Today 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 Vukadinovich

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. 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.
