The mask of hypocrisy as to the purpose of attorney regulation in New York is off as of November 2015

On November 13, 2015, a law license of an attorney (mine) was pulled for "frivolous" criticism of a judge (and a prosecutor, and the Vice-Chair of the New York Commission of Judicial Conduct drumming favors from a judge dependent on his favors) in several motions to recuse (motions made in order to ensure my client's constitutional right to an impartial judicial review).

On November 30, 2015, a judge of an attorney-licensing court, Judge Sheri Roman of the Appellate Division 2nd Department, testified in front of the NYS Judicial Compensation Commission, and in her testimony, extended, on behalf of the state judiciary, a "resounding thank you" to a law firm and several named attorneys of that law firm for advocating in favor of judicial pay raises, pay raises for those people who hold in their hands licenses and livelihoods of those same attorneys (see interlinked transcript of Judge Roman's testimony, pages 40-41, see also full analysis of her testimony here).

So, in the month of November, year of 2015, the New York judiciary finally threw to the winds its mask of hypocrisy and openly stated to the people what exactly attorney licensing in this state is for:  

1) to fight the whistleblowers of judicial corruption and make sure that they cannot earn a living in their own state, or anywhere else they choose to go from the glorious State of New York; and

2) to encourage corruption of the government by the legal elite, as a quid pro quo for keeping their licenses intact, keeping them in business and, no doubt, ruling in their favor.

I wonder if law schools will assign Judge Roman's testimony to law school students as a required reading in their Ethics class - because, as I said before on this blog, brown-nosing the judiciary is THE ONLY rule of "ethics" New York State attorneys need to survive in their "noble profession".
