Elena Sassower is co-founder and director of the Center for Judicial Accountability, Inc., a national non-partisan, non-profit citizens’ organization that for more than 30 years has been documenting how judges break the law and get away with it.

She is the daughter of not just one judicial whistleblower, Doris L. Sassower, but two.  Her father, who died in January 2019, was George Sassower, who -- years before her mother -- was viciously retaliated against and stripped of his law license. 

Having been raised by such courageous legal giants, Elena formally joined the battle against judicial corruption in 1990. 

She is the moving force behind CJA's commitment to evidence-based advocacy. 

Its specialty is documenting how judges “throw” cases by fraudulent judicial decisions that falsify, distort, and conceal the facts and controlling law, and cover-up and reward the litigation fraud of attorneys – including government attorneys – and the complete worthlessness of all purported safeguards.

Among her battle scars, her six-month incarceration in 2004 on a trumped-up "disruption of Congress" charge for respectfully requesting to testify about documentary evidence establishing the corruption of a federal judicial nominee at the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee's public hearing on his confirmation.
