through the web of personal and financial relationships of judges and other people involved in the judicial disposition of money. Consequently, the starting point of their investigation will be the publicly available bankruptcy petitions filed by bankrupts, such as those relating to the bankruptcy fraud scheme that constitutes a key component of the representative case of the class action. Their investigation will include digital and physical document search, interviews, and inspection of places in search of assets belonging to the bankruptcy fraud schemers. The journalists will also seek to determine what federal judges and any other persons knew and when they knew of the existence of a bankruptcy fraud scheme or of a pattern of other wrongdoing, such as real estate sweet deals, and how judges supported such wrongdoing.

12. The investigative journalists will have the crucial task of convincing the editors and assignment managers of the media with the largest audience to carry their reports and commit their own resources to pushing the investigation ever more deeply and widely, and to cover the firm’s own work. They will also work on identifying and vetting individuals of appropriate standing and with relevant skills, knowledge, and financial means that can overtly or anonymously join or support the firm to make a significant contribution to accomplishing its mission.
13. The evidence of coordinated judicial wrongdoing already posted and described in http://judicial-discipline-reform.org/docs/Tables_of_Exhibits.pdf, as well as the evidence produced by the investigative journalists will be reviewed by the virtual firm’s lawyers, who will select the most appropriate for restricted circulation or publication and for supporting the class action. They will work on the difficult legal issues, some of them novel, involved in preparing that action. Among them are those dealing with obtaining contact information of potential class members, such as judicial conduct complainants, and selecting them; certifying the class and its representatives; choosing the judges, judicial and administrative bodies, trustees, lawyers, law firms, and other persons to be named as defendants and preparing the charges against all or some of them under laws such as the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO); intentional denial of due process and judicial rights; dereliction of duty and third party beneficiaries of the oath of office; conflict of interests in judging peers, disqualification or change of venue; proper venue for claims against a branch of government; subpoenaing judges to be deposed, produce court and financial records, and testify; overcoming claims of judicial immunity, privilege, and confidentiality; conspiracy; standard of proof, and admissibility of corruption evidence against judges; liability and damages; etc. These and other tasks of firm lawyers and investigative journalists are described on the webpage “Tasks for Lawyers and Investigative Journalists”.
