- Dr. Richard Cordero maintains a valuable website at Judicial Discipline Reform. It’s rather quirky in a number of ways (in particular, he writes very formalistically, and he relies too heavily on “statistical” methods [as opposed to explicit/specific provable cases, as we do on this website]), but Cordero is serious and knowledgeable. His primary work-product is a massive two-volume treatise on Exposing Judge’s Unaccountability and Consequent Riskless Wrondoing (Vol. I ⌥, Vol. II ⌥).
