New York Times bestselling author Dr. Bandy X. Lee scarcely remains silent when she sees dangers to the public. She taught at the Yale School of Medicine and Yale Law School for 17 years, and has been a global leader in prison reform, community violence prevention, and reductions in structural violence. Her books have reached national bestselling status and have been used by former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley and consulted as a definitive reference by former White House Chief of Staff General John Kelly. Her highly-acclaimed textbook, Violence, is considered the most comprehensive to date and used in universities worldwide.

Since 2022, Dr. Lee has been investigating and writing, perhaps for the first time in such depth, about the full extent of the corruption, injustice, and human rights violations in America’s Family Courts. She has been trying to sound the alarm about the tens of thousands of children who are being sacrificed every year, year after year, because of Family Court violence. A notorious Family Court judge, who is now facing impeachment proceedings, Judge Jane Gallina-Mecca, has repeatedly attempted to intimidate and threaten Dr. Lee with a scorched-earth campaign of unconstitutional censorship.

Despite all efforts to silence her and to force her into submission, Dr. Lee has now published a number of extraordinary books — five books in five days — including her her stunning testimony before the influential Arizona Senate Ad Hoc Committee on Family Court Orders. Through these books, readers can learn as never before about what is horrifyingly happening in the deep, dark recesses of the so-called “Family Courts.” These “Anti-Courts,” as Dr. Lee calls them, are entirely detached from the Law and need to be immediately greatly reformed or abolished, Dr. Lee concludes.

Because of the great importance of what Dr. Lee is exposing about America’s seriously corrupt Family Court system, celebrated Washington Constitution attorney, Bruce Fein, Esq., who has helped impeach three presidents, has joined with Dr. Lee in bringing legal proceedings against Judge Gallina-Mecca to protect Dr. Lee’s free speech. He will also be drafting the articles of her impeachment.

Judge Gallina-Mecca is now threatening to have Dr. Lee and her sister driven out of their home and subjected to unconscionable financial charges and possible imprisonment. Dr. Lee’s sister’s two children were seized by violent police raid from her four years ago, under false charges that were immediately dropped, but the children were never returned. As Dr. Lee wrote about what happened, entirely outside of constitutional bounds, dozens of similar victims of Judge Gallina-Mecca came forward, and the petition for her impeachment has exceeded 2700 signatures. Please read in Dr. Lee’s many publications about the grounds for the impeachment, as well as the criminal charges that should follow, in a judicial campaign that causes the Pennsylvania “Kids for Cash” scandal to pale in comparison.

Journalists and major podcasters are urged to review Dr. Lee’s new books and to interview her about the Family Courts. Dr. Lee can be reached at Bandy@BandyLee.com, and her website is BandyLee.com.
