Justice
John J. Irwin,
Jr.'s
Infamous Memo
re
Guardian Ad
Litem Fees*
Dated 28
February 1997, still
in effect, orders Probate & Family Court judges
to assess
parties for GAL
fees
Section 4(a)
below is the operative
section. All the G.A.L.s provide services on behalf of the court,
thereby making the parties pay the G.A.L. fees is in violation of
the statute and therefore unlawful. The memo should be made
ineffective,
and restitution should be made to all parties forced to pay the G.A.L.
fees.

suspects
that the state
coffers were low and the judiciary wanted a larger budget. (The
judiciary
wants more $$$ every year.) In 1995, Governor Weld was
making
his bid for the 1996 election and the use of GALs increased by 35
percent
during that year. He had to make it look like there was more
money
in the Massachusetts till in the Treasury Department than there
was.
He probably struck a deal with Irwin, who had just become Chief Justice
for Administration and Management: Save us $$$millions in GAL
fees
and we'll give you a larger budget. I've asked a Boston
Globe
reporter to check what the budget for the judiciary was in each of the
years since 1995. It's the Woodward & Bernstein
approach:
FOLLOW THE MONEY!!!!
