The current economic crisis is an integrity crisis in its core.  Judicial corruption features prominently in it, as was the case a century ago, leading to the Great Depression.  Unless judicial corruption is addressed, socio-economic development is unlikely to be restored anytime soon…

just a few years ago, it was next to impossible to find any information regarding judicial corruption in the United States.  Over the past couple of years, the situation has dramatically changed. 

In the latest effort, William Windsor and others compiled a partial list of anti judicial corruption sites from across the United States, some with traffic statistics.  [1]

Some sites are dedicated to one judge, some to one court, state courts, US federal courts, civil courts, criminal courts, family courts, probate courts, juvenile courts…  Pick your favorites…

Like the Great Depression a century ago, the current economic crisis is an integrity crisis in its core… And just as was the case a century ago, judicial corruption features prominently in it.  A century ago, reform of the courts was an integral part of the efforts to end the Great Depression.  This time around as well, unless judicial corruption is addressed, socio-economic development is unlikely to be restored anytime soon…
