private reputation services

Found this: What is AttorneyBusters.com? AttorneyBusters.com was created as a vehicle to encourage attorney ethics and responsibility, and promote laws that would discourage attorneys from abusing special protected privileges. Attorney privileges must be preserved, but used with responsibility and for the proper purposes intended. The privilege should not be able to be used as a shield by the unethical attorney to avoid prosecution. At the point the privilege is abused, the person is no longer an attorney, and should not be afforded more protection from prosecution and liability than the ordinary citizen. AttorneyBusters.com is dedicated to exposing corruption of the American judicial system by attorneys and other judicial officers and members beginning at the level of Superior Courts and Municipal Courts and will endeavor to have offenders prosecuted. AttorneyBusters.com does this by: Providing a listing area for complaints against the State Bar of California or other Bar Associations. Posting your complaint against an attorney, judge, or other judicial officer on our website. Publicizing the website to focus public attention and awareness of the complaint. Providing a public complaint forum in contrast to the State Bar of California and other Bar Associations' private complaint process. Publishing a newsletter discussing various problems encountered with attorneys, judges, and other judicial officers. Interviewing and recruiting attorneys for individuals to retain for legal representation for litigation of matters against other attorneys when necessary. Discuss your complaint with you and have conversations with the attorney you are complaining about if possible. Providing consultation services discussing options you may not have considered concerning your complaint. Initiating investigations and litigations when necessary, and supporting those in process, that will expose the unethical acts of attorneys, judges, or other judicial members that misuse the court system. Enact change in laws for the protection of the public from unethical attorneys and other judicial members misconduct. Providing a library of CD's discussing actual cases of unethical attorney conduct, self help topics dealing with attorneys, litigation support, and stresses involved with litigation. Attorney Busters does not become involved in the review of criminal cases. http://www.attorneybusters.com/linkfromad.htm (this is commercial but I have no affiliation)

AR Politics
by John Young 10 Apr '01

10 Apr '01

Jim testified for himself during the afternoon, presenting as good a narrative as Jeff's. He's due to continue on Monday. Both Jim and Jeff made little use of exhibits, and an observer might think their testimony was scripted by a single writer: both had been well-rehearsed in acting style and voice direction to perform a single story with two views of the same events, both equally compelling or unbelievable depending on what a viewer wanted to see. The main difference is that Jeff has the backing of a luxurious justice system: the courthouse, the judge, the agents of several TLAs, guards, marshals, SEATAC, and much more. Jim has a roll of the dice with the jurors, all of whom are dressed and look more like Jim than the mani-uniformed officials (most better dressed than, say, like me). Jim has no witnesses, Judge Jack denied all requests, compared to a couple of dozen for the government. Most of Jim's request for discovery have been denied, while the gov gets all it asks for. Judge Jack denied Jim's request for access to his own notes use during his testimony. Jim has so far demonstrated that he is several grades of intelligence above that of his official tormentors. And far less prejudicial. So what if the show is scripted that way, that the hero is doomed to be condemned by the king's police, that is crowd-pleasing anti-revolutionary politics. And blood-quickening incendiary.

Jim Bell update: Jury to deliberate on Tuesday
by Declan McCullagh 10 Apr '01

10 Apr '01

I'm writing my article now, and you should check for it at Wired News tomorrow morning. In response to some queries, the highlights from today include: * Both government & defense rested at about 3:30 pm today; Judge ordered jurors to be back at 9:30 Tues for closing arguments and deliberations. * John Young and his companion did not show up on Monday, either to testify or as audience members. * Jim Bell testified under oath that he stole mail from Jeff "not an agent" Gordon's mailbox and threw it in the trash at a nearby McDonald's. * Bell accused his defense attorney of threatening his life. * Judge Tanner refused, in considering jury instructions, to allow Bell to assert a First Amendment defense for any of his actions. Details in Wired article tomorrow. -Declan

Request from JimBob to Cypherpunks
by Blanc 09 Apr '01

Jim's Bell's trial was not completed this Friday. He has requested that this message be posted to the list: He thinks the newsmedia has been boycotting his case, and says that it is utterly, absolutely, and completely important that these trashy rags start covering the story. He would like as many cpunks as possible to send emails to editpage(a)seattle-PI.com opinion(a)seattletimes.com editors(a)columbian.com letters(a)news.oregonian.com and tell them that they absolutely must be there at his trial this Monday; that extraordinary things will be revealed, and totally amazing things will be covered. Make of this what you will. .. Blanc
