True Justice from the new Dept of Justice?

By Frank Pasternak, Esq.

In a prior post, I explained how federal agencies can and have been used to strip Americans of legal rights. In Revival of Justice: What Obama's DoJ appointees should do first, Yale Law School's Judith Resnik sets forth some ideas for the new administration to revive true justice.

The highlights from my perspective are:

• Acknowledge that the courts are for all citizens;
• Stop government lawyers from cutting off access to courts for civil litigants;
• Don't use support "tort reform" laws ("reform" is really short for deform);
• Give consumers, employees and tort victims more access to court;
• Stop mandatory arbitration (see e.g. your credit card contract);
• Let consumers with tiny claims aggregate in classes so they can get lawyers; and
• Eliminate immunities for government officials and private contractors.
