NOTICE: REQUEST FOR LEGAL REPRESENTATION IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA

This is a formal request for legal representation in Van Detta v. State of Georgia et al. (1:06-cv-0052) and Van Detta v. Van Detta et al. (1:06-cv-1339) complaints pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.

My Recast Complaint in 1:06-CV-0052 was filed March 12, 2007. My Recast Complaint in 1:06-CV-1339 was filed March 28, 2007. Both cases are legally and factually complex and involve issues of first impression, constitutional claims, and various tort and contract claims.

The District Judge has issued Orders in both cases stating the District Judge will not rule on whether either of my Recast Complaints comply with Rule 8 of the FRCP until after service of process. Service of process was effectuated for both complaints, but numerous issues regarding proper service were raised in Defendants’ pleadings thus the District Judge rule service must be perfected on all Defendants for both Recast Complaints.

I have obtained summons for all Defendants for each capacity in which they are sued.

Service for 1:06-CV-0052 has to be done prior to July 10, 2007. However, I anticipate that service will be perfected in June.

I am looking for an experienced, non-politically connected attorney who is committed to protecting the rights of citizens infringed upon by the State and can independently challenge the Office of Bar Admissions, the Board to Determine Character & Fitness of Bar Applicants, and other politically connected Defendants and who will take either of these two cases all the way to the United States Supreme Court.

Background

For more information on the legal wrangling which has exponentially expanded since May 2005, see www.jmlsatlanta.info and www.alpjusticepact.org.

Van Detta v. State of Georgia et al. (1:06-CV-0052) was grounded in JMLS’ actions involving a student in a prior lawsuit and the results of that involvement on my character and fitness application, and the State of Georgia’s retaliation for my filing suit against the law school and challenges the lack of procedural safeguards in the review of an applicant’s fitness application.

Later, when the attorney for JMLS appeared at my first custody hearing in Douglas County Juvenile Court and was allowed to remain as an “observer”, and other events occurred, I filed 1:06-CV-1339. That lawsuit challenges a Georgia statute which allows incarcerations in domestic relations matters without a right of appeal, and brings various claims regarding what I have alleged was JMLS’s interference in my custody trial which I believe they are doing to bootstrap the Fitness Board’s still “tentative” denial of my fitness application---basically the same reason JMLS involved me in Meltz v. John Marshall---after the fact evidence used to support his termination---after the fact information to distract the “tentative” denial of my fitness application by destroying my character in a “domestic relations” matter.

The original complaint against John Marshall Law School was filed May 2005 in Fulton County Superior Court. Since that time, no Defendant in any court (I voluntarily dismissed the action in Fulton County and re-filed in United States District Court to consolidate claims against the State of Georgia and John Marshall Law School and others) have filed a Motion to Dismiss any claim based on the merits of the claim. One counter-claim was filed against me in Fulton County Superior Court, which was immediately dismissed when I threaten to file an abusive litigation claim if that counter-claim was not dismissed immediately.

My claims are not frivolous, my research is detailed and meticulous, but my litigation and pleading skills are lacking, to say the least. As a law school graduate, I believed the cases would be litigated on the elements of the claim. They have not been as all Defendants have sought to delay and evade answering, except for JMLS’ answer in Fulton County Superior Court which admitted the “institution” legally and actually benefited from my involvement in the Meltz v. John Marshall lawsuit, the involvement which cost me the entire value of my legal education.

Judge Pannel (the judge in both cases) has issued many orders in both cases, all of which may seem harsh, but I believe he has been more than fair with my often unorthodox style of pleading. I agree with all of his rulings and regardless of the Order’s tone, the content for each ruling has been fair to me.

If you are interested in representing me in either of these two cases, please respond to:

Gina Van Detta
P.O. Box 1727
Temple, Georgia 30179

Or call me at (678) 576-6903.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Gina Van Detta

Are you "fit" and "moral" to attend a "for-profit" law school?

See www.johnmarshalllawschoolinc.info for the meaning of this quote to me, my family, my friends and my community when I sought justice from JMLS (Atlanta) for devaluing the degree I sought from the "institution” and the “results far beyond my contemplation” that JMLS’s attorney threatened before I filed my first lawsuit in Fulton County Superior Court...results I realized in my custody trial last year (see www.alpjusticepact.org).

This website is based on my litigation against John Marshall Law School (Atlanta), but the focus is also on providing information to law students on character & fitness reviews in Georgia and in other states, based on the still "tentative" denial of my fitness application---evaluations which, in Georgia, can examine an applicant's "innermost feelings".

The website contains extensive pleadings I have filed regarding the "tentative" denial of my fitness application to sit for the Georgia bar examination---pleadings that are usually confidential. However, my pleadings were published by the Georgia Department of Law in response to appeals I filed in the Supreme Court of Georgia so I have included those pleadings in hopes that it helps other law students faced with a “tentative" denial of their fitness application.
