The 3rd Department attorney disciplinary committee hires a confidential court analyst, without a law degree, for spying on attorneys online and for managing the court system where the Committee appears

Here is the application - the deadline is already past, so the pool of applicants is already defined for this job:

Note that the "court analyst" will perform "confidential analysis, research, planning and other related duties" in the areas of:

• budget development;
• court finance;
• personnel administration;
• resource allocation; and
• court system management and administration.

That a court analyst publicly hired, for taxpayers' money, to secretly analyze public functions of public courts is already an outrage and completely illegal.

What is even more illegal - and revealing - is that the employee of the attorney disciplinary committee will perform confidential research and analysis of the entire "court system management and administration" - authority that attorney disciplinary committees (which are illegal to begin with because their existence is not prescribed by Judiciary Law 90 regulating the legal profession in New York) do not have under any stretch of imagination.

Since attorney disciplinary committees now secretly research and analyze "court system management and administration", "court finance", "court personnel administration", and "court resource allocation" (the word court is located in the sentence before the word combinations "personnel administration" and "resource allocation", and, by rules of construction, defines those word combinations, too), with this announcement it has become even more clear that attorney regulation in New York is illegal, because the accusers are part of the adjudicators - which is illegal as of June 2016 under Williams v Pennsylvania, 579 U.S. __ (2016).

Also, please, note that the "court analyst"/investigator will be "gathering information from online sources" - about attorneys.  So, I understand that the new position involves, very simply, spying on attorneys' posts in social media.  And I am sure that posts praising judges will not be sought - only those criticizing the court system and misconduct of its politically connected "pillars".

I will verify through FOIL who was hired for this "lucky" and powerful behind-the-scenes position and will report it on this blog.

Stay tuned.
