	Institute for Justice
		The Institute for Justice (IFJ) was founded as a public interest law firm and advocacy group in 1991 by William H. Mellor, former president of the Pacific Research Institute for Public Policy, and Clint Bolick, former director of the Landmark Center for Civil Rights.
		Activist groups like the Institute for Justice and the reactionary foundations that fund them have succeeded to a great extent in defining the public debate over issues of social policy as a choice between a racist status quo and a collection of "reform" schemes designed to open the doors to widespread privatization and deregulation.
		If the IFJ and its cohorts succeed in winning their ultimate goal of a society with no restrictions at all on the corporations, all those who do not control those corporations will be vulnerable to the same kind of exploitation and oppression that existed until relatively recently in this country's history.

		The institute knows that showmanship won't win cases before the Supreme Court, and it is careful to draft briefs that blend their clients' personal stories with fetching legal arguments that will appeal to the libertarian streak of a number of current justices.

	Summary 'justice' is coming to Britain \| Samizdata.net
		Tony Blair now does not even feel the need to hide the fact he intends to introduce summary 'justice' in Britain without the inconvenience of a trial or other for of due process.
		While I agree that the courts are frustratingly slow, and 'justice' (not just a mere rubber stamping of whatever 'legislators' seem to think the 'law' should be today) does need to be dispensed in a much more timely fashion, this is most certainly not the way to go about it.
		If they had suggested 'roving judges' that were employed by and qualified by the courts that would be dispatched to the scene to provide a limited set of services that would be one thing, and provided it was set up right, possibly helpful.
