To whom it may concern:
First of all, I appreciate the opportunity to respond to this new proposed rule. As it stands now in this once great nation, the legal system as a whole has virtually no real checks and balances anymore. It is the only branch of the three branches of government that directly interacts daily with commoners. It is the only branch that can severely and negatively impact everyday people—which is does regularly. Therefore, of the three branches, it is the one where real oversight is most crucial.
The fact that lawyers, judges, and other members of the legal system totally disregard rules of court, rules of professional conduct, the law, and the Constitution is appalling. They do this every day in every court in every state, and it is repulsive. [I have been involved in thirty-five-plus cases in more than two dozen courts in nine states. These matters have been presided over by more than 100 judges. Less than two handfuls of those lawyers in black gowns have not committed crimes against me. Lawyers who are not on the bench have no better track record.]
As it stands, there is essentially no true mechanism to hold these miscreants accountable nor punish them when they commit crimes or do other nefarious things. Oversight boards for lawyers and judges only take remedial action about 1 percent of the time when complaints are filed. Seriously, this number should be no lower than 10 to 20 percent. The reason this doesn’t happen, of course, is that the boards are composed of mostly lawyers and judges—the fox is in charge of the henhouse. The mere thought of further eroding the public’s confidence in the legal system by removing any records of wrongdoing by its members is astounding. To the contrary, not only should all records of censure remain in the public domain, but all complaints filed against lawyers—both on and off the bench—should also be public record!
Very Best Regards,
