WE ARE DEDICATED TO EXPOSING BAD JUDGES IN STATE AND MUNICIPAL COURTS


Our local court system is in crisis. Runaway juries that get it wrong, the impossibility of even scheduling hearings within a decent time frame, judges who refuse to recuse themselves when they should and an ignorant electorate that has no clue what is going on. We believe the first part of the problem with the courts is "bad judges". Judges who disregard judical conduct statutes, judges who don't care about being impartial and applying the law fairly and judges that are just incompetent in the knowledge of the law and in their management of their courts. We believe the second part of the problem is the ignorance of the American voter (and candidates running for judicial office that take advantage of that). Few Americans have any clue about judical races at election time. Its time for the American Voter to start holding all judges, at all court levels, accountable for their behavior! This website is not about political affiliation or political beliefs; this is about judges who are abusing their power, who have no regard for fairness or any code of judicial conduct, whose arrogance has become so overpowering in their view of themselves and what they do, they have forgotten who they serve. This website is about educating you, the electorate, about these bad judges and who they are.

WE NEED YOU TO HELP US! IF YOU HAVE WITNESSED BAD BEHAVIOR, INCOMPETENT BEHAVIOR OR UNABASHEDLY BIASED BEHAVIOR BY A JUDGE, TELL US HERE!




JUDICIAL HALL OF SHAME

AMERICANS FOR HONEST JUDGES EXPOSES JUDGES THAT ABUSE THEIR POWER AND VIOLATE THEIR RESPECTIVE STATE'S JUDICIAL CODE OF ETHICS!

JUDICIAL HALL OF SHAME MEMBERS:


1.  Tonya Parker, 116th District Court, Dallas Count1.  Carlos Cortez, 44th District Court, Dallas County, Texas.  We got a tip 2 years ago on this scumbag, essentially that his "rulings" in his court were being influenced by campaign contributions (in an argument before Cortez for a reversal of some evidentiary rulings, the attorney making the argument reminded Cortez, as part of his argument, that he had contributed to Cortez's election campaign....Cortez ruled in his favor).  Because the courts in Texas are exempt from the Texas Open Records Act, we could not document this tip.  This behavior is systematic and just another example of the 3rd World Court System now in place in Dallas County.  Stupid is as Stupid does.  Thankfully, this dirtbag has been defeated in the 2014 Democratic Primary, but he still is going to be a judge for several months, as of this writing.  Of course, The Dallas Morning News finally starts writing about this guy, a day late and a dollar short: DMN Cortez Article.  Carlos Cortez is the poster boy for judicial reform in Texas! Update: Cortez was defeated in his reelection bidy, Texas.  When does a judge forsake political activism for the integrity of her job?  In Tonya's case, never: Tonya Refuses  So, if you are a heterosexual, white male lawyer, do you think you are going to get unbiased treatment in this woman's court?  What if you are a white, male, heterosexual defendant in her court?  Just another example of the Third World court system in Dallas County.  It's time for judicial reform in Texas!

2. Jean Boyd, 323rd Family District Court, Tarrant County, Texas.  A teenager while driving drunk kills four people, and gets no jail time: Jean Boyd Messes Up  What happens to judges that take leave of their senses?  Why do wealthy people who can afford top notch lawyers do better in our legal system?  Is it such a bad idea to have a statutory requirement that a minor, who kills people in an auto accident where that minor was driving intoxicated, be required to serve some minimal jail sentence?  Jean Boyd is leaving the bench effective January, 2015 (and she needs to leave!).  We need judicial reform in Texas!
