Podcast appearances and mentions of Richard A Posner

It's not just the MAGA crowd who are concerned with government waste and inefficiency. In a convincing Wall Street Journal op-ed, best-selling tech author Larry Downes questions the need for a thousand Social Security offices around the country. Downes argues that the federal government's resistance to digital transformation has resulted in staggeringly low user satisfaction rates - just 12% for federal government services. Despite more than 85% of federal workers being based outside Washington, there have been few serious attempts to modernize these services through e-government initiatives. While the incoming Trump administration's "Doge" team has talked about reforming government, Downes remains skeptical about implementation, citing political obstacles rather than technical challenges. He notes that while Estonia and Denmark offer successful e-government models, American reform efforts face unique hurdles, including congressional resistance to closing local offices and bureaucratic procurement processes that often outlast technology cycles. Downes suggests that modernization could significantly improve service delivery while reducing costs, though it would impact federal employment. He emphasizes that this isn't about privatization but rather bringing government services into the digital age - something that could potentially serve as a safeguard against authoritarian overreach by systematizing government processes in transparent, digital systems.Larry Downes is the author of five books on the impact of technology on business, society, and the law. His first book, “Unleashing the Killer App” (Harvard Business School Press), was an international bestseller, with over 200,000 copies in print. The Wall Street Journal named it one of the five most important books ever published on business and technology. His most recent book is “Pivot to the Future” (Public Affairs), co-authored with Omar Abbosh and Paul Nunes of Accenture. It has been nominated for the 2019 Thinkers50 Strategy Award. Downes writes the “Innovations” column for The Washington Post and is a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review. He was previously a columnist for Forbes, CNET and The Industry Standard. He has written for a variety of other publications, including The New York Times, USA Today, Inc., The Economist, Wired, MIT Sloan Management Review, Entrepreneur, Fast Company, Recode, The Hill, Congressional Quarterly, Slate, The European Business Review, The Boao Review, and The San Francisco Chronicle. Downes has held faculty appointments at The University of Chicago, Northwestern University, and the University of California—Berkeley, where he was Associate Dean of the School of Information. From 2006-2010, he was a Fellow with the Stanford Law School Center for Internet and Society. From 2015-2019, he was Project Director at the Georgetown Center for Business and Public Policy at the McDonough School of Business. Downes testifies frequently before Congress on issues related to the regulation of technology, including those dealing with antitrust, privacy, communications policy, media law, and the role of the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Trade Commission in the 21st century. He holds a B.A. from Northwestern University and a J.D. from the University of Chicago. From 1993-1994, he served as law clerk to the Hon. Richard A. Posner, Chief Judge, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. He lives in Berkeley, CA.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show for the second time: Judicial Corruption and Court Reform victim, whistleblower and advocate, writer and author, content creator, retired teacher, basketball coach, and a man who is single-handedly - and successfully - taking on the court system: Brian VukadinovichBrian is a retired teacher and basketball coach in Indiana and has served as executive director of The Posner Center of Justice for Pro Se's based in Chicago, Illinois for retired federal court of appeals judge Richard A. Posner. He has successfully represented himself in state and federal court proceedings in Indiana including winning a federal jury verdict against his former public school corporation employer in Indiana in March 2016 for violating his due process rights in a five-day trial where he represented himself against the corporation's team of lawyers.He has received national acclaim for his self-representation ability. According to Speakerpedia Brian is considered to be the leading pro se litigant in the country as he is believed to be the only person to have ever won a federal civil rights jury trial by representing himself without a lawyer. According to Speakerpedia Brian is considered to be the foremost expert in the country in the art of pro se litigation – the ability to represent oneself – and has spoken on the topic in several different forums and interviews including speaking to a Yale Law School class about how he was able to successfully represent himself and win the federal civil rights jury trial against his former public school corporation employer.Brian has written two highly acclaimed books on this topic, “Motion for Justice: I Rest My Case”, and “Rogues in Black Robes” after he discovered from personal experience how corrupted the court is as well as having success in getting around the red tape of lawyers and judges by representing himself. The first time Brian was on, he discussed his testimony in depth and his journey of self-representation in court - along with what he's learned and the wisdom he'd impart to others in similar situations. This time around, Brian is here to fill us in on what's happened since the last time he was on along including discussing the corruption of the magistrate judge in Brian's breach of contract case against former federal court of appeals judge Richard Posner, some media attention his story has been garnering, the truth about impeachment, and so much more. Understanding the court system is a cog in the wheel that doesn't get talked about nearly enough - and most people don't care until they fall victim to these corrupt systems who depend on their ignorance and trust. Brian's testimony and the information he shares illustrate the various ways the courts operate under their own rules and jurisdiction that permeates beyond man's law, and how to prepare and interact with the court's rules of engagement with the confidence of a hero - just as Brian does… and is.WATCH BRIAN'S FIRST EPISODE ON 'THE IMAGINATION'": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqYVE-R4IV4RECOMMENDED READING FROM THIS EPISODE: -Brian's Feature in 'Bold Journey': https://boldjourney.com/meet-brian-vukadinovich/-Kansas City Star Feature: https://www.kansascity.com/opinion/readers-opinion/guest-commentary/article290122299.html?fbclid=IwY2xjawFAK3NleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHTSgJf5PJj23ozEasVYLkO9fNytdv8KoRJjJA_fRKbcNZZg1C-j26quyGA_aem_mb1db66K182oLq6jTNSHmg-Law 360 Article: https://www.law360.com/pulse/daily-litigation/articles/1867907/posner-s-ex-staffer-blasts-judicial-thuggery-in-dq-bidSupport the show

Today I'm honored to introduce you to: Judicial Corruption and Court Reform victim and advocate, writer and author, content creator, retired teacher, basketball coach, and a man who is single-handedly - and successfully - taking on the court system, Brian Vukadinovich. I met Brian recently on Twitter and when I saw his body of work and what he was advocating for, I knew we had to bring him on the podcast to corroborate what countless guests have shared about the court system being corrupt as well as functioning as a child trafficking racket. Like many advocates, Brian's passion for bringing awareness to the corruption within the court system began with a personal experience gone wrong and the integrity to want to make it right.Brian is a retired teacher and basketball coach in Indiana and has served as executive director of The Posner Center of Justice for Pro Se's based in Chicago, Illinois for retired federal court of appeals judge Richard A. Posner. He has successfully represented himself in state and federal court proceedings in Indiana including winning a federal jury verdict against his former public school corporation employer in Indiana in March 2016 for violating his due process rights in a five-day trial where he represented himself against the corporation's team of lawyers.He has received national acclaim for his self-representation ability.

      Slam the Gavel welcomes back Brian Vukadinovich to the podcast. Brian is the author of Motion for Justice: I Rest My Case and Rogues in Black Robes. Brian was last on the podcast Season 4, Episodes 69, 99 and 119 and Season 5, Episodes 13, 37 and 44.      On our show today and he will discuss his pending federal court lawsuit against a very famous judge, Richard A. Posner, formerly of the United States Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit in Chicago where he was on the bench for almost 36 years before he retired in 2017 over disagreements with the other judges about how PRO SE'S were being TREATED in the Seventh Circuit.  He read about how Brian represented himself in a five day federal civil rights jury trial in 2016 and how Brian beat a team of corporation lawyers at the five day jury trial where he was awarded more than $200,000 by the jury for the school corporation's violation of his due process rights. When they terminated his employment as a teacher, and in 2018 Posner asked Brian to come work for him in his newly created company "Posner Center for Pro Se's" to help unrepresented litigants and agreed to pay Brian $120,000 a year to serve as the executive director of the Posner Center and to also provide advisory services to Posner in Posner's personal capacity.  But Posner REFUSED TO PAY  him for his work and Brian had to take him to court for BREACH OF CONTRACT.       Brian is representing himself and is battling lawyers from 3 DIFFERENT STATES (New York, Chicago and Indiana) in the case.  Recently, there was a hearing in the federal court and Brian tried to get the judge to take JUDICIAL NOTICE of a PERJURED AFFIDAVIT that the New York lawyer, Justin M. Ellis, signed under penalty of perjury.  The judge, after rethinking things over DECIDED TO ADMIT THE DOCUMENT into the record, and that's when it hit the fan: when the New York Lawyer started to WHINE and BACKPEDAL, trying to cover the perjury.       HOWEVER, magistrate judge, Joshua Kolar, has been accepted to be a federal court of appeals judge at the U.S. Court of Appeals in Chicago, the SAME COURT that Posner was at.  Brian gave us updates on his case and now that the case is back in Judge Theresa L.

Not only in writing letters to the judiciary complaint boards, take those "non-response" letters and then share them with other numerous outlets such as letters to the editor, google reviews and State Representatives.

    Slam the Gavel welcomes back Brian Vukadinovich to the podcast. Brian was last on the podcast April 1st, 2023, Season 4, Episode 69. Brian is a retired educator in Indiana and has served as executive director of The Posner Center of Justice for Pro Se's based in Chicago, Illinois for retired federal court of appeals judge Richard A. Posner.       Successfully REPRESENTING himself in state and federal court proceedings in Indiana, Brian Vukadinovich won a FEDERAL JURY verdict against his former public school corporation employer in Indiana in March 2016 for VIOLATING his DUE PROCESS RIGHTS. In a five day trial where he successfully represented himself against the corporation's team of lawyers, he has received national acclaim for his self-representation ability and is believed to be the only person who has ever won a federal CIVIL RIGHTS JURY TRIAL by representing himself WITHOUT a lawyer.       At present time, Brian is litigating a Breach of Contract case against Richard Posner, a former Federal Court of Appeals Judge in the 7th Circuit In Chicago. At one time, Richard Posner had hired Brian as Executive Director of the Posner Center of Justice and had agreed to pay him $120,000.00 per year.  That never happened. Apparently, this former judge used Brian Vukadinovich for his work, but when the time came to PAY for his hard work, Posner used him for his work and then blew him off.

 Slam the Gavel welcomes back Brian Vukadinovich to the podcast. Brian was last on the podcast April 1st, 2023, Season 4, Episode 69. Brian is a retired educator in Indiana and has served as executive director of The Posner Center of Justice for Pro Se's based in Chicago, Illinois for retired federal court of appeals judge Richard A. Posner.       Successfully REPRESENTING himself in state and federal court proceedings in Indiana, Brian Vukadinovich won a FEDERAL JURY verdict against his former public school corporation employer in Indiana in March 2016 for VIOLATING his DUE PROCESS RIGHTS. In a five day trial where he successfully represented himself against the corporation's team of lawyers, he has received national acclaim for his self-representation ability and is believed to be the only person who has ever won a federal CIVIL RIGHTS JURY TRIAL by representing himself WITHOUT a lawyer.       At present time, Brian is litigating a Breach of Contract case against Richard Posner, a former Federal Court of Appeals Judge in the 7th Circuit In Chicago. At one time, Richard Posner had hired Brian as Executive Director of the Posner Center of Justice and had agreed to pay him $120,000.00 per year.  That never happened. Apparently, this former judge used Brian Vukadinovich for his work, but when the time came to PAY for his hard work, Posner used him for his work and then blew him off. Then Posner's wife sent him a letter offering him ONLY $10,000.00.
