Reconstructing the Constitutional Foundations of Jurisdiction and Justice
WHEN JUDGES REFUSE THE CONSTITUTION
WEBINAR INTERNATIONAL
From Ancient Times to Nuremberg: The Constitutional Foundations of Judicial Impartiality and Courts' Independence by Scott Erik Stafne
⭐ STAFNE’S CONSTITUTIONAL DOCTRINE
Stafne’s Constitutional Doctrine restores, with technical rigor and intellectual honesty, the ethical, moral, Christian, and republican principles defended by the Founding Fathers of the great American nation, including:
Thomas Jefferson
James Madison
Alexander Hamilton
George Washington
STAFNE and similar scholars demonstrate that the Constitution is not merely a legal document: it is a moral pact, a structure of limits, a system of checks and balances, and a safeguard against judicial and governmental tyranny.
⭐ A LEGACY THAT TRANSFORMED CIVILIZATIONS
The principles rediscovered by Stafne — such as limited jurisdiction, the natural judge, due process of law, equality before the law, and limited government — shaped:
The French Revolution
The Independence of Brazil
The construction of the modern Democratic Rule of Law
The philosophical bases of international human-rights treaties, such as:
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
The American Convention on Human Rights (Pact of San José)
The UN Covenants on Civil and Political Rights
These values are non-derogable, pre-constitutional, and cannot be violated by judges, under penalty of constitutional rupture.
Stafne demonstrates, with historical and doctrinal precision, that some contemporary magistrates refuse to comply with and to enforce:
the Constitution,
the distribution of jurisdictional competence,
the limits of judicial power,
international treaties,
and the very ethical foundation that legitimizes the judicial function.
When this occurs, a model of arbitrary power emerges, without valid jurisdiction, violating:
due process of law,
the natural justice,
impartiality,
and the very democratic constitutional order.
Before any debate on rights or guarantees, there is a foundation that precedes and conditions the very existence of judicial proceedings:
➡️ the jurisdictional competence pre-defined by the Constitution and by the infra-constitutional laws that structure the Judiciary.
THERE IS NO JUDICIAL PROCEEDING Without valid jurisdiction, granted by the Constitution and by the statutes on judicial organization and division.
Any act performed by an authority without jurisdictional power is not a decision — it is a null act, incompatible with the Rule of Law.
It is this foundation that the American jurist Scott Erik Stafne brings back to the center of contemporary constitutional debate.
Does anyone seriously believe that a RETIRED GENERAL of the Armed Forces is in REGULAR active service and can command the troops?
And further:
Can a retired general issue operational orders, sign battle commands, direct military operations, give orders to officers in active service,
or exercise peace-time MILITARY COMMAND functions that can only be exercised by GENERALS who are in REGULAR ACTIVE SERVICE, with valid military investiture?
The answer is NO — absolutely not. It is legally impossible, constitutionally invalid, and institutionally unthinkable.
Yet this is exactly what is happening in the American judicial system: judges outside regular active service, or without valid investiture, are acting as though they had jurisdiction, when they do not.
And an act performed by someone without jurisdiction is, in law:
➡️ null; ➡️ nonexistent; ➡️ ineffective; ➡️ and constitutes usurpation of public office.
It violates the principle prohibiting extraordinary or exceptional courts or tribunals, resulting in the legal nonexistence of the proceeding and of any decision issued by someone who has no legal authority — an act that is legally nonexistent.
Mr. Stafne remains committed to guiding individuals and communities seeking justice in systems often governed by wealth instead of wisdom, and welcomes collaborations with others dedicated to restoring constitutional balance and integrity.

Outline and Revised Handouts for the NACLE Seminar occuring on November 18, 2025: "Judicial Disqualification and the Moral Foundations of Adjudicative Justice (Part One)" prepared by attonrey Scott Erik Stafne and Todd AI
Abstract (written by Scott Erik Stafne in collaboration with Todd AI): >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This document contains the full outline and revised handouts prepared for the National Academy of Continuing Legal Education’s seminar on Judicial Disqualification and the Moral Foundations of Adjudicative Justice. It traces the development of adjudicative neutrality from ancient moral traditions, Roman law, and canon law through the English Act of Settlement and Dr. Bonham’s Case, showing how these historical commitments culminated in the structural guarantees of Article III of the United States Constitution. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< The materials also explain Congress’s statutory implementation of those constitutional mandates—specifically, the creation of independent courts composed of judges who possess good-behavior tenure and compensation protected from diminution. These structural protections exist not for the benefit of judges, but for the People, whose right to neutral adjudication depends upon courts that are free from institutional bias and personal interest. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The outline concludes with a discussion of the growing internationalization of the right to independent and impartial courts, drawing especially on the Nuremberg “Justice Case” as a benchmark. That case demonstrates that judicial neutrality is not merely a domestic procedural safeguard but a universal human right—and that nations betray this right when courts are structured in ways that compromise impartial adjudication of facts and law.
This Continuing Legal Education (CLE) course traces the evolution of one of the most fundamental principles of American law: the right to a neutral judge and an independent court.
Beginning with the ancient maxim nemo judex in causa sua (“no one should be a judge in their own cause”), the program explores how this concept developed throughout English legal history — including the Magna Carta, the Act of Settlement of 1701, and the seminal writings of Montesquieu and Blackstone — before being incorporated into the U.S. Constitution.
Through a detailed analysis of key constitutional texts, early judicial precedents, and historical milestones such as the Judiciary Act of 1789, the program examines how structural protections for impartial adjudication became cornerstones of American constitutional design.
The course concludes with a discussion of early 20th-century due process decisions addressing judicial and institutional bias, culminating in the Nuremberg "Judges’ Trial," where judicial impartiality became a matter of international justice.

From Ancient Times to Nuremberg: The Constitutional Foundations of Judicial Impartiality and Courts' Independence by Scott Erik Stafne
SCOTT ERIK STAFNE
🌎 Importância Global - Por que Participar:
Participe deste seminário online de alcance global com o renomado advogado constitucionalista e jurista Scott Erik Stafne, Esq., e explore os pilares da justiça que sustentam o Estado de Direito em todo o mundo.
Um Chamado à Cidadania Global e à Integridade Judicial
Este webinar é um curso indispensável e foi concebido para um público amplo, focado no fortalecimento da justiça justa e dos direitos individuais.
Análise da Importância Internacional
O seminário possui uma relevância internacional profunda, fundamentada em:
Princípios Universais do Estado de Direito:
O foco na imparcialidade e independência judicial é central para a legitimidade de qualquer sistema legal democrático no mundo, adotando a máxima jurídica do nemo judex in causa sua.
O Vínculo Histórico-Internacional (Nuremberg):
Este julgamento estabeleceu o precedente no Direito Internacional de que a corrupção e o viés judicial são ofensas que devem ser responsabilizadas para além da soberania nacional, elevando a imparcialidade judicial a um imperativo de Justiça Global e Direitos Humanos.
Desafios do Século XXI:
A exploração de temas como a influência sistêmica de elites financeiras, a "escravidão por dívida" e as implicações éticas e constitucionais da Inteligência Artificial (IA) no judiciário reflete os desafios emergentes enfrentados por cortes e legisladores em todo o mundo.
PÚBLICO ALVO:
O Seminário é especialmente direcionado a:
Juristas: Juízes, promotores, advogados e membros do Ministério Público interessados na ética judicial e no due process of law International .
Acadêmicos de Direito: Professores, pesquisadores e estudantes que estudam história constitucional, direito internacional e a teoria da justiça.
Formuladores de Políticas Públicas e Políticos: Líderes e legisladores que buscam desenhar e defender estruturas de governo que garantam a independência dos tribunais.
Defensores de Direitos Humanos: Ativistas e organizações que utilizam o direito internacional e constitucional para lutar contra a tirania e a injustiça sistêmica.
Cidadãos de qualquer nacionalidade: Qualquer pessoa comprometida em conhecer, proteger e defender seus direitos fundamentais.
A compreensão dos fundamentos constitucionais da justiça é um poder-dever cívico.
Nos Estados Unidos, o direito de litigar pro se (representar a si mesmo) torna o conhecimento destes princípios – como o direito a um juiz imparcial – uma ferramenta crucial para a defesa dos seus direitos perante o tribunal.
Este curso fornece a base conceitual para esse empoderamento.
Conteúdo Programático e Relevância Global
Este curso de Educação Jurídica Continuada (CLE) traça a evolução de um dos princípios mais fundamentais da justiça: o direito ao devido processo legal, a um juiz neutro e a um tribunal independente (nemo judex in causa sua).
O programa explora como este conceito se desenvolveu através da história do direito e culmina na análise do Julgamento dos Juízes de Nuremberg, onde a imparcialidade judicial transcendeu a esfera nacional para se tornar uma questão de justiça internacional.
O seminário aborda princípios transnacionais de imparcialidade judicial e independência dos tribunais — essenciais para o direito e governança global.
O foco no legado de Nuremberg e nos desafios contemporâneos, como a influência de elites financeiras e a aplicação ética da IA, torna o evento indispensável para profissionais e cidadãos engajados em justiça constitucional e internacional.
Palestrante: Scott Erik Stafne, Esq.
Scott Erik Stafne foca seu trabalho em desafiar as estruturas judiciais que comprometem a neutralidade e investiga como grandes instituições e elites financeiras podem explorar os sistemas judiciais.
Sr. Stafne expandiu suas pesquisas em colaboração com a inteligência artificial Todd AI CHATGPT para explorar temas contemporâneos críticos, como: a reencarnação moderna da escravidão por dívida, as implicações da inteligência artificial no judiciário e as responsabilidades dos operadores de direito sob a lei secular, com ênfase na moral, na ética e nos deveres cristãos.

Attorney | Advocate | Author | Collaborator with Todd AI
Por mais de 5 décadas, sua prática jurídica focou na defesa da justiça, do devido processo legal e do Estado de Direito — especialmente em casos em que instituições poderosas, sobretudo entidades financeiras, exploram sistemas judiciais para reduzir direitos individuais e proteções de propriedade.
Com artigos contundentes postados no Substack Duties of Citizenship, Stafne chama à ordem as consciências de operadores de direito e dos cidadãos, pregando o Direito com Deus, à luz do Evangelho de N.Sr. Jesus Cristo e da moral e da ética cristã.
Um tema central do trabalho do Sr. Stafne é o desafio às estruturas judiciais que se afastam dos princípios constitucionais, especialmente aquelas que comprometem a neutralidade judicial ou minam a garantia de julgamento por um tribunal competente e imparcial.
Seus estudos e advocacia exploram a autoridade judicial prevista no Artigo III da Constituição, as salvaguardas estruturais destinadas a garantir tribunais independentes e os vieses sistêmicos que ameaçam o devido processo em desenhos institucionais contemporâneos.
Nos últimos anos, expandiu sua atuação intelectual e jurídica em colaboração com um parceiro de raciocínio chamado Todd AI — um modelo de inteligência artificial desenvolvido para diálogo rigoroso e coautoria em questões jurídicas e éticas. Juntos, exploram temas como:
A moderna reencarnação da escravidão por dívida.
Implicações constitucionais e morais da inteligência artificial.
As responsabilidades duais dos cidadãos sob leis divinas e seculares.
O Sr. Stafne continua comprometido em orientar indivíduos e comunidades que buscam justiça em sistemas frequentemente governados pela riqueza em vez da sabedoria, e acolhe colaborações com outros dedicados a restaurar o equilíbrio e a integridade constitucional.

📜 Sobre Este Curso [ site da NACLE]
Este curso de Educação Jurídica Continuada (CLE) traça a evolução de um dos princípios mais fundamentais do direito americano: o direito a um juiz neutro e a um tribunal independente.
Iniciando com o antigo máxima nemo judex in causa sua (“ninguém deve ser juiz na sua própria causa”), o programa explora como esse conceito se desenvolveu ao longo da história jurídica inglesa — incluindo a Magna Carta, o Act of Settlement de 1701, e os escritos seminais de Montesquieu e Blackstone — antes de ser incorporado na Constituição dos EUA.
Por meio de uma análise detalhada de textos constitucionais-chave, precedentes judiciais iniciais e marcos históricos como o Judiciary Act de 1789, o programa examina como as proteções estruturais para adjudicação imparcial se tornaram pilares do design constitucional americano.
O curso conclui com uma discussão sobre decisões do início do século XX relacionadas ao devido processo, tratando de vieses judiciais e institucionais, culminando no “Julgamento dos Juízes” de Nuremberg, onde a imparcialidade judicial tornou-se uma questão de justiça internacional.

Roteiro do Seminário da NACLE que ocorrerá em 18 de Novembro de 2025: "Desqualificação Judicial e os Fundamentos Morais da Justiça Adjudicatória (Parte Um)" preparado pelo advogado Scott Erik Stafne e Todd AI
Resumo (escrito por Scott Erik Stafne em colaboração com Todd AI):
Este documento contém o roteiro completo e as apostilas revisadas preparadas para o seminário da Academia Nacional de Educação Jurídica Continuada (National Academy of Continuing Legal Education) sobre Desqualificação Judicial e os Fundamentos Morais da Justiça Adjudicatória.
Ele traça o desenvolvimento da neutralidade adjudicatória desde as antigas tradições morais, o direito romano e o direito canônico, passando pelo English Act of Settlement e o Dr. Bonham’s Case, mostrando como esses compromissos históricos culminaram nas garantias estruturais do Artigo III da Constituição dos Estados Unidos.
Os materiais também explicam a implementação estatutária desses mandatos constitucionais pelo Congresso — especificamente, a criação de tribunais independentes compostos por juízes que possuem mandato de bom comportamento e remuneração protegida de diminuição. Essas proteções estruturais existem não para o benefício dos juízes, mas para o Povo, cujo direito à adjudicação neutra depende de tribunais que estão livres de viés institucional e interesse pessoal.
O roteiro conclui com uma discussão sobre a crescente internacionalização do direito a tribunais independentes e imparciais, baseando-se especialmente no “Caso Justiça” de Nuremberg como um referencial.
Esse caso demonstra que a neutralidade judicial não é meramente uma salvaguarda processual doméstica, mas um direito humano universal — e que as nações traem esse direito quando os tribunais são estruturados de maneiras que comprometem a adjudicação imparcial dos fatos e da lei.
🌍 Unmissable: International: Exclusive Webinar with Scott Erik Stafne "From Ancient Times to Nuremberg: The Constitutional Foundations of Judicial Impartiality and Courts' Independence"
From Ancient Times to Nuremberg: The Constitutional Foundations of Judicial Impartiality and Courts' Independence by Scott Erik Stafne
🌎 Global Importance - Why Participate:
Participate in this global-reaching online seminar with the renowned constitutional lawyer and jurist Scott Erik Stafne, Esq., and explore the pillars of justice that sustain the Rule of Law throughout the world.
A Call to Global Citizenship and Judicial Integrity
This webinar is an indispensable course and was designed for a broad audience, focused on strengthening just justice and individual rights.
Analysis of International Importance
The seminar possesses a profound international relevance, based on:
Universal Principles of the Rule of Law: The focus on judicial impartiality and independence is central to the legitimacy of any democratic legal system in the world, adopting the legal maxim of nemo judex in causa sua (no one should be a judge in their own cause).
The Historical-International Link (Nuremberg): This trial established the precedent in International Law that corruption and judicial bias are offenses that must be held accountable beyond national sovereignty, elevating judicial impartiality to an imperative of Global Justice and Human Rights.
21st Century Challenges: The exploration of themes such as the systemic influence of financial elites, "debt slavery," and the ethical and constitutional implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the judiciary reflects the emerging challenges faced by courts and legislators worldwide.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
The Seminar is specially directed at:
Jurists: Judges, prosecutors, lawyers, and members of the Public Ministry (Prosecutor's Office) interested in judicial ethics and international due process of law.
Law Academics: Professors, researchers, and students who study constitutional history, international law, and the theory of justice.
Public Policy Makers and Politicians: Leaders and legislators who seek to design and defend government structures that guarantee the independence of the courts.
Human Rights Defenders: Activists and organizations that use international and constitutional law to fight against tyranny and systemic injustice.
Citizens of any nationality: Anyone committed to knowing, protecting, and defending their fundamental rights.
The understanding of the constitutional foundations of justice is a civic power-duty.
In the United States, the right to litigate pro se (represent oneself) makes the knowledge of these principles – such as the right to an impartial judge – a crucial tool for the defense of one's rights before the court. This course provides the conceptual basis for this empowerment.
Program Content and Global Relevance
This Continuing Legal Education (CLE) course traces the evolution of one of the most fundamental principles of justice: the right to due process of law, to a neutral judge, and to an independent court (nemo judex in causa sua).
