inslaw_case.article

richard Fricker's article decribing, in detail, the INSLAW case-software piracy, conspiracy, cover-up, stonewalling, and covert action by the department of justice. briefly...the U.S. Department of Justice "took, converted, stole" software belonging to INSLAW, a Washington-based computer software firm. In 1982, INSLAW signed a $10 million contract to install its case-tracking software, PROMIS (Prosecutor's Management Information System) in the Justice Department's offices. But instead of honoring the contract, Bason asserts, Justice officials proceeded to purposefully drive the small software company into bankruptcy, and then tried to push it into liquidation, engaging in an "outrageous, deceitful, fraudulent game of cat and mouse, demonstrating contempt for both the law and any principle of fair dealing."

august 1992 posting of the INSLAW Case: part I of "BARRON'S" 1988 2-part piece. Although these 2 articles are dated by more than 3 1/2 succeeding years-worth of newer revelations and mounting evidence of cynical corruption at the highest levels of the executive branch, as well as linkages into the judicial branch of the u.s. government, they still provide very useful and well-researched background material. Includes maggie Mahar's essay ' Beneath Contempt Did the Justice Dept. Deliberately Bankrupt INSLAW?'
