A report of antitrust violations by regulators of the legal profession in New York was made to the United States Federal Trade Commission

On February 25, 2015 the U.S. Supreme Court has made a seminal decision stripping of immunity members of state boards regulating professions if:

(1) they are acting without authority;
(2) market participants control the regulating board;
(3) there is no state oversight over actions of market participants.

The name of the case is North Carolina Board of Dental Examiners v. FTC.

I just reported, in a petition with 25 exhibits and with a proposed complaint, antitrust violations and anti-competitive activities of New York regulators of the legal profession who are overwhelmingly market participants.

Not only their violations fit exactly all three of the prongs of the U.S. Supreme Court test that I descrdibed above, but, as everybody knows, lawyers control every nook and cranny of every governmental body in every state, and the State of New York is no difference, so there is no independent state body that can be found (in my opinion) in New York to oversee anti-competitive activities of regulators of the law market.

For that reason, I asked the FTC not only to stop the described anti-competitive activities of the law market regulators in New York, but also to appoint a Federal Monitor to oversee compliance and investigate how far back in time and how deeply such practices went.

The petition with 25 exhibits and the draft of the proposed complaint of the Federal Trade Commission that I forwarded to FTC today are available for review on my public Facebook group page "Independence of Human Rights Defenders".
