The problem with starting a new blog on a contentious subject, and this will be a contentious subject, is that the blogger needs to get a bit of a head start before allowing the wolves a chance at him. I initially did not notify anyone that the blog existed, although I did tell some that it would exist.
I am trying to change the legal system. An important part of this blog is education. I am not a lawyer, and there may be aspects of the law that I don't understand or flat out misunderstand. If I make a mistake, I want people to feel free to hammer me, though preferably not with a lawsuit.
If I make a factual error, I will be quick to admit it, apologize, and move the subject on. I consider myself a very ethical person, which is why what I see going on in the legal profession is so disgusting. I will try very hard not to make factual errors.
I have been critical of the local retention commission's judgment, but tried to praise their willingness to serve. Tonight I will be sending the chairperson an email asking that the members be alerted to the blog. I sent them an enormous amount of material. I tried to organize it so that it was understandable, but I may have failed. If they find that I am stating that they got something, and they think they didn't, or they didn't understand what they got, I want them to say so. I am probably a third of the way through the issues involving this judge's management of my litigation that the commission should have resolved before issuing a recommendation, but they will know that.
Unfortunately, I cannot, and will not extend the same courtesy to the judge.
If anyone with knowledge of my identity makes a post, I ask them to honor my request not to divulge it. I am having enough problems getting my lawsuit to trial that I don't want anyone trying to claim that I am trying to poison the jury pool.
As to the elections I would like to influence, the most important to me is Beauprez'. I have no interest in influencing the judge's retention election. The retention commission gave the judge high marks, and the public should act on them.
Thanks for visiting!
