re: Kamininski and recusals in NH (I could not respond to your other post on the subject kept getting an error message) Needless to say the "informal policy" on recusals you read about came as a bit of a shock to most members of the bar as well. I doubt any real harm ever came of the policy of letting judges who were recused comment on grammatical style of opinions, etc., however, the appearance of impropriety is undeniable and these are not stupid men. What could they have been thinking? Our chief justice and two associate justices are under an invesitgation whch could lead to impeachment. Anyway the recusal policy has been changed to totally eliminate all particiaption by a recused judge in all future cases. Our statutue lets anyone with good moral character appear in Court on his own behalf or on behalf of others, if with respect to those others, it is not a regular practice. Interestingly I had a case where the person on the otherside was a disbarred lawyer. He stole client funds and built a home for himself with them. I was trying to get the home back. He filed a pro se appearance in the case which the Court refused to accept saying his conviction for embezzlement and fraud disqualified him as a person of good moral character. His wife then appeared pro se and the Court bent over backwards to help her holding me strictly to all the rules. Our system of justice often times appears to assist those who are least deserving. JLA
