Public Committee on Attorney Conduct Asks Immediate Congressional Hearings into Actions of Federal Judges Blocking Series of Cases Against New York Bar Disciplinary Committee

(National PR Wire - August 24, 2008) | Industry and Country : Government | United States of America

New York, NY. Public Committee on Attorney Conduct (PCAC) has issued an immediate call for Congressional Hearings to review the concerted actions of federal District Court judges designed to shut down lawsuits charging New York Appellate Division Bar Disciplinary Committee with official corruption.
PCAC was recently established through the combined efforts of Litigation Recovery Trust (LRT), a New York based rights administration organization, and Integrity in the Courts, and Expose Corrupt Courts, two Internet blogs focused on judicial and attorney disciplinary processes and procedures. The objective of the new organization is to assist in replacing the existing New York State Attorney Grievance Committees with a body controlled by non-attorneys . The PCAC is headquartered in New York City.

PCAC has issued the following statement in response to the recent federal court actions :

Public Committee on Attorney Conduct (PCAC) requests that the United States Senate and House Judiciary Committees and the U.S. Judicial Conference undertake an immediate review of the actions of Federal District Court Judges Thomas P. Griesa and Shira Sheindlin in blocking a series of citizen lawsuits charging the New York State Bar Disciplinary Committee with official corruption. The series of court actions showed clear evidence of corruption of the Departmental Disciplinary Committee in covering up the criminal and ethical violations of attorneys by disregarding allegations ranging from concealment of evidence, obstruction of justice, sexual assault by attorneys, pilfering of estates by attorneys, abuse of power, conspiracy and repeated violations of Constitutional rights. The judges in question halted the series of citizen lawsuits without benefit of hearing, and in some cases without reviewing the plaintiffs’ pleadings.

PCAC asks the Senate and House Judiciary Committees to call immediate hearings to review the actions of federal judges in New York designed to frustrate citizen efforts to hold court officials to account for a continuing pattern of corruption and illegal activities.

PCAC represents the first bar review mechanism in the United States made up entirely of non-attorneys. Since news of the formation of the PCAC was first made public on June 17, 2008, individual complainants have begun submitting requests to the committee to review both past and current matters before the New York State grievance committees. Requests and documents are being received by PCAC at its email address: pcacinformation @gmail.com. Telephone inquiries can be directed to 347-632-9775.
