Martin Dyckman on "A Most Disorderly Court"

Tell A Friend

Here's video of Martin A. Dyckman, former editor of the St. Petersburg Times, speaking to the Friends of the Tampa and Hillsborough Library about his new book "A Most Disorderly Court."  The book is about his reporting on a scandal involving case fixing in the Florida Supreme Court and the shake up in the court which followed.

He also talks about the problems caused by keeping complaints about judicial misconduct secret, about the need for reforms in our courts, and about the failure of the mainstream press to report on judicial misconduct.

This presentation is part of the Four Seasons Author Series sponsored by the Friends of the Library of Tampa and Hillsborough County. It was filmed at the University Club in Tampa, Florida in July of 2008.

For more information about this, see:

St. Petersburg Times Editorial "" Judicial Qualifications Commission
JQC Needs More Openness an editorial by Martin A. Dyckman criticizing the shroud of secrecy surrounding complaints about judicial misconduct and corruption.

St. Petersburg Times - Judicial Qualifications Commission JQC recommends public reprimand for appeal judge

For better coverage, see Law.com - Fla. Commission Recommends Reprimand for Judge Who Criticized Colleague in Opinion

Here's the JQC's Order reprimanding Appellate Judge Michael Allen for mentioning judicial misconduct.

Unfortunately, as Mr. Dyckman points out, secrecy and lack of press attention don't result in reform. They bring more corruption.

Here's a short video "Justice" in Florida's Supreme Court!?! With documents missing from its files and clerks signing orders without the approval of any justices much less than the number required according to Florida's Constitution, it's no wonder why those in the judicial reform community say, "There are those who believe in America's justice system and those who have experience with it."

If you want to know more about the bailout bill, what caused the crisis, who really benefits, and what the bailout bill will actually do, see Senate Bailout a.k.a. Bank Robbery Bill and Wondering Why We Are Bailing Out Those Banks? Could it be FRAUD!?!?! These articles contains links to the Miami Herald articles showing that (surprise, surprise) the Republicons and their Democrook enablers looked the other way while widespread mortgage fraud went unchecked. They also include comments showing why our government has become so corrupt. Could it be that they think that they are above the law since they have undermined a couple of our fundamental rights to control them?

I practiced law in Florida. In 2006, I represented Max Linn, the Reform Party candidate for Governor of Florida, in successful lawsuits brought against the media to require his inclusion in the Gubernatorial debates. I also represented John Russell, Clint Curtis, Frank Gonzalez, and others in contesting the official results of the 2006 elections in Florida state court and before the U.S. House of Representatives. I earned my BA in business administration with a major in finance and a minor in economics at the University of South Florida. I earned my law degree and my MBA at the University of Florida where I also worked as a teaching assistant in the Economics Department. I have been involved in the judicial reform movement since 2003, the media reform movement since 2004, and the election reform movement since 2006. Before those years, I believed that judges followed the law, that our media told us the truth, and that our votes were counted. Beliefs that most of us once held and that many still hold on to. Unfortunately, I learned that these beliefs were no longer true. However, I believe that we can counteract the forces which have destroyed these institutions if we face reality and take action before it is too late. Please remember that the American dream will die and our children will suffer if the people do not know what their government leaders are doing, if the people are not able to vote ineffective or corrupt leaders out of office, or if government actors can ignore the law and the facts with no repercussions!
