You Can Sue the Opposing Attorney-Example in Pennsylvania


In some states you can -and Pennsylvania is one of those States. There are various "causes of actions" that you can use to sue the opposing party's attorney-which will defeat their defense of protection - "absolute privity" or "immunity.''  Although you may also have to file a Motion for Change of  Venue to avoid the massive prejudice you will face as a pro se litigant trying to defeat the county bar association. I will also be posting an example of that type of Motion.

THE PRO BONO MYTH


THE MYSTERY OF THE PRO BONO MYTH
The biggest problem litigants often have is Pro Se (representing oneself) discrimination.  We often hear that people lose their homes and life savings from lawsuits.  The illusion here is that one party in a lawsuit loses, and has to pay the other party.   The fact is that people are financially devastated from attorney’s fees- not from the opposing parties.  Without a lawyer, no matter how skilled you are at writing and research, you will be victimized by unavoidable bias and collusion.  This is inevitable in a system that allows judges to serve in courts where they have already worked for decades.

Why Judicial Merit Selection Will Not Work



The merit selection is definitely NOT the answer to ending judicial corruption and ensuring impartial tribunals.  Merit selection will not stop backroom deals and other favors to get on the bench. The only thing that will rescue the justice system in Pennsylvania, from the clutches of the organized crime family that controls it today- is intense oversight in every county. 

Ombudsman or civilian advocates, paralegals or other trained individuals who have NO AFFILIATION with the local bar associations,  must be given the power to carry out the control over the rogue judges that are wreaking hovoc on innocent victims- especially in the realm of the family court system.  Racketeering by judges and attorneys, in places like the Montgomery County, Delaware County and Allegheny Courts of Common Pleas, supported by their brethren in the Appellate level- has run rampant and unchecked for years.  Having their buddies in the General Assembly put them in office will only make political favors even more lucrative.

 Mechanisms that will alleviate the massive fraud and theft now being perpetrated  at the county level- would be limiting all divorces to 12 to 18  months- and any case that gets protracted longer than that would trigger an automatic review by the oversight committee- who should be given the power to impose monetary fines both the judges and the lawyers for extorting funds from vulernable litigants. These fines  should go to the litigants who have had  assets extorted from them by these common methods now being used by lawfirms, and facilitated by the judges that they put on the bench.  Here are some more no brainers:
