| Info | Doug, age 55, is courageous, principled, and bright. He speaks out constructively to address judicial system problems, such as the guardianship system abuses he exposed in 1995. In 2003, Justice Bobbe Bridge wrote, "Because of Schafer’s actions [in 1996], a corrupt judge was exposed and the public was served by the judge’s removal from office," but Bridge and her colleagues harshly disciplined Doug for exposing too much. See [Link] .
Integrity of our legal and judicial system must be our highest priority. Our nine elected state supreme court justices govern our state’s lawyers and judicial system. They should hold open public meetings to debate and adopt, as other states have, lawyer ethics rules that require lawyers to report serious misconduct by other lawyers and judges; that require lawyers to reveal client secrets to prevent anyone’s likely death or serious bodily harm; that require lawyers to stop, or else report, their clients’ fraud or crime; that require lawyers to reveal client secrets to stop child or elder abuse and to help victims of fraud or crime in which wrongdoers used the lawyer; that require lawyers to report corruption or lawlessness by government officials.
