The Corrupt Judge" - a
book scheduled for publica
tion tomorrow.
Borkin, a lawyer and au
thor of two other widely read
works, spent 10 years compil
ing information to chronicle
the first book ever written on
the subject of judicial cor
ruption in America. Publisher
is Clarkson N. Potter, Inc.,
New York City.
"There have been compar
atively few corrupt Judges in
the past," he said In an Inter
view, "but the effects of their
corruption has reflected on
the character of the whole
bench."
Trying Times
He said, however, "These
are trying times for Judges of
weak character and bad in
vestments. The stock market
crash earlier this year was
exactly the sort of economic
crisis that tests a Judge's hon
esty in the face of financial
disaster."
The pattern of the past,' he
wrote in the book, has been
for "unsettled economic con
ditions, particularly those as
sociated with a depression,
coupled with a deteriorating
state of a Judge's financial
condition, (to) produce a cli
mate In which judicial cor
ruption can flourish."
He said "Insolvency and fi
nancial difficulty - resulting
from failing investments -are
the worst diseases that
can afflict a Judge. The pres
sure of creditors, plus at
tempts to recoup, have led to
ever deeper involvement.
"Not only were these judges
easy marks for corruptors,"
he wrote, "but they them
selves were driven to place
their Judicial function on the

market ... for susceptible lit
igants and lawyers.
Many businessmen and even
some Judges, he noted, "are
bound to have suffered finan
cial losses in the 1962 stock
market crash. Their mutual
difficulties might drive some
of them together into mutu
ally agreeable transactions to
cover these losses."
Statements Urged
To prevent the emergence
of new corrupt Judges, he
said, the supreme court
should step in under its rule
making power and require
statements from all circuit
and district court judges re
garding their extrajudicial
business activities.
Borkin suggested that
"these reports, of course,
should remain confidential,
available only to the (su
preme) court and a special
master, to be appointed with
the power to call for further
data if necessary."
Without interfering with
the right of a judge to invest
and manage his assets, he said,
"lawyers, litigants, colleagues
and the public generally
could rest more securely con
fident that a judge's private
business activity is within the
bounds of propriety and legal
ity." "The Corrupt Judge" scans
the history of misconduct in
the U.S. Federal judiciary,
with depth studies of the
cases of three of the most
prominent judges to fall from
the bench.
Three Identified
These three were: Martin
T. Manton, senior judge of the
U.S. 2nd circuit appeals court,
convicted in 1939 of a charge
of "conspiracy to sell justice,"
fined $10,000 and sentenced
to two years in prison; John
Warren Davis, senior judge
of the U.S. 3rd circuit appeals
court, whose resignation
waiving pension and retire
ment rights in 1941 stopped
impeachment p r o c e edings;
and Albert W. Johnson, fed
eral judge of the middle dis
trict of Pennsylvania, who
also chose retirement and re
nunciation of pension rights
to halt impeachment proceed
ings. Borkin commented that
"when one considers that at
least two of the bribes made
to federal judges were in ex
cess of $250,000, one can
readily see how even a few
corruDt Judges can poison the
well of Justice."
In 1942, Borkin was co-author
of a study of cartels -"Germany's
Master Plan, the
Story of the Industrial Offen
sive" - which reached the
best seller lists. He co-authored
"Television: A Struggle
for Power," in 1938.
