"Justice? was fired for stealing" when you quit is a lie and you can take legal action if the statement is broadcast to others and you suffer damages as a result.
"Justice? was a poor manager. I was unhappy with her performance" is a differing opinion. Even if you disagree and can provide umpty-dozen other people who agree that your performance was excellent, if the person who spoke WAS unhappy with your performance, that does not give you legal recourse even if you do not get a job because of it.
Unless you were fired BECAUSE OF your race, religion, national origin and so on, or BECAUSE you applied for or utilized a benefit protected under the law, firing you was not illegal.
Nothing in the law requires a past employer to say that they would rehire you. Please read my response to to you on this subject in another thread.

RE cbg: "If what was said is a LIE as opposed to a differing opinion, there is recourse."
What is the recourse, and how do I go about getting it?
RE cbg: "....you can take legal action if the statement is broadcast to others and you suffer damages as a result."
What kind of legal action?
Broadcast to whom?
What constitutes damages?
Thanks
