Topic > Judicial Corruption in the United States - 1835

The problem of judicial corruption in the United States is immense. The Sixth Amendment of the United States Bill of Rights refers to the right to a speedy, fair, and public trial. Unfortunately, our justice system does not always guarantee these rights. The United States justice system is very corrupt, and most citizens of our country do not know how corrupt it actually is. When you think of the justice system, the words that come to mind are justice, morality, and fairness. Unfortunately, these words do not accurately describe this system. Correct descriptions of today's justice system are corruption, rigged courts, extortion and fake trials. Our legal system does not bring truth or justice to our courtrooms. Overcoming this corruption is not easy for the average citizen or anyone not involved in the “game”. This problem affects everyone, but only benefits four types of people; the judges, the lawyers, the clients who pay thousands more to the lawyers to win the case and the police. Judges today do not behave fairly and accept bribes from equally corrupt lawyers who are desperate to win a case and improve their wins over their losses. Lawyers ask clients for more money so they can secretly hand cash to lawyers and ask for “favors” in the courtroom. With all this injustice, fear is instilled in the client, who is then willing to spend more on a lawyer to ensure their success in a case; “fear and injustice equal more money for lawyers and judges” (Sachs). Many people know or have witnessed this corruption and numerous attempts have been made to get rid of it. It is no easy task to try to bring justice where it should be done.
