One of...ONE OF THE WORST EXPERIENCES YOU CAN HAVE<br /><br /><br />One of the worst experiences you can have is to be reminded unexpectedly of a personal tragedy. This just happened to me.<br /><br />I opened a file draw and inadvertently pulled out a “Congratulations” letter from the clerk of a Federal District Court in Louisiana, welcoming me, as a new officer of the court. <br /><br /><br />I remember the sense of elation and anticipation I felt when I first received this item, years ago.<br /><br />That was before I discovered that the Canons of Judicial Ethics mean nothing, and the Judicial Complaint Rules mean less than nothing.<br /><br />I no longer have a law license. <br /><br />My three licenses were suspended after I filed a confidential complaint of misconduct against a federal district judge, who publicized my name as the lawyer, who had filed a confidential complaint of misconduct against him. <br /><br />This maneuver by the judge of course destroyed my effectiveness in either litigating or settling the matter at hand.<br /><br />More than two years later, I was prosecuted by the Louisiana Disciplinary Counsel for having brought the confidential complaint against the federal judge. <br /><br />I was prosecuted successfully, of course; both of the lawyers on the three-person committee who adjudicated the complaint against me, were members of the lawyer organization who had gifted the judge. (This was one of several of my complaints about this judge – that he took gifts and did favors for his lawyer pals.)<br /><br />The lawyers who found me guilty of misconduct of course knew what I should have known:<br /><br />If you expect a judicial complaint to be taken seriously, you live in a world of illusion and delusion.<br /><br />The attorneys who found me to be unethical for complaining about an unethical judge, practice before the very judge about whom I had complained. They knew there was no actual issue to be decided when it came to either punishing an officer of the federal courts for fling a truthful complaint about a judge versus stating, candidly and honestly, that the judge had done what I said he had done. <br /><br />I discovered, at the cost of my law licenses, in three states (Louisiana, Hawaii, Maryland), that no one associated with the legal system is going to criticize a federal district judge for flouting the judicial complaint rules. Why not? Those rules are not enforced by the Circuit Judges who are theoretically supposed to supervise the conduct of the judges below. The Circuit Judges set the tone and it is a very low tone.<br /><br />I was reminded of all this when I opened that file and found my “congratulations” letter together with my certificate of admission. I won’t be needing these items any more and don’t need to be surprised by them again. I put them in another file – a round one. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />http://rbc-in-md.blogspot.com/2010/11/one-of-worst-experiences-you-can-have.htmlRICHARD BALDWIN COOKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01481621550903107972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4467242822928099777.post-45595420894917158432010-12-02T08:45:36.635-05:002010-12-02T08:45:36.635-05:00EXPOSE HONEST LAWYERS AND JUDGES WHAT AN EXCELLENT...EXPOSE HONEST LAWYERS AND JUDGES WHAT AN EXCELLENT IDEA, except one thing once you've been exposed to a corrupt one, it is the most difficult task ever getting Justice after that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4467242822928099777.post-42120077252299852332010-12-02T06:28:14.293-05:002010-12-02T06:28:14.293-05:00LOL@1:48 PM

Power corrupts; money corrupts. Show me the good appellate judge who called out an evil judge? A good judge who does nothing is good for nothing.<br /> Diogenes couldn't stand the stench at the courthouse.

Nice job, a lot of prestige, and everybody kisses your butt.<br /><br />I have an old friend that sought and received a federal judgeship. He is very bright and a credit to the Bench. He got married later in life and had new responsibilites to his new family. He resigned to go out into the private sector. He brings in at least a couple of million a year.<br /><br />Another 100 or 200 thousand a year would not have made a difference.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4467242822928099777.post-37852981167897004852010-12-01T15:23:04.624-05:002010-12-01T15:23:04.624-05:00'DOUBLE THE SALARY FOR JUSTICE ARTHUR SCHACK. ...'DOUBLE THE SALARY FOR JUSTICE ARTHUR SCHACK.

On Law Day; 2010 C...THE MYTH OF JUDICIAL INTEGRITY<br /><br />On Law Day; 2010 Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman spoke to an audience comprised mostly of legal practitioners, asserting that judicial salaries must be raised “for the societal value of the work they perform and their incredible dedication to the rule of law and the well-being of the citizens of New York. He said ‘judges are confronting ever burgeoning dockets with cases more complex and demanding and an escalating number of litigants appearing without counsel. <br /><br />He further lamented ‘New Yorkers' ability to live the American dream is in question, that more than ever the Judiciary plays a unique and critical role in holding together the fabric of society and our way of life, fostering the rule of law, protecting individual liberties, and meeting the constitutional mandate to provide Equal Justice for all.<br /><br />HOW MANY BELIEVE ANY OF THIS IS TRUE?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4467242822928099777.post-26084892422747110262010-12-01T15:14:10.328-05:002010-12-01T15:14:10.328-05:00What a joke.

They already know that by continuing to do what they have been doing, they are not getting what they want, so if their so smart, why don't they try something different, like being honest?<br /><br />They may be surprised at how that would go over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4467242822928099777.post-44639347849634047272010-12-01T13:48:35.601-05:002010-12-01T13:48:35.601-05:00Why not EXPOSE HONEST JUDGES.
