Pro Se Pro Bono's mission is to identify the masterminds behind an Anti-Whistleblower law imposed by the law society executive on its members,  and property transfer fraud at Land Title Offices in British Columbia promoted by a run of law society executives.

On Bruce LeRose becoming president in 2012, the law society website was changed so that those seeking information on lawyers who are caught up in fraud, would not be able to trace the cabal of lawyers who support that lawyer.   LeRose's mission is to stop lawyers who are acting pro bono for pro se who have been defrauded.

Special Prosecutor David Butcher is far too closely linked to protection of the executive of LSBC --- and the the RCMP, and VPD ---- to be a special prosecutor.

Member Alert:  The BC law society executive provides a service to lawyers who have been caught committing fraud in filings in BC Courts.  The law society executive accepts the lawyer's application for protection and downgrades the fraud to an "inadvertant omission" --- lawyerspeak for the lawyer never intended to get caught --- that he or she believed they could slip it past the other party.  By classing it as an inadvertant omission, the executive can distribute the cost of protection over the membership. 

On Sheldon Goldberg being coerced to step down on 1 Aug 2009, the Executive began protection for R. Keith Oliver, by taking a similar action against the pro bono lawyer who was for the pro se person he had defrauded.  Gordon Turriff had brought in a mole from Gowlings, Eric Wredenhagen  passing him off as a young staff lawyer newly joined the BC bar, and when Wredenhagen was outed in 6 Nov 2009 on the fact he had been 10 years with Gowlings, the law society executive brought in Henry Wood as his replacement.   Wredenhagen left to work for the teachers union.

Deborah Armour Chief Legal Officer CONFIDENTIAL April 21, 2011 Re: R. Keith Oliver "The Discipline Committee has adopted the recommendation of the Subcommittee that no further action be taken against Mr. Oliver. The complaint file will now be closed."

Deborah Armour as chief legal officer is the superior to all the staff lawyers.

Insurance Group lawyer employees tasked to shift blatant fraud by lawyers to member funded insurance claims --- an act of fraud in itself --- are Margrett George; along with lawyers tasked to take applications to court to snuff out cases against lawyers caught in blatant fraud, are Ian Maclaren and Edna Ritchie. 

There is a growing concern with the Law Society of British Columbia, now led by 2012 President Bruce LeRose, still continuing to avoid oversight in 2012  ---  oversight is mandated in other jurisdictions such as England, Wales, New Zealand and Australia, and soon to be enacted in Arizona, Ireland, etc. and appears to be coming to British Columbia.  Gordon Turriff on just have returned from Western Australia for the annual meeting and having boasted there of his judical independence --- after having coerced Sheldon Golberg to step down on 1 Aug 2009, and got LeRose elected on 29 Aug 2009, then authorized a backroom rethink of a potential discipline hearing that expired, with roll-back for a citation to be issued by Stuart Cameron to shield Keith Oliver.

Meanwhile, the law society is now led by the mastermind of the recently enacted anti-Whistleblower law. 
 
The lack of oversight is pivotal to the law society insurance fund lawyers going to court to act in the interests of lawyers who have been caught having commited serious fraud.  The membership --- 10,000 lawyers can't all be dishonest --- needs to be concerned that their membership fees are going to fund costly law society staff to act for lawyers who have committed fraud.

Bruce LeRose was sworn-in on 27 January 2012 by Chief Judge Lance Finch.  Finch makes it known that he was appointed in 1983 --- after his participation in a remarkable case --- at the invitation of the Chief Judge of the day, and moved up to the court of appeal as a judge in an equally remarkable case to shield the law firm of the CJ of the day, and replaced the chief judge on his mandatory retirement in May 2001 who himself needed protection in an even more remarkable case, on his return to his old firm.  

Mr. LeRose needs to abandon his fantasies of ever becoming a judge.

Bruce LeRose first started working on a kind of anti-whistleblower law in about Sep/Oct 2007 while on a discipline panel with his predeccessor, Gavin Hume, to further punish Sheldon Goldberg for attempting to overturn a blatant wrongful conviction, in response to a complaint by chief judge Finch in 18 Dec 2003. 

Unseemly elections: On Sep 2008 and Aug 28, 2009, Hume and LeRose were each elected to the law society executive, each rewarded for inventing new law ---
1. For their combined work on having coerced Sheldon Goldberg to step down on 1 Aug 2009 for 5 years, who was coerced under threat of having to turn over his computer to LeRose and Hume --- by way of a threat of seizure by David Butcher without a court order;
2. For Gavin Hume protecting staff lawyer Eric Wredenhagen in 2008 who was later outed on his being wrongfully hired by Gordon Turriff in 2007.  Hume acted in the interest of Gordon Turriff days prior to his election to the executive in Sep 2008. 
3. Turriff himself got elected to the executive in Sep 2001 on a pledge to president Richard Margetts to act in the interests of Margetts in the matter of lawyer Jon Oldroyd, who had stole millions from seniors in the Victoria area, and was headed for discipline hearing while Margetts continued acting for Oldroyd.
The law society is now  mandating the changes it has slipped through to the Land Title Act that is counter to the laws of British Columbia on matters of hard copy and electronic documents, and counter to every known democracy on matters of sub-delegation, all of which will increase opportunities for property transfer fraud.  A group of 17 straight-up lawyers in the CBA expressed a concern in 9 Sep 2008, and challenged the then LTO Director Ian Smith who on having lost has now gone underground and is coaching his replacements in New Westminster LTO.

Click here to feel the radiation that will start blowing in with new e-filing from the hedge funds in Grand Cayman Island adminstered by lawyers from Davis & Co, who moved there in Jan 2000 to become judges there, Martin Taylor, Alexander Henderson, and Dale Sanderson.  The story still resonates of how Henderson went to jail for too much 'judicial independence'.

Lance Finch was invited by Chief Justice Allan McEachern to apply to become a judge after his remarkable action in a leading case.
Chief Justice Lance Finch has expressed the view that all Pro Se should be under control of the Pro Bono group controlled by the law society of BC  --- aka the justice system's bait-n-switch group.  No lay litigant, especially one with property in play, should be so naive as to believe that a lawyer who is paid by the law society will be acting in their interests.  Such lawyers are entirely focused on how they can get at the pro se's resources  --- the MO of these schemes is to defraud the pro se of their entire networth so that they have nothing left to fight back with, once they find how they have been defrauded.   “Middle-class litigants find themselves priced out of the commercial legal market, but have incomes too high to qualify for pro bono services,” Justice Finch said. 

1.   Read what Justice Wendy Baker did to Mrs. Ruby Mills as she transfered Mrs. Mills property to Martin Wirick.  If Judges Lance Finch and/or Beverley McLachlin were sincere he/she would start by transfering the property Martin Wirick stole from Mrs. Mills back to Mrs. Ruby Mills.  The Baker judgment is egregious on its face. 
2.   Read how in 1999, when 80-year old Wilbert Owen Kennedywas defrauded of his property he hired a BC lawyer, but his lawyers never pressed his case for him ---- left him twisting in the wind --- forcing Kennedy to settle in 2001 for less that half his property's value.  Newly elected A-G Geoff Plant approved the cost of the settlement onto the public purse by way of the LTO Assurance Fund.  The Biskupskis recently added another property --- with the help of e-filing and fraud at the Corporate Registry under a fraudulent company, BrightWave Builders Inc.
3.   Read how Justice Mary Southin snuffed out the appeals of Interclaim who was acting for 4,000 American Elders who were defrauded of $200 million by order of Justice Donald Brenner.  Interclaim was ordered to pay $1.8 million in costs, payable forwith, in any event of the cause, for appealling 13th century Champerty law.   The $1.8 million was mainly for legal fees paid to lawyers who were McEachern's partners again on his retirement.  It is reasonable to conclude that Justice Lance Finch was at all times the go-between Justice Donald Brenner and Chief Justice Allan McEachern until McEachern reached mandatory retirement age in May 2001 --- and he would have continued in the loop until McEachern died in Jan 2008.

     The Law Society's plan is to impose mandatory e-filing on 12 Jan 2012 to transfer property, and has also indicated it will be directing users that they should destroy all hardcopy documents --- a directive solely in aid of LTO fraudsters --- the purpose of which is to hide and avoid the need for original signatures, and destroy all means for tracing the persons making fraudulent property transfers, and thereby facilitating the use of straw buyers, the registering of fraudulent mortgages, facilitating identity theft for property transfer, etc. --- to defraud seniors of their property.  If e-filing with destruction of documents had been in place in 1998, the 1999 president of the law society  Warren Wilson would have made sure all the evidence was destroyed. 

In the interim, this notice by the law society on destruction of documents, says in effect that those lawyers and notaries who have so far refused to give disclosure of signatures on LTO documents, should hold out for another year and the requirement that they give disclosure on demand will be moot.

The justice system of BC is now at the tipping point of a meltdown.
      In 2001, the law society of British Columbia accelerated its moves to seize control of property transfer in BC, during the first four years of Liberal government in BC, immediately with Geoff Plant becoming attorney general and law society de facto bencher, and his room-mate Gordon Campbell becoming premier.  
  The move to mandatory electronic filing was driven by lawyer greed and a stated need to slough-off onto the public the increasing cost of lawyer crimes, particularly triggered by the more than 300 mortgage frauds of lawyer Martin Wirick --- totalling $90 million --- by grossing up ordinary property transfer fees --- as stated by 2002 president Richard Gibbs.
    In 2002, in a first step, the law society and then attorney general Geoff Plant, created the Business Corporations Act, S.B.C. 2002, c.57,  for e-filing of Corporate Registrations which he put through in 2004, where lawyers could erase evidence of the corporations they created and the shares and directorships they held in those companies like Eron Mortgage.   The law society of BC advance to running a shell game --- better described as an e-filing shell game.
      Over the last ten years, the law society has grown to become the principal facilitator of property transfer fraud in BC  --- bracketed at both ends by Mr. Geoff Plant, first as attorney general and now as law society's designate for member of board for e-filing without signatures.  
     The RCMP is itself a matter of urgent concern from British Columbia to Ottawa.
     The probate registry was made an easy place to defraud persons of their property.  Martin Wirick is known to have worshiped there, read Justice Wendy Baker's saga on the Robbery of Ruby Mills.  The law society does not punish lawyers who prey there, but it does publish a notice to the public asking it to report lawyers who may be still preying there.  It is for President Gavin Hume to explain this lame regulation practise.
