Do-Something Strategies for Public Integrity and Family Law Reform


Litigation:

Community/Advocacy Organization Strategies:
  • Children's Best Interests Survey.
  • RateMy[Government worker/Attorney/CommunityLeader/AdvocacyOrganization].com
  • Private community leader registry.
  • Grass-roots internet talk radio and video news media revolution.
  • Unionizing public corruption victims, and networking with social media integrated with robust civic empowerment tools.
  • Group-rate/Groupon DIY legal workshops.
  • Group-rate/Groupon private investigations/government audits.

Legislation/Citizen Initiatives:
  • Live streaming/podcasting of all public government meetings. Like/dislike buttons and public comments.
  • Randomly selected, continuously convened civilian grand jury panels. Selected by outgoing convened panels.
  • Privatization of all government oversight committees.
  • Secure government logins to statute and legislative bill websites for access to Like/dislike buttons on every statute and bill. Tampering constitutes breach of the peace.
  • Claims of public integrity violations given to a prosecutor, mandate either referral to a grand jury, prosecution of the accused for cause given, or prosecution of the claimant for false reporting.
  • Upon probable cause of criminal misconduct/public corruption, unless the referred to and heard by a grand jury, no prosecuting official may fail to prosecute.
  • All judges must be elected.
  • Eliminate judicial delegation of "absolute" immunity by "quasi-judicial" means to officials void of "absolute" judicial qualifications and capacities.
  • Eliminate abuses of jurisdiction/process such as application of the civil process in lieu of any applicable criminal process, where the avoided jurisdiction/process affords greater rights and standards. (I.E. criminal standard for adjudicating allegations of child abuse only applicable allegations
  • Burden of proving due effort to identify the public  for drafting legislation, and minimum polling standards for lawmakers.
  • Make "Constitutional attorneys" a minimum standard rather than a rare breed.
  • Make legal self representation and  constitutional law studies an educational core curriculum course with higher priority than math.
  • Government incentives/tax breaks for attorneys who publish original legal document templates. Especially when related to civil rights.
  • Civilian walk-in micro-grants for public integrity victim advocacy/public interest polling. Community-based minimum standards and proof of bonafide service.
