Dears All,

You are aware that there have been several important developments during the last year on matters relating to Judicial Accountability, in particular, the issue of disclosure of assets by judges, the judicial scandals relating to the Ghaziabad provident fund scam, the Chandigarh cash-at-judges-door scam, the Justice Dinakaran appointment controversy, etc. These and others have brought the issue of Judicial Accountability centre stage. It has become an important public issue discussed a good deal in the media. However, in order for this to lead to the required reforms, one needs to bring focused public pressure to bear on the government, members of parliament and the judiciary.

In order to discuss the specific constitutional and legislative amendments required in the system of appointments of judges and for inquiring into complaints against judges and in order to decide our Campaign strategy, the Campaign for Judicial Accountability and Reform is organising the 3rd National Convention on Judicial Accountability and Reforms. The convention will be held in the Main Auditorium, Nehru Memorial Museum and Library, Teen Murti House, New Delhi, from 10a.m. – 6p.m. on the 6th of February 2010. The focus of the convention will squarely be on appointments and complaints against judges. This is an important convention at a very critical juncture and if we adopt an effective Campaign strategy, it can lead to important reforms in the system of appointments and complaints.

As Shakespeare says, "There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune… And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures."
Lets use this time of tide and take it to flood, taking the current when it serves.

Several prominent persons who have been involved in and have been speaking out on this issue will be present to address the convention. We will soon be sending you the background paper and agenda for the convention.

We invite you to attend this important convention along with relevant members from your organizations. Please do send in your confirmations by email or call us at (0)9958146804.

with warm regards,

Prashant Bhushan
