We Have the Best Legal System Money Can Buy

The common citizen cannot afford to hire an attorney for representation in litigation.

The courts have both a systemic bias and personal judicial bias against the self-represented.

I am taking a case against debt buying goliath Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC to the Supreme Court of the United States to give SCOTUS the opportunity to discuss this bias.

Here are my questions, as a work in progress:

1) Whether the difference in treatment between pro se litigants and those who are represented by attorneys discriminates based on the distinction of property, as prohibited by the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article two.

2) Whether an appearance of bias by the court, whether systemic or personal, creates a fundamental denial of due process.

The purpose of this appeal to our highest court is to procure basic tools of due process for We, the People, that are extended now only to the moneyed elite. These include access to electronic filing; access to original recordings of hearings; and public disclosure of all but the most sensitive evidence on which disposition of a case is based, whether that be by trial or by summary judgment.

Also, we should be able to introduce evidence of a defendant’s practices that was collected by a civil investigation of a regulatory agency such as the CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) or in a prosecutorial action by an attorney general. Judge Lee P. Rudofsky and the Eighth Circuit judges do not find the discovery the public paid for to be relevant to an individual’s case. The courts expect anyone who wants justice to come up with hundreds of thousands of dollars up front to reproduce the same discovery as done with taxpayer dollars.

Ironically, the Rules of the Supreme Court require technical compliance with the formatting and number of copies of the petition for writ of certiorari and then the briefs that is cost prohibitive for most people, including me. I have an 803 FICO score, but only bring in about $640 per month revenue. I doubt I qualify for in forma pauperis status, because it seems like the court expects a person to take on debt to proceed in court, and I am debt adverse.

Please consider helping with expenses, formatting the booklet, especially the appendix that must include about 100 orders, or legal representation. (Earn your quill!)

About LauraLynnHammett

Regular people like you and I should have access to justice, even if we can't afford an attorney. Judges must stop their cronyism. Attorneys who use abusive tactics against pro se litigants should be disbarred. This site discusses some of the abuses by our legal professionals. It also gives media attention to cases that are fought and sometimes won by the self represented.
