So here we are. Just you and me. And of course the entire wired world.
Why shouldn't we speak our minds, express our views and rant about those things that are wrong with the Michigan justice system? Progress, innovation and change rarely occur without discourse and a healthy exchange or ideas.
Sure we have our legal organizations such as the Michigan Bar Association, the Michigan Trial Lawyers, our local bar associations. But where can Michigan lawyers and other legal professionals go to really say what they want to say, to bring about the changes which are necessary if our justice system is to grow and evolve into something better. For that matter, where can Michigan citizens go to express their thoughts about the justice system which serves them?
So many discussions about the inadequacies of our legal system occur behind closed doors, or on email list servs. I'm certain we all feel better when we express our views in private. But such discussions rarely create the impetus for true change. And I think we all realize that the public hasn't a clue as to what is happening in our Michigan justice system, good, bad or indifferent. How about an open forum for EVERYONE who cares about Michigan Courts and the Michigan legal system to express proposals, ideas and frustrations?
If it sounds too good to be true, then you fail to realize the power of the internet when matched with the first amendment right to free speech. This bLAWg is devoted to the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and the power of ideas to change the world in which we live. But the First Amendment needs fuel to operate as designed. That fuel comes from you.
So, I invite you to grab your favorite beverage and cozy up to your computer keyboard or speech recognition device. Let your ideas flow. Together, we can improve our Michigan justice system one idea at a time.
