Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org is an organization that aims to bring together all the entities and individuals that are separately working toward accomplishing what constitutes in fact a common mission, namely, to ensure integrity in our federal and state courts. By focusing their efforts and combining their resources they can pursue it much more effectively than up to now. To that end, JDR put forward the “Programmatic Proposal to Unite Entities and Individuals to Use Their Resources Effectively in Our Common Mission to Ensure the Integrity of Our Courts by Engaging in Specific Activities and Achieving Concrete Objectives”. (http://judicial-discipline-reform.org/docs/Programmatic_Proposal.pdf)

The Programmatic Proposal intends to accomplish that mission by achieving three realistic and progressively attainable objectives through a program of specific, manageable activities. To begin with, it seeks to form a virtual firm on the Internet of investigative journalists and lawyers that will find evidence of coordinated wrongdoing by judges and expose it on the Internet and the traditional media. Having made both the public aware of such wrongdoing and the media cover it, a class action will be brought against judges engaged in it. A public outraged by the exposure in the media and through the class action should lead to the attainment of the second objective of causing the FBI, the Department of Justice, Congress, and their state counterparts to investigate coordinated wrongdoing in the judiciaries. Thirdly, an outraged public should force lawmakers to pass laws for the creation of bodies external to the judiciaries to take effective action on complaints against judges and make judges accountable for the use of public funds.

Coordinated wrongdoing by judges, whether in the federal or the state jurisdiction, substantially impairs the integrity of the judiciaries. It may manifest itself in different areas of the law, including probate, taxation, partition of marital assets, child support and visitation rights, bankruptcy, etc. (cf. http://Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org/docs/Statement_of_Facts_Table_of_Cases.pdf) What is common to, and at the origin of, any form of such wrongdoing is that a judge that engages in wrongdoing in one area of the law and gets away with it because the other judges will not discipline him, will be more likely to do wrong in all areas of his work and in the process, set the example for other judges to follow. This triggers a trend that is likely to degenerate into coordinated wrongdoing until organized corruption festers. Judges can engage in it by immunizing themselves from prosecution through their systematic dismissal of complaints against their conduct. This explains how in the 217 years since the U.S. Constitution of 1789, only 7 federal judges have been impeached and convicted.
