A searing exposé and report card on the condition of our American court system a half century after a national corporate take-over by judges. This wide-ranging sociological, religious, and legal study by an experienced law writer looks at the history and politics behind the new and secret American court agenda where judges function under hidden power to declare what is ultimate law. A dangerous development using usurped power from the other branches of government, this seismic change in national institutional character has a profound impact on the delivery of justice by insider professionals. How courts launder internal abuse and corruption, using systemic discrimination (especially against pro se and poor-er classes,) is an eye-opening, shocking encounter about the soft underbelly of our modern American legal system. As former lawyers and founder of the Ex-Wives of Judges Club, the author explains the hidden nuances and cronyism so rampant in almost every American court. She explains (using true case details with legal citations,) hundreds of common crony bench tricks used to avoid the Rule of Law to provide either favorable or punitive case outcomes. This book is a long overdue analytical commentary and look at the hidden motivators for judges to misuse authority, abandon ethics, and influence outcomes. Taught as the textbook for an online class, it is also a call for reform, and a scholarly argument about the challenge of personal ethics and the higher role of God and traditional morality in courts. The author writes, "it is not my goal to write for the ruling class, but for the 99.997% of the 322,267,564 Americans who are NOT judges or lawyers. Entertaining, factual, sobering, it is a comprehensive reliable course in Dark Law 101.
