Behind the Black Robes: Failed
Justice
By Barbara C. Johnson
Published August 2009
The
book addresses a serious problem, the need for court reform and the abolishment
of judicial and quasi-judicial immunity. Marinated with the makings of sizzle,
the book is filled with the courts’ tricks and traps for the unwary—to alert
the readers both why their law cases failed and what must be done to effect
court reform.
Each chapter introduces the background of the subject of that chapter and then presents a series of illustrative anecdotes intended to teach the readers by example how to avoid those court tricks and traps people are likely to encounter in their existing or potential court cases.
Its author, Barbara C. Johnson, an unconventional 74-year-old, has long been a fierce advocate for fathers' rights in family courts. She is an outspoken critic of the Massachusetts court system, which she says is rife with corruption.
In 2002, she ran a quixotic campaign for governor, campaigning in an antique fire truck and promising to use creativity, compassion, and a willingness to listen to the People to mend an ailing government.
In 2006, Johnson was barred from practicing law in Massachusetts. “The disbarment by a kangaroo court was an effort to silence my criticism of the courts,” she said.
A newspaper wrote, “While we don't fully agree with either her politics or her methods, Johnson is a character in a humdrum world sorely in need of more characters. She's the thorn in the side, the thumbtack on the chair. . . . Johnson speaks her mind, and loudly.”

-----
The judicial system is very broken. It must be fixed.
There are four people who can do the job:
Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
Everybody thinks Somebody will surely do it.
It is a job Anybody can do. But Nobody is doing it.
At least I'm trying. What are you doing?
when the government is wrong.
--- VOLTAIRE
First, it is ridiculed.
Second,
it is violently opposed.
Third,
it is accepted as being self-evident.
