Hello again,

Thank you for the additional information.

Breach of contract and interference with contract are state law claims, so there would not typically be a US code to cite on a cover sheet with respect to such claims.

Because of the amount in controversy, one could cite 28 USC § 1332 in alleging that a federal court has diversity jurisdiction though if all the parties are located in different states.

Here is a link to that section of the US Code:

In Massachusetts, the right to counsel is afforded to children and their parents, custodians, or guardians in care and protection and related proceedings; persons in mental health proceedings, including civil commitment, medical treatment, sex offender registry, and sexually dangerous person cases; and elderly or disabled persons in care and protection. See Art. 12 of the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights; Marsden v. Commonwealth, 352 Mass. 564, 568 (1967); M.G.L. ch. 6 §§ 178L and 178M; M.G.L. ch. 123 §§ 5, 12(b), 35; M.G.L. ch. 123A §§ 13-14; M.G.L. ch. 201 §§ 6, 6A, 14(d); M.G.L. ch. 211D § 16; Rogers v. Commissioner of Dept. of Mental Health, 390 Mass. 489 (1983); Guardianship of Roe, 383 Mass. 415 (1981); Superintendent of Belchertown State Sch. v. Saikewicz, 373 Mass. 728 (1977); M.G.L. ch. 19A § 20; M.G.L ch. 19C § 7.
