Welcome to the Judicial Terrorism
Are you having trouble with probate, estate, guardianships, access to public records, or property seizures in probate cases? This may be the website for you. The purpose of this website is to create an awareness of probate problems in the court system nationwide. This website will be updated at least once a month. Scroll down to read "Judges Fight Back Against Common Law Courts," published in Media Bypass in April, 1997. Additional articles written by June Wisniewski will be added monthly.
You can read the article, "Continuing Education Credit Prejudices Judges," published in the Idaho Observer in January, 2001, on this link,http://proliberty.com/observer/20010105.htm .
The mission of this website is to look for peaceful ways to stop the violent, abusive, discriminatory, and illegal tactics of judges in the country, specifically those that were trained by the National Judicial College (NJC) and other training organizations. Judges are trained to confiscate assets of individuals, take away an individual’s rights, put bogus guardianships on individuals, and predetermine trial issues against litigants they dislike.
This website will focus on probate, estate, guardianship issues, access to public records, and property seizure issues. It will feature the probate activities in Union County, New Jersey, the setting of “The Sopranos.” It will also feature the collaboration of the judicial system in Union County, New Jersey, with the local law enforcement. This includes Linden mayor, police commissioner, and convicted felon, John Gregorio, now fined for four separate violations for ethics violations for illegally influencing the government involving the trash-transfer station for garbage disposal. The state Local Finance Board ruled that Gregorio used his influence to help his son-in-law, Dominick Pucillo, the leader of an investment group that owned the land where BFI transfer station planned to build so that they could process most of New York City trash.
Several of us are investigating litigants that have been damaged by several judges and county offices: Judge John Boyle (former Union County judge, now working for Lindabury, Estabrook &McCormick), Union County Assignment Judge Edward Beglin, former Union County Surrogate Ann Conti, Union County Surrogate James LaCorte, any employee from the Union County Surrogate's Office, any problems with Chancery Court in Union County, any problems with attorneys in the law firm of Lindabury, Estabrook & McCormick in Westfield, New Jersey, attorney Walter Kipp of Kipp, Somerville & Kipp in Rutherford, New Jersey, former Judge William Dressel from Colorado, the National Judicial College in Reno, Nevada. If you have had any problems with them, please contact me immediately.
One of the major supporters of NJC is Senator Bill Raggio, who agrees with the activities of NJC. Raggio, as head of the Senate Finance Committee in Nevada, pushed for the State of Nevada to release over six million dollars in state funds to support the activities of NJC since 1997. Senator Raggio represented Frank Sinatra when Sinatra lied to the gaming commission regarding his ties to organized crime in order to get his gaming license back. Raggio, as late as 1999, in a quote in the University of Nevada publication, the Silver and Blue article, “Scoring for Education,” admitted that he was the District Attorney that burned down Joe Comforte’s brothel, and that he would have gotten less heat if he burned down a church. Raggio’s activities are considered perfectly acceptable in the State of Nevada, and it makes one wonder if the rest of the State Senators supported Raggio out of fear as to what might happen to them if they did not support him.
The securities fraud issue involving PaineWebber and their illegal inside trading and substitute of bogus, bankrupt, junk bonds for cash in a brokerage account will be covered. The cooking of books in the Accounting of the Wisniewski probate case involving the stock portfolio scam will also be covered. The two New Jersey family probate cases and the embezzlement and mishandling of the estate assets and property by the New Jersey court system, and the NJC training these judges received will also be covered.
The activities of the non-profit corporation called the National Judicial College will be covered, including their questionable accounting practices, their lack of a state license to operate as a college and offer graduate courses towards a graduate degree in Judicial Studies, their lack of accreditation, their training activities, and their illegal solicitation of funds nationwide.
June Wisniewski and Dorothy Bukowski have been turned down by the Union County Surrogate's Office when they requested access to part of their court files and estate assets in two probate cases, "In the Matter of the Estate of Joseph Wisniewski, Sr." and "In the Matter of the Alleged Will of A. Leo Korona." Assignment Judge Edward Beglin and Surrogate Ann Conti both denied June and Dorothy access to public information. A formal complaint was filed with the Government Records Council, and our records complaint was sent to Kevin Wolfe, Chief, Civil Practice Liaison, Administrative Office of the Courts in early January, 2003, but he had failed to get back with June regarding the court documents she requested. The court document June requested from Assignment Judge Edward Beglin was a MEMO written to him that states her father was killed so that the government could confiscate her father's property. Since Judge Beglin refuses to give June a copy of this document that she read in a public court file, does this make him an accessory to murder after the fact, and responsible for the theft and grand larceny in the amount of over $250,000? The rackeeteering involved Judge Edward Beglin, former Deputy Surrogate Robert Lenahan (who wrote the MEMO), former Union County Surrogate Ann Conti, and former Probate Judge John Boyle. Boyle now works for the law firm that put the bogus guardianship on June so that they could confiscate her probate property, and the guardian is working for the law firm, Lindabury, Estabrook & McCormick, that Boyle now works for. You can link up to them at http://www.Lindabury.com/.
The current Union County Surrogate denied June and Dorothy access to public information in August, 2002, attaching a letter and a court order from Judge Beglin.
Judge John Boyle, Judge Frederick Kentz, and Surrogate Ann Conti were trained by the National Judicial College, and denied June access to her court files and estate assets. A letter was written to the AOC, Robert Lipscher, a teacher at NJC, regarding access to court files in Union County, but he did not respond to June's letter.

University of Nevada Offers Bogus Graduate Degree for Judges
The National Judicial College (NJC) in collaboration with the University of Nevada, Reno, (UNR) offers an abbreviated, accelerated graduate degree for judges, the Masters of Judicial Studies (MJS) degree. This MJS degree was started in 1986 and the new Ph.D. in Judicial Studies was started in 2001.
The MJS degree, and the Ph.D. degree in Judicial Studies have no external review, and no stamp of approval by the regional accreditation body, the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges (NASC). The Northwest Association stated in an August 30, 2002, letter that the correspondence of June Wisniewski regarding the Judicial Studies degree program was referred to UNR for consideration.
The National Judicial College (NJC) is a private, unlicensed, unregulated, unaccredited 501 (c) (3) corporation located in Reno, Nevada. NJC trains over 2,000 state judges a year and offers graduate credits that are not recognized as educational credentials or college credits by the Nevada Commission on Postsecondary Education (NCPE). NJC has received over ten million dollars since 1997 from the federal government, the State Justice Institute, and the State of Nevada.
The National Judicial College is not legally licensed to operate in Nevada, to offer graduate credits towards a degree, or advertise that it is involved in offering a graduate degree. NJC does not have a current annual report, but uses a 2001/2002 profile instead. NJC has no external review for any of its courses, and most of the training, course, and conference materials used to train judges and other court personnel are hidden from the public and the press. NJC was never properly founded as a college (see NJ 2002 appellate court decision, Warren County Community College vs. Warren County Board of Chosen Freeholders).
NJC, in collaboration with UNR, offers a shortened, accelerated Masters Degree in Judicial Studies (MJS) for only 12 credits and a journal article, and bypassed the accreditation process for a substantive change as required by the Northwestern Association of Schools and Colleges. NJC, a non-regionally accredited organization, did not file a contractual agreement with UNR to accept or transfer the so-called graduate credits NJC offers from NJC to UNR, to be used towards the MJS degree. A doctorate degree in Judicial Studies was approved by the Board of Regents and is now being offered by UNR, with unlicensed, unaccredited, and unregulated graduate credits being offered by NJC and transferred to UNR for this degree.
NJC does not meet the criteria for UNR graduate credits or a graduate degree program. Only 12 graduate credits are taken from UNR towards the MJS degree. The rest of the so-called graduate credits, taken at NJC, are satisfactory/unsatisfactory, with a magazine/journal article, which is little more than a college term paper, that now meets the requirements for a thesis. The so-called thesis of Judge Janet Berry, which she refers to as an essay, resembles little more than a college term paper with no primary research, only secondary research.
The MJS degree does not follow the same guidelines for course requirements, faculty, and the substantive change process as required for different programs at UNR.
June Wisniewski met with NJC President William Dressel on July 16, 2002. He confirmed that NJC had no license to operate as a college, and felt that NJC did not need a state license. Dressel also said that no tax returns, proof of non-profit status, and audited financial statements were on file in any state where NJC has solicited and currently solicits money. Dressel said, “We don’t send out the 990’s or other financial statements out to other states,” and admitted that he, in his capacity as President of NJC, was breaking the law.
The 990 tax returns, required for non-profit corporations to file with the I.R.S., were finally put on Guidestar in 2003, the website to locate the tax returns of non-profit corporations. The NJC tax returns were not on Guidestar in May, 2002, when June requested these returns so that she could bring them with here to her fellowship on non-profit corporations in Mississippi. A lawsuit could not open the financial records of NJC, as they are judges, and have worked their way around the system on that issue.
NJC has not followed the law in Nevada for licensing and the laws in other states for solicitation of funds, and do not have their records open for public review. NJC has worked their way around the system so that no licensing, accreditation body, the press, or the public can review their financial records or conference/teaching materials without a big confrontation.
NJC Board of Trustees member, Judge Procter Hug, Jr., cancelled an interview June scheduled with him in July, 2002. NJC Board of Trustees chairperson Judge Janet J. Berry failed to respond to phone calls and correspondence, and has a MJS degree from UNR.
NJC solicits money and has failed to follow state laws and file tax returns, financial reports, and proof of non-profit status with the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Alaska, Utah, Arizona, and Florida.

Update - December 8, 2002 State of Nevada Gives A Special Interest Group $450,000 for Fund Raising Activities
The State of Nevada is giving $450,000 annually to a special interest group called the National Judicial College (NJC) according to Senate Bill No. 437, approved by the Legislature in 2001. NJC is a private, non-profit, 501(c) (3) corporation. NJC stated on their testimony at the 2001 legislative session that the money would be used for fund raising purposes, and for scholarships for out-of-state judges. When asked for a breakdown of their income and expenditures, per NRS 1.470, as required by law, they refused to comply. NJC is demanding an excessive amount of money, and is not being held accountable by the Governor, the Nevada State Legislature, or the Senate Finance Committee on how the money is actually being spent.
The money that is being allocated to NJC is being used for frivolous purposes, including entertainment expenses. The Fleischmann Foundation criticized NJC for not giving a breakdown of their entertainment expenses, and the I.R.S. sued the American Bar Association for money allocated to NJC.
The money allocated to NJC can be reverted back to the State of Nevada, and can be used to keep the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), campus open from December 21, 2002, to January 5, 2003. Over 1,000 UNR classified employees are being forced to make up for time lost due to the proposed campus closure, and over 10,000 UNR students are being inconvenienced by the proposed college closure, when there is money available to keep UNR open. The student employment fund is also being cut back because of the so-called lack of funding. The citizens of Nevada should not be forced to finance NJC, a special interest group with a hidden agenda that does not meet the needs of this state.
UNR says that there is no money left to keep the lights in the parking lots on after 11 p.m., even though the library is open until midnight five nights a week. If a students get assaulted, they can file a complaint against the UNR president because he is aware that there is money appropriated for NJC that can be used towards critical services, such as the student escort services after hours, and to keep the lights on at night.
Please contact Governor Kenny Guinn at (775) 684-5670, or by fax at (775) 684-5683, or by e-mail at his home page athttp://gov.state.nv.us/contact.htm or by mail at Capitol Building, Carson City, Nevada 89701, and ask him to revert back to the State of Nevada the money that is being set aside for NJC, and use it to keep the UNR campus open and keep the UNR student jobs.
NJC is the special interest group that Senator Bill Raggio supports. You can contact him at (775) 786-5000, or (775) 684-6500, orwraggio@sen.state.nv.us or senate@lcb.state.nv.us or fax at (775) 323-8534 and ask him to revert the NJC funding back to the State of Nevada and to UNR.
Update - December 8, 2002
The National Judicial College is in violation of state law per NRS 394. The fines for violating the licensing laws of the Nevada Commission on Postsecondary Education is $2,500 per day for each violation. Each day in violation of the licensing laws is a separate violation. Since the National Judicial College has been in violation of three separate state laws since 1986, for over 16 years, the fines that the State of Nevada could collect from NJC would wipe out their entire assets, which are about seventeen million dollars. This money can be used towards the University of Nevada Medical School budget, towards keeping the university campus open during the winter break, towards student employment, and for other programs to help the citizens of Nevada.
Over six million dollars was given to NJC by the State of Nevada since 1997, with a push from Senators Raggio and Rawson to give this organization public funds. This money is being used towards a corporate welfare program to support a frivolous training program that trains judges secretly, without any public access, to rule on cases against the public, without the knowledge and consent of the public. If you are in litigation with a judge, find out whether if he or she attended NJC. If they did, you may have a cause of action against the National Judicial College for the type of training that is being used against you in your court cases. Contact June Wisniewski at (775) 324-6856, or at renojune@judicialterrorism.com for further information. If NJC has damaged enough litigants, this may be a cause for a class action suit against NJC. This private, secret organization with no external review should not be supported with public funds from Congress, the State Justice Institute, or the State of Nevada.
Check out this site here for further updates and articles published by June on judicial training. Here is an interesting article about the Conference of Chief Justices and the Conference of State Court Administrators, the top legal leaders in each state and how they feel about litigants who represent themselves in probate and family courts.
