go about it?

My intellectual property rights have been infringed, and I want to file a lawsuit.

Hello, I run a small business. The person I was in partnership with left, so now I run it alone.

I did not know I was a voice phishing courier. Will I be punished?

I did not have sexual intercourse; will I still be punished for prostitution involving a minor?

I truly did not know that the person was a minor. I am also facing a police investigation, so I am in a difficult situation.
