Mark G and Other Stuff

One of the projects that I have wanted to take on was an examination of the law practice of Mark G and use it as a model of the kinds of lawyers I want to get rid of.  I'm not providing his whole name because to do so would ruin a Google hook later.

You simply can't call a lawyer ethical who uses the courts to exhaust his opponents of time and money with no real expectation that he will win any of the arguments he presents.  A lawyer might be able to claim once that his tactics met the ethical requirements to bring good faith controversies to trial, but after three or four trips to court, it becomes obvious that the courts are being misused.

Face the State did a partial examination of Mark G this week, and I haven't had the chance to extend a link.  I'm fixing that now.

On a related subject, Ben DeGrow provided a link to another Sam Adams website that could be quite useful in examining what Mark G is doing in a legal ethics context.  The fact that this has become a tactic of the left across the nation adds weight to the charge that the lawsuits that Mark G is filing have an unethical purpose.

I hope that someone makes an ethics report on the man.  I know that nothing will happen, but one of the reforms that I hope to make is to require those who pretend to enforce the ethics rules and those who pretend to inform the public about the performance of individual judges be liable for actions not taken.

I think that the public will buy a very simple initiative that says that judges, regulators, and commissioners who fail to protect the public from unethical conduct by lawyers and judges may not claim the protection of sovereign immunity when they are sued.  While victims might not be able to sue the judges, they will be able to sue those who protect them.
