A 50-Year Career Lawyer Speaks Outwww.SouthDakotaJudicialAccountability.org South Dakota State Bar -- we're on to you! ______________________________________________________ A 50-Year Career Lawyer Speaks Out When a lawyer puts on a robe and takes the bench, he or she is called a judge. But in reality, when judges look down from the bench they are lawyers looking upon fellow members of their fraternity. In any other area of the free-enterprise system, this would be seen as a conflict of interest. By the time I ended my 50-year career as a trial attorney, judge and president of southern Arizona's largest law firm, I no longer had confidence in the legal fraternity I had participated in and, yes, profited from. --John F. Molloy (No wonder members of the Bar Association resort to telling lies to deceive the People about J.A.I.L. They don't want their cozy fraternity with judges destroyed!) http://www.ahrc.com/new/index.php/src/news/sub/article/action/ShowMedia/id/2126 Law loses its way I charged clients by what I was able to accomplish for them. The clock did not start ticking the minute they walked through the door. Looking back The legal profession has evolved dramatically during my 87
years. I am a second-generation lawyer from an Irish immigrant
family that settled in Yuma. My father, who passed the Bar with a
fifth-grade education, ended up arguing a case before the U.S.
Supreme Court during his career. I was the ultimate insider, but as I looked back, I felt I
had to write a book about serious issues in the legal profession
and the implications for clients and society as a whole. The
Fraternity: Lawyers and Judges in Collusion was 10 years in the
making and has become my call to action for legal reform. Yet judges create their own law in the judicial system based
on their own opinions and rulings. It's called case law, and it is
churned out daily through the rulings of judges. When a judge
hands down a ruling and that ruling survives appeal with the
next tier of judges, it then becomes case law, or legal precedent.
This now happens so consistently that we've become more subject to
the case rulings of judges rather than to laws made by the
lawmaking bodies outlined in our Constitution. When a lawyer takes an oath as a judge, it merely enhances the ruling class of lawyers and judges. First of all, in Maricopa and Pima counties, judges are not elected but nominated by committees of lawyers, along with concerned citizens. How can they be expected not to be beholden to those who elevated them to the bench? When they leave the bench, many return to large and
successful law firms that leverage their names and relationships. Today the skill and gamesmanship of lawyers, not the truth,
often determine the outcome of a case. And we lawyers love it. All
the tools are there to obscure and confound. The system's process
of discovery and the exclusionary rule often work to keep vital
information off-limits to jurors and This devolution of lawmaking by the judiciary has been
subtle, taking place incrementally over decades. But today, it's
engrained in our legal system, and few even question it. But the
result is clear. Individuals can no longer participate in the
legal system. It has become too complex and too By complicating the law, lawyers have achieved the ultimate
job security. Gone are the days when American courts functioned to
serve justice simply and swiftly. |
