The Targeted Impact of Anticipated Testimony:

A goal of our citizens' forum is to provide Congress a fair assessment
of whether the proper scope of judicial accountability hinges more on
perspective than established principals of due process.  So the most
sound of relevant perspectives will be shared through academic debate.
 The question of whether current government processes for judicial
oversight generally align with due process in America will then be
considered in light of testimony from a pre-selected panel of U. S.
citizens.  Their account of real cases and experiences should suggest
problem(s) beyond the prospect of isolated miscarriages of justice and
will hopefully prompt consensus among our presiding panelists on the
need for a corresponding, national solution.      

The Collective Profile of Anticipated Witnesses:

Those to testify will likely include U. S. citizens who unsuccessfully
sought relief for themselves and/or others through one (1) or more
judicial misconduct complaints and were accordingly unable to redress
some very serious injury or harm.  Among those witnesses will likely
be lawyers and/or former lawyers who will attest to being temporarily
or permanently removed from the legal profession based on their
judicial misconduct allegation(s).  Other witnesses would have been
unable to formally allege or effectively contend with apparent judicial
and/or prosecutorial misconduct in America due to the unwillingness
of non-lawyer advocates and/or attorneys to fully assist with the
process.  Some witnesses will only recount personal experiences while
others will be judicial reform leaders who can credibly attest to
relevant trends or apparent patterns based on personal experiences,
those of their constituents, and/or cases they have studied.
