The Responsibility Project

1. Tattletales or Reporting?

   I create sites that "out" ethics lapses in the legal arena. I don't consider it tattletales...there is a responsibility to be transparent in the law where so much corruption takes place. I report only those things that can be documented. So if a judge starts a custody hearing at the wrong time leaving one parent not there, you better believe I'm going to write about it. Or another refuses to let expert witness information in because she's friends with opposing counsel, I'll write about it. (See Stanford Professor Philip Zimbardo on hiding evil in The Lucifer Effect.) When we shine light on evil, bad things and inhumane things, we can act on them. To let them sit in darkness, to do nothing breeds more. Some of the sites pointed out here may be silly when they "out" a tip, but not if bitter waitress was sexually harassed. Common sense will be ditched at times, so we have to watch out for that. But to sit and watch bad and not have the courage to speak up is what lets evil thrive.
