I suppose one coud say my logic in this domain is ruled by the letter of the law. More to the point, however, is that I'm waiting for you to make a logical argument supporting your contention that what occurred was a violation of the claimants' civil rights to due process.

I'm not saying it can't be done.

You have myself, and a practicing attorney (loquitur) in this thread. I can't vouch for anyone else's credentials.

Since you have voiced your desire to go to law school, this seems like a great opportunity to practice the skills you'll be asked to draw on there. If you use the judge's opinion as a template, you can see how to lay out a logical argument based on past cases.
