| Summary | The story reveals how Cuyahoga county's judges have become heavily dependent on campaign contributions from the hundreds of lawyers assigned to represent the poor- and who share millions of dollars in tax refund fees for doing it. The Dealer also details one particular story of a judge who diverted scores of cases over the past three years and authorized more than $1,000 in questionable fees to a single lawyer. |
