Judge Terence M. Sheen
Circuit Court of the 18th Judicial Circuit
DuPage County
505 N. County Farm Road
Wheaton, IL 60187-3907

Dear Judge Sheen:

Your letter dated October 15, 1998 provided further evidence that you lack the knowledge of the law and provided evidence that you do not comply with the law.

Black's Law Dictionary (6th Edition) defines ex-parte as "One side only; by or for one party; done for, in behalf of, or on the application of, one party only."

Citizens provided you with certain information that it had obtained from the Supreme Court of Illinois, to prevent further "fraud upon the court" by attorneys practicing before your court. Citizens acted not on behalf of any one party, but on behalf of the public and the law.

The providing of information by any third party to the court relative to unlawful actions by attorneys is not an ex-parte communication. We suggest that your letter is an attempt to cover-up your connivance with, and complicity with, the unlawful actions of the law firm that is prohibited to practice law in Illinois.

Apparently you do not know the law, nor respect the law, nor are you interested in applying or complying with the law. Your actions do not promote public confidence in the judiciary, but instead has placed the Illinois judiciary in disrepute.

Supreme Court Rule 62(A) [Illinois Code of Judicial Conduct] states that "A judge should respect and comply with the law and should conduct himself or herself at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary."

DuPage County deserves competent judges. A judge who does not know the law and who does not comply with the law is not a competent judge.

Yours truly,

CITIZENS FOR LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY
