Bartus Trust

Shaming Justice: the Arizona State Bar and Supreme Court Bartus Trust

Publisher Marketing: Do you think your gifted daughter or, for that matter, your son, should practice law? If (s)he applies to the bar in Arizona, there is a chance that before being called "counselor," (s)he will have to agree to be termed "nut case." In recent years, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has scrutinized some Southern and Eastern state bars for noncompliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act. The DOJ has taken action against several state bars for imposing special conditions on licensure of individuals with past mental or substance issues-a form of second-class bar membership. As of 2015, however, the ADA is still not scrupulously observed in many states. The State Bar of Arizona has been violating the civil rights of members since at least 2004, when it hired a "therapist"--a man with a felony conviction record--to impose "disciplinary counseling" on members, both those with as well as many with NO prior mental health or substance history. The Arizona Bar is bullying members with the very kind of second-class Bar membership that is proscribed under the Americans With Disabilities Act. The scheme is designed purely to amplify the Bar's revenue. See how, with the collusion of the Supreme Court of Arizona, the Arizona Bar s perpetuating a lucrative, illegal racket--and keeping federal authorit es and the Arizona Legislature at bay by us ng member impositions to hire lobbyists.
