Dear Mr Lynch

LAWYERS VERSUS LAWYER – BIGGEST HUMAN RIGHTS CASE OF THE CENTURY? -

VICTORIAN SUPREME COURT PROCEEDINGS 9665 OF 2007, 9263 AND 10222 OF 2008
AND 3731 AND 3366 OF 2009
1. I am writing to for a couple of reasons, firstly to thank you for the work that your organisation
does. It is nice to see that not all lawyers are driven purely by the profit motive.
2. I attach for your information and by way of introduction my credentials document. I do this for
two reasons. The first is that I am interested in discovering what scope there may be for me
to join your organisation (given my top tier commercial law background and my rapid and
healthy interest in human rights laws, which I have developed over the past two years).
3. Secondly, I am myself involved as self-represented defendant, for reasons I will explain in
due course, in what I think may be the most significant human rights case, one of the biggest
cases on the laws of lawyering, judging and government and constitutional laws for decades.
4. Rather than sending you thousands of pages of pleadings and affidavits, and more thousands
of pages of lawyers letters and submissions, I will send you copies of my submission
materials to the Victorian Legal Aid Office seeking legal aid funding for these proceedings.
Briefly, and borrowing from Geoffrey Robertson QC's terminology (eg his Justice Game) I
believe it is reasonable to say that lawyers (solicitors, barristers and judges) are supposed to
be the keepers, the 'game keepers' of our laws – especially human rights laws. But what
happens when the game keepers become overcome with greed and turn game poachers and
predators, exploiting the rules and laws and procedures which are supposed to keep citizens
our safe? What I have discovered (to my personal horror and detriment) is that Australia
seems to be the land that Magna Charta has forgotten, and Australian law courts lawless

 places where rules and laws are trumped by the privileges and (abuses of) powers of
barristers and judges (and family lawyers) playing what Geoffrey Robertson has coined as
'the Justice Game'.
5. I have also discovered (and I attach a page of House of Representative Hansard from last
century recording this fact) that as shameful as the Aboriginal stolen generation saga was, it
is but a drop in the bucket compared to the human tragedy, and human death toll caused by
the Family Law Courts stolen generations. It seems, and I couldn't hope to put it in words any
better than the former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives did, that the Family
Law Courts and family lawyers are the biggest centre of human rights abusers in the country
– Family Law Courts are rarely if ever about assisting families or children in crisis, but are all
about generating $6bn to $8bn annual feeding frenzy for family lawyers and assorted hangers
on (like psychologists) out of the busted up remains of the wealth of those distressed families.
Oh brave new world – it has such lawyers in it.
6. If I over quote Shakespeare, Lewis Carroll, Dickens, Orwell, Jonathan Swift, Malthus, Michael
Kirby, Geoffrey Robertson and Richard Posner, well I feel that I have earned the right. For 2
years this commercial lawyer of 19 years good standing with no litigation training or
experience whatsoever has been battling, lawyer versus lawyer, against 4 corrupt family
lawyers and now also am battling single handed against those 4 lawyers 8 lawyers (each
getting one of 4 city law firms and 4 city barristers all funded by the Legal Practitioners
Liability EVASION Committee). Not only, the irony of it, was the Legal Practitioners Liability
Committee my most valuable foundation client for the first two years of my own private
practice (1999 and 2000), but of course while these corrupt lawyers get 'blue ribbon legal aid
with all the extras' and of course know how to bend and break the rules in the familiar territory
of Courts where they have been first name friends of all of the judiciary for decades, I am all
alone, a complete stranger and nobody to the judiciary, inexperienced in clean, let alone
illegitimate litigator tricks played on me, and of course rendered penniless right at the outset
of these hostilities by the very wrongful acts of these aggressors.
7. In respect of my personal litigation problem, I am hopeful that the HRLRC might wish to
become involved as an amicus curae having regard to the legal issues and bodies involved.
At present I am waiting for responses to my legal aid application, and also awaiting
responses from the Attorney-General and the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights
Commissioner as to whether they wish to intervene.
8. In respect of my inquiries as to employment – I realise that the Centre relies on grants for
funding and hence the prospects of paid employment (even on a part-time basis) may not be
rosy. However I would be interested in unpaid employment with the Centre (even if part

 time). My financial situation (as a result of these unlawful actions against me by other
members of the legal profession, means that I have by their wrong doing been effectively
ruined financially (pending appeal court outcomes), and even having reliable access to bulk
photocopying and office facilities would be a much greater boost to my resources to fight for
my rights than might at first seem apparent.
9. I would be more grateful than you can imagine, to hear from you if there is any chance I can
help you with your work, or, indeed you can help me with mine.

Kind regards

JAMES JOHNSON
