Family Courts are notoriously secretive, like the Star Chamber in England, which was abolished approximately four centuries ago.
Transparency is indispensable for deterring Family Court abuses, including judicial bias or witness perjury.
Dr. Bandy Lee’s lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey challenges the constitutionality of the secrecy cloud that hovers over Family Courts nationwide. The Judge in Dr. Lee’s case censored her writing about Family Court proceedings, ordering it removed from the Internet and holding her in contempt. Under threat of imprisonment, she is ordered not to speak or write about the serious abuses she has professionally witnessed and uncovered — a prior restraint in blatant violation of the First Amendment.
Both Doctor Lee and her constitutionally acclaimed Attorney Bruce Fein are available to media — bandy@bandylee.com & bruce@feinpoints.com.
Dr. Lee has appeared on many media programs and authored bestselling books. Much has been written about her, including this major article: “The Psychiatrist who Warned Us that Trump would Unleash Violence was Absolutely Right,” and many others linked at her website BandyLee.com.
Chief Judge of Family Court Jane Gallina-Mecca, who tolerates chronic abuses of due process and free speech violations, in order to hide gross human rights violations, will be referred to the New Jersey Senate to consider impeachment proceedings guided by Mr. Fein.

Long Version:
DR. BANDY LEE FILES LAWSUIT TO PROTECT FREE SPEECH
IMPEACHMENT TO FOLLOW
New York City
Contact: (917) 328–2492
Psychiatrist and medical doctor, Bandy X. Lee, M.D. (bandylee.com), has just filed an important First Amendment case in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. Famed constitutional lawyer and scholar, Bruce Fein, Esq., is her attorney from Washington, DC.
Both Doctor Lee and Attorney Fein are available to speak with the media about this important matter — bandy@bandylee.com & bruce@feinpoints.com
Dr. Lee previously boldly stood up to Yale University — where she taught at the medical and law schools for 17 years — at the very onset of academic censorship and violations of Free Speech in our era. She has been applauded for doing so by a large number of legal scholars and fellow psychiatrists, including such renowned persons as Harvard Law School Professor Laurence Tribe, former White House Chief Ethics Counsel Richard Painter, and eminent psychiatrists and other professionals.
Dr. Lee became nationally known for her bestselling book, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President. She has appeared on many media programs and has written a number of other important books, all available on Amazon. Much has been written about her, including this major article: “The Psychiatrist Who Warned Us that Donald Trump Would Unleash Violence was Absolutely Right,” and many others linked at her website, BandyLee.com, or that of the World Mental Health Coalition, of which she is President.
Now, Dr. Lee is again fighting for Free Speech. She has filed a federal case because a dangerously corrupt and grossly unjust Family Court in New Jersey is attempting to censor her writings, ordering them removed from the Internet, and holding her in contempt under threat of imprisonment if she speaks or writes about the serious abuses she has professionally witnessed and uncovered.
Far from adjudicating the Law, Family Courts ironically function more like criminal enterprises, where the most heinous crimes are being committed against the most vulnerable members of society with impunity. Thousands of children and women have died unnecessarily, and hundreds of thousands of others have endured unspeakable suffering.
Shortly after Dr. Lee began speaking about the horrors she was witnessing in the Family Court system, she was stalked, harassed, and at one point falsely arrested. It was very apparent to her that she had become a threat to a corrupt 50-billion-dollars-a-year enterprise.
She came to the recognition that abuses in Family Courts are above all a First Amendment problem. She notes: “There is a reason why Free Speech is in the very First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, as the first defense against abuses of power.”
Attorney Fein notes: “Family courts are notorious for discounting claims of domestic violence against women and minors. The phenomenon has been meticulously documented by the Human Rights Council of the United Nations General Assembly, 53rd session, 19 June-14 July 2023, Agenda item 3, Report of the Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, its causes and consequences, 13 April 2023.”
For the past two years, Dr. Lee has been investigating the severe abuses of power in the Family Courts throughout America, having become aware of the situation through her sister, who lost custody of her children without fault or due process to a compromised Family Court and then was undermined, financially drained, and targeted to the point where her life was threatened, so that she could not fight back.
The District Court lawsuit just filed is brought against a judge who ordered the unconstitutional takedown of articles about these abuses. Chief Judge of Family Court Jane Gallina-Mecca, who tolerates chronic abuses of due process and free speech violations, in order to effectuate gross human rights violations, will be referred to the New Jersey Senate to consider impeachment proceedings. Attorney Fein, who helped impeach three U.S. presidents, will be writing the articles of impeachment.
The critical issues Dr. Lee raises in her lawsuit about the violation of her constitutional First Amendment rights, and the impeachment of the head Family Court judge for her human rights abuses, are of considerable national importance.
