  1. I have the below questions to COLORADO JUDICIAL OFFICIALS at IAALS, Ingrid Bakke and 20th Judicial District, State Court Administrator Office, CBA and BCBA The embarrassing thing is that I even have to ask these questions; but even more embarrassing is none of these judicial authorities will have the integrity to answer them, pointing to the fundamental problem with the judiciary; it is staffed by lawyers. Imagine if judges were chosen from a pool of people whose livelihood would go out of business if they refused to answer client questions and took months to complete jobs that could be done in an hour. We would have something unrecognizable from the present system if judges were picked from a field of plumbers, electricians, and auto mechanics. As one example in the recent King Soopers case; after 3 hours of presenting evidence, the judge would say 'that is enough, give us your closing argument, it is undisputed who the killer is and what he did. I am not going to let you spend days proving something that it already known by everyone in the courtroom'. Instead, we have a week or more of testimony with over 100 motions; any plumbing company with that level of inefficiency would quickly go out of business. Now to my PENDING QUESTIONS: TO IAALS: Does IAALS agree with Brian Boatright, the ABA, and the Colorado legislature? TO INGRID BAKKE AND 20TH DISTRICT; Does anyone on your district management team or any of your judges agree with Dea Lindsey? TO SCAO: Does the SCAO have a mechanism to identify an honest judge or judicial official in Colorado? TO CBA AND BCBA: Have any of you seen a worse more capricious and biased court order than the one by Dea Lindsey? BOATRIGHT: Where there was wrongdoing, we will address it. Where there was an abuse of power, we will stop it. Where our policies are deficient, we will change them. We want to know the truth. I do want to put a face to the system and let people know that we're human beings and care about the public, and we are doing our best to do the job. So, it's putting a human voice to the system. It bears repeating that we will make public the results and recommendations of the investigations, including steps to ensure accountability, fairness and transparency throughout Colorado’s judicial branch...We will think anew and we will act anew...I want to assure you that we, as the judicial branch, will bring the clear-eyed perspective, energy and determination to tackling the challenges that face the branch … during these trying times. We are committed to lifting the clouds over the branch. IAALS AND COLORADO LEGISLATURE CRS 13-5.7-101 (1) The general assembly finds and declares that: (a)Access to justice is a basic principle of the rule of law, and it ensures that all persons, institutions, and entities, public and private, including the state itself, are accountable to laws that are publicly promulgated, equally enforced, and independently adjudicated. In the absence of access to justice, people are unable to have their voice heard, exercise their rights, challenge discrimination, or hold decision makers accountable. (b)Lack of access to justice is a problem that has serious social, legal, economic, and political consequences; (c)Since 2003, the Colorado access to justice commission has collaborated with organizations concerned about the gap in access to justice in Colorado to develop and support a range of tools, policies, and services to address this gap. The commission has served as a hub for the many stakeholders working on access to the civil legal process without statutory acknowledgment. (d)From 2003 to the present, the need for access to justice and the importance of improving access have grown, but the challenges of access to justice in Colorado and around the nation have become more acute; (e)A study by the Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System at the university of Denver found that access to justice is a broad societal problem, with sixty-six percent of the American population experiencing at least one legal problem in the past four years and with less than half of those problems being completely resolved; (i)There is an intersection of need and opportunity with respect to access to civil justice for all Coloradans, such that the commission’s ongoing work merits statutory recognition, informing the governor and general assembly through regular, systematic input from the commission. (2) Therefore, the general assembly recognizes that access to civil courts is a pillar of democracy and enacts this article 5.7 to codify the Colorado access to justice commission and affirm its commitment to equitable access to the civil legal process. AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION ABA MODEL RULES AND MODEL CODE OF JUDICIAL CONDUCT Rule 2.6 of the American Bar Association (ABA) Model Code of Judicial Conduct (Model Code) requires a judge to “accord to every person who has a legal interest in a proceeding . . . the right to be heard according to law.” Model Code Rule 2.2 requires the judge to “act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the . . . impartiality of the judiciary.” The most fundamental mistake trial judges make is failing to guarantee the right “to be heard according to law” out of fear of losing their “impartiality.” The ABA Standards Relating to Trial Courts, promulgated in 1976, give predominant weight to ensuring the right to be heard: “When litigants undertake to represent themselves, the court should take whatever measures may be reasonable and necessary to insure a fair trial.” Echoing the earlier trial court standards, in 2007 the ABA amended the Model Code, adding the following commentary to Rule 2.2 on impartiality: To ensure impartiality and fairness to all parties, a judge must be objective and open minded; It is not a violation of this Rule for a judge to make reasonable accommodations to ensure pro se litigants the opportunity to have their matters fairly heard. ABA: … the strength of the fabric of our society depends on the active participation of its members. The Preamble to the Model Rules exhorts lawyers to “seek improvement of the law, access to the legal system, the administration of justice and the quality of service rendered by the legal profession . . .” and to “further the public’s understanding of and confidence in the rule of law and the justice system because legal institutions in a constitutional democracy depend on popular participation and support to maintain their authority”
