United States District Court Eastern District of California Judge Lawrence J. O'Neill, Judge Edmund F. Brennan: Federal appellate judge discloses institutionalized bias against court users who can't afford an attorney and are forced to represent themselves in court. Court users and whistleblowers report the problem is systemic in the US District Court in Sacramento, California. Self-represented, "pro se" litigants are treated as second class citizens under a two-track system of justice. The public is denied the federally protected right to honest government services, a federal crime. Attorneys receive preferential treatment, according to Judge Richard Posner.
