Suggested Actions and Recommendations

""I want to again thank this Committee that has so graciously invited me to speak today at this Judiciary Committee Hearing, the importance of ridding the New York Courts of a Criminal Enterprise Cloaked as Law Firms, infiltrating Disciplinary Departments, State Bar Agencies, the Courts and more is at the heart of this Committees function when self-regulation is broken and/or non-existent as appears the current case.

Lawmakers acting as Lawbreakers can commit virtually any crime, trained as attorneys in virtually all of these complex crimes, they know how to beat the system, learned from the criminals they represent and therefore these crimes committed by our trusted Public Officials, Lawyers, Law Firms and Regulators are the most insipid crimes against the People, crimes that prey on the public trust and in the end can cause more damage than any simple criminal or even criminal enterprise.

Unlike typical criminals their legal degrees can also be used to block due process if they are caught in their crimes, in a number of ways this Committee must SHUT DOWN.

This whole debacle reminds me of my Chicago childhood and Operation Greylord16 in Chicago which exposed a similar corruption for drug profits and more that used the courts, members of the courts, politicians and law enforcement to effectuate crimes committed by a criminal organization that infiltrated deep within Illinois’ government and victimized thousands of Chicago’s citizens.

The sting operation brought down some of Illinois most powerful and respected individuals, I quote Wikipedia, “Ninety-two people were indicted, including 17 judges, 48 lawyers, ten deputy sheriffs, eight policemen, eight court officials, and a member of the Illinois Legislature. Operation Greylord was named after the wigs worn by judges in Britain.”

This type of Federal Operation is what the Feds ( why Anderson and others have demanded a Federal Monitor for the New York Courts ) must do now in order to restore order, many in New York comparing the current Corruption to Tammany Hall under William M. "Boss" Tweed.

The Committee has asked those testifying to make representations to this Committee on how to change the corruption we see and I have several critical suggestions that could solve the problem overnight.

Immediately disband and destroy the Commission on Judicial Conduct and Disciplinary Committees in the 4 Appellate Division Departments as currently designed.
Then make all violations of Judicial Cannons, Attorney Conduct Codes and Public Office Rules and Regulations simply violations of law.

Either Felony or Misdemeanor depending on the severity of the violation committed.

Then have the allegations investigated publically, like any other person who is accused of a crime, as no one is above the law or deserved of special treatment under our Constitution and through the courts they will be either tried and convicted or vindicated of their alleged crimes. Justices and Attorney should be no different than any other person, as it is THEIR MOTTO that “no one is above the law”, thus why create these codes outside of the law.

Then get some Pipe Hitting Prosecutors specialized in law enforcement for violations of law committed by Judges, Lawyers, Law Firms and Public Servants, prosecutors who perhaps hate lawyers from messy divorces or the likes, to prosecute them through well established law and the rules regulating their profession.

No special committees of lawyers regulating or reviewing lawyers, etc. Simply then turn the state bar associations into drinking establishments, which it appears they already are for corrupt lawyers.

Then triple the sentences imposed for those convicted, as they were crimes against the public trust. Violations of public trust are the most insipid and devastating crimes often affecting thousands of people before the corruption is discovered. Just look at the public office corruption recently involving lawyers.

First, we have lawyers that committed alleged War Crimes by creating torture memos who will most likely stand for War Crime Tribunals eventually. Then we have lawyers that have been involved in the regulatory agencies failures that were supposed to be protecting the financial markets, where we find regulators have been looking the other way while the crimes occurred that bankrupted our nation and then taking law firm jobs even when leaving in the midst of scandals they are involved in.

Behind every Madoff, behind every bad derivative and financial scheme that sunk our country and the future of our children in outrageous debt, are lawyers. As Shakespeare once claimed, albeit it is out of context yet fitting for these circumstances, "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers" in King Henry VI- Part 2, Act IV, Scene II. This too will set good example for future lawyers thinking of committing crimes against the Public Trust as if they were above the law, when really just living in delusions of grandeur for the moment.

If the verdict is hang’em high outside the court, hang them thrice. Nooses free @ http://www.iviewit.tv/ .

This Committee should instantly Join in actions seeking a Federal Monitor and Federal Special Prosecutor or State Special Prosecutor.

Change the nature of Disciplinary Hearings to Compel Judges and Disciplinary Committee members to Testify; Refer disciplinary matters to Assembly Committees for Impeachment proceedings.

Continue legislative hearings seeking solutions but immediately change the current system of attorneys regulating attorney, to non-attorney investigators prosecuting the allegations.
Determine if NYS Comptroller and Courts are aware of and have Booked and Disclosed the Liabilities of ALL of the Lawsuits related to Anderson and Notified Liability Carriers or any/all parties that may have liabilities;

I thank you for your time and consideration in this matter and please do not hesitate to contact me in the future.

Respectfully Yours,

Eliot Ivan Bernstein"
