Was he correct, on
the facts & on the law?
NYS DISBARMENT
George Sassower's November 29, 1985 letter
to the Grievance
Committee members
"3. ...I enter this
struggle the accuser, not the accused.
4....'The
general thrust of the Committee's complaint is that
[respondent] engaged in vexatious and frivolous
judicial
proceedings, and indeed knowingly violated judicial orders
in so doing.
The general response
of [respondent] is that he was engaed in the professional
obligatory search for truth and justice
on behalf of his
client, the task was performed with great integrity, and
that the orders claimed to have been violated
are null,
void, and/or of no effect (United
States v. Throckmorton, 98 U.S. 61).
Indeed, the
pervasive fraud, perjury, and corruption involved in ths
underlying litigation,
warrants the affirmative action by
the committee for the purpose of having same declared a
nullity
[Hazel-Atlas v. Hartford-Empire, 322 U.S. 238;
Universal v. Root, 328 U.S. 575)."
