In the United States, mistrust and feelings of rampant corruption were mostly placed on the country’s political parties and the legislative system. A particularly harsh presidential race last year, the powerful emergence of the so-called Super PACS and a number of recent scandals surrounding the administration of President Barack Obama have been cited as the main reasons that 76% of those polled found political parties corrupt. About 61% said they believed there is rampant corruption in Congress and the White House.

U.K. Supremes dish on judicial corruption - The FCPA Blog - The FCPA Blog
One section of Lord Hope’s judgment is worth quoting in full:
…where allegations of corruption are widespread they must be taken seriously. So too must an appreciation of what corruption may lead to when it affects the whole system. It may involve simple bribery of judges and court officials, or it may involve interference with the judicial system for political reasons of a much more insidious kind. Unjust convictions may result, just to keep the system going and keep prices up. Everyone whose case comes before the courts of that country where practices of that kind are widespread is at risk of suffering an injustice. Those who are familiar with the system may know how much they need to pay, or what they have to do, to obtain a favourable decision but be quite unable to come up with what is needed to achieve that. Those who are not familiar with it will be at an even greater disadvantage...The stark fact is that systemic corruption in a judicial system affects everyone who is subjected to it. No tribunal that operates within it can be relied upon to be independent and impartial. It is impossible to say that any individual who is returned to such a system will receive that most fundamental of all the rights provided for by article 6 of the Convention, which is the right to a fair trial.- See more at: http://www.fcpablog.com/blog/2013/7/13/uk-supremes-dish-on-judicial-corruption.html#sthash.YySOJaRv.dpuf

Group Continues Cause Against Alleged Judicial Corruption | Sun Patriot | Carver County Corruption
The need for judicial reform is dire. Judges have NO incentive to learn the tools of their trade — because they cannot be held accountable for wrongdoing, for not properly carrying out their job even if the wrongdoing is KNOWING or even of it is a result of NEGLIGENCE. As a result, judges decide whatever they want according to their whim. In the best case they have good intentions but are ignorant–they don’t know or understand the laws, and they don’t know or understand the facts (because they don’t have backgrounds in mental health and can’t understand that one party may in fact be mentally ill, that one party may in fact be at fault while the other is a victim. They foolishly believe it takes two to tango–not understanding that when mental illness is involved, the victim has done nothing other than marry the wrong person (often unknowingly) and in any event, the perpetrator should never ever be allowed to be abusive (physically or emotionally)–that’s a choice the perpetrator makes and it’s wrong. With no appropriate skills to make the right decisions, things go awry. That’s the best case. The worst case is judges taking bribes (and if you don’t believe it, google judge Blakely) and judges acting out their biases, jealousies or childhood issues. And they can — they have the power of the gavel to issue any order they want, even if the order is illegal–because if someone doesn’t follow the order, they risk that judge punishing them–putting them in jail, ruining their career, ordering their assets liquidated…

Massachusetts Judiciary exemption from public records law. A predominant democratic State = Corruption.
Judiciary exemption from public records law protects probation misconduct
Like the Legislature, the Massachusetts judiciary is exempt from public records laws. It’s a weakness that took center stage when a massive patronage scandal in the state Probation Department was revealed in 2010. The pay-to-play scheme remained well hidden; then Probation Commissioner John O’Brien did not have to release recommendations for jobs or candidate’s test scores so was allegedly able to hire friends and relatives of favored legislators, who voted on his budget, with impunity. Though the Probation Department falls under the state judicial branch, it provided little to no oversight.

McBride was disbarred in 2005 as a result of his handling of three separate cases, including one in which he was accused of charging an excessive fee to handle a forfeiture case; another in which he mislead a group of clients about the status of settlement funds, which he had taken for his own use; and a third in which he accepted a fee from a client but then failed to work on his case, leaving the man to serve additional jail time that was later determined to be in error.

Why local,state, and federal law enforcement does not prosecute elder abuse by lawyers ?
Please provide your comments and we will research this topic.
It appears due to the baby boom now coming of age and the federal government concerned with entitlements the elderly and there families will finally have some attention,
states all over this country have had many years with redistributing the assets of the innocent all played out in probate and family court promoted with the legislature providing the tools endorsed and facilitated by the bar association and there army of lawyers and others, critical thinking is in order relative to the tools provided to guardians, conservators, receivers, power of attorney, restraining orders etc for what seem feels and appears might not be the truth?
