Americans For Legal Reform News Letter
All the legal news NEWSDAY is afraid to print & the Bar is afraid to admit!!!
No one has ever
denied anything we have said in these newsletters because we print the truth.
Why are many newspapers afraid to print these stories???
We would like
to thank now Judge Ira Rabb for mentioning this group at his inauguration.
We would like to see someone of his caliber replace the good old boys
who
currently run the legal system in Nassau & Suffolk Counties.

If you haven't read "Nothing But The Truth" by Law Professor, Steven Lubet, Esq., don't bother, he advocates that lawyers are allowed to lie. Most do anyway!!! We know we are doing a good job when the lawyers threaten our well being, sue us and damage our property. ... Believe this: Howard Packman, head of the Ethics Committee, and a member of the prestigious firm Packman, Packman Brown & Farnetti is trying to take a 94 year old womans money, $40,000, (Florence DeHaan Index No. 94-22501) with forged documents!!! Mr. Leonard Shore, their attorney,
pretends he didn't know. He does now!!! And that people makes him a co-conspirator. When the town of North Hempstead seized a church building site as part of urban renewal, a member of the town zoning board said "we have enough churches here". The town is paying $80,000 for a property that the church paid $130.000. For information contact Richard Cooper 516-746-5769. Please Help!!! The nation does not enjoy constitutional government
because the legal profession unconstitutionally controls all government.
Such control by any group is a violation of the principle of separation
of powers of the constitution.
BE SURE TO VOTE BUT NOT FOR LAWYERS!!! |

Do you know why lawyers are able to over charge the public??? One reason is they know that you are lazy. They have figured out that most people hire a lawyer and never read the retainer agreement until there is a problem!!! According to American Tort Reform Foundations' website www.triallawyermoney.org a personal injury lawyer W. Umphrey contributed $906,000 to political candidates including $644,000 to the Democratic party contingent upon Clinton & Gores Veto of tort reform legislation. |

Many judges have been on wrong side of bench
But if history is any indication, Ohio Supreme Court Justice Alice Robie Resnick will keep her job and emerge politically unscathed, regardless of the outcome of her case in criminal court.
Even though Franklin County Common Pleas Court Judge John A. Connor has three DUI convictions on his record, voters last fall let him keep his robe for another six years. Last year, a state board that reviews judicial conduct punished Judge Connor with a six-month stayed suspension from the bench - meaning he could continue serving if he followed guidelines of his rehabilitation program.
The punishment came the same year Judge Connor pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor DUI charge in Palm Beach County, Fla., and was sentenced to one-year probation and 10 days in jail with credit for time spent in an alcohol abuse program.
He did not face disciplinary action after a 2000 DUI conviction in Bexley, Ohio, but the criminal courts revoked his license, issued a fine, and ordered him to seek treatment. In 1985, he was publicly reprimanded after he was arrested for DUI and later convicted of permitting drug abuse and reckless operation.
Municipal court judges are far more likely to hear thousands of drunken driving cases, but few have found themselves facing the charge. In 1994, Franklin County Municipal Court Judge Bruce Jenkins was reportedly arrested for drunken driving.
Mr. Jenkins, who retired from the bench in 2003, received a suspended sentence and probation, paid fines, and was ordered to take an alcohol education class, according to published reports at the time.
Ohio Supreme Court's Disciplinary Counsel Jonathan Coughlan said instances where judges become entangled in the legal system because of drunken driving occur only "once in a great while."
In 1979, Ohio Supreme Court Justice William B. Brown was arrested for drunken driving near his home in Chillicothe after his state-owned car rear-ended a vehicle. Even though a police officer at the time said Mr. Brown "swayed like a rocking chair" and the judge admitted he had two drinks, a jury found him innocent.
Twice in the mid-1980s, U.S. District Court Judge Nicholas J. Walinski of Toledo, was convicted on drunken driving charges. Despite the convictions, he did not leave the bench.
In January, 1984, he was sentenced to three days in the Toledo House of Correction, fined $300, and had his license revoked for 60 days. The judge pleaded no contest to a DUI and running a red light about 15 months later, and he was ordered to complete a 28-day rehabilitation program, fined $400, and had his driver's license suspended for five years.
Outside of Ohio, Washington State Supreme Court Justice Bobbe Bridge was cited for drunken driving and trying to leave the scene of an accident in 2003. The judge apologized and the hit-and-run charge was dismissed while she received deferred prosecution on the drunken driving charge.
Washington's Commission on Judicial Conduct reprimanded Judge Bridge, while ordering her to follow the court's rules on her sentence, and make public presentations on her crime.
These cases provide an opportunity for advocates to seek reform and stronger penalties for drunken driving, said Tilde Bricker, state victim services specialist for Ohio's Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
"It's a crime that cuts across the board - people of all ages, all walks of life," Ms. Bricker said.

American's for Legal Reform has had a public access cable program (Channel 71): "Legal Reform Issues" for several years now.
We have brought judges, lawyers and victims to discuss important matters that are rarely, if ever, shown on commercial media. If you have been part of the program or watched it, you know it is a valuable program.
Cable Vision is now requiring that a new contract be signed which is unconscionable!!! We urge you to support our efforts to get Cable Vision to promote public access TV instead of destroying it. ...
If you have an e-mail address, please contact me and I'll send more information. We don't need money; we need your help.

WHO NEEDS LAWYERS???
Fed up with attorneys and their fees, people are taking the law into their own hands and fumbling!!!
By Amanda Riply Orlando ( TIME June 12th, 2000 )
Despite the axiom that anyone who represents himself in court has a fool for a client, self-representation is booming--especially in family court. ...Most people who file pro-se, ( Latin for "in ones own behalf" ) do so because they can't afford a lawyer and the rest just don't want one. They think it's kind of cool to say "I don't need a stupid lawyer". TheLaw.com may embolden people by demystifying the courthouse. And anti-lawyer sentiment remains as potent as ever. "This is an era of do-it-yourself", says Kathleen Sampson of the American Judicature Society, an organization of judges and lawyers. "It's The Home Depot approach". ... To truly open the courthouse to people who can't afford a lawyer, proponents say, courts must simplify and standardize legal forms across jurisdictions and more lawyers should "unbundle" their services-offering limited advice for lower fees. For now even in Florida whose courts are more open than most, the protocols still overwhelm people.
