Let's Gather Again Around The Virtual Round Table

This Thursday - October 17, 2013 at 7:00 pm CT, attorney Michael McCray and NFOJA’s own Dr. Andrew D. Jackson will join your host, Zena Crenshaw-Logal, at “The Virtual Round Table” to discuss this remarkably important topic: “Third Branch Triage, 2013 -- A Retrospective on U.S. Judicial Reform Advocacy".

America is approaching a decade since the late William H. Rehnquist, former Chief Justice of our U.S. Supreme Court, noted with dignified but clear alarm in his 2004 year-end report on the Court that, at the time, there was a dramatic increase in public criticism of judges. National Forum On Judicial Accountability (NFOJA) emerged approximately five (5) years later, committed to restoring the balance between America’s judges and its sovereign citizens; a balance NFOJA contends is lost when judges essentially control all government processes for evaluating their conduct.

NFOJA’s emergence defied the earlier prediction of Russell Wheeler, a scholar in Governance Studies, that the “hot button issues” on judicial accountability that troubled late Chief Justice Rehnquist and many jurists, would cool and fade from national debate. But was this 2007 forecast of Wheeler merely off by a few years? As of 2013, has judicial reform advocacy in America simmered to occasionally loud complaints about individual judges, but relatively muzzled calls for serious, system-wide changes of America’s judiciary?

Joining NFOJA administrators to answer such questions will be attorney Michael McCray whose case, Michael McCray v. Thomas Penfield Jackson, was a motivating factor in the creation of NFOJA. Attorney McCray is General Counsel for FEW/LEF (Federally Employed Women -- Legal Education Fund), and a dedicated public interest advocate. He is a founder of the International Association of Whistleblowers (IAW) and the chief organizer of the annual “Whistleblower Summit for Civil and Human Rights”. He is also the author of Race, Power and Politics, the inside story of ACORN, and the host of the “Fifth Estate,” the only show about whistleblowers produced by whistleblowers, which airs on the Pacifica Radio Network.
