On March 15th 2022, Alaskans protested outside courthouses across Alaska. They demanded the Alaska Supreme Court overrule its Order 1993 (SCO 1993). With essentially no input by members of The Alaska's Legislature's Rules Committee, the highest court had created rule 6.1 formed of whole cloth. The Legislature’s Rules Committee reviews language with recommendations from Legislative Legal for constitutionality. That didn’t happen in this case because it was a reactionary act responding to demands of Alaskans for accountability. This new law restricts citizens’ rights to petition the grand jury to investigate into official misconduct. The subject of grand jury process has been debated for centuries, there was no need to rush. Except, the rules were changed and enacted just weeks before a subpoenaed testimony of Alaska’s lead judicial investigator Marla Greenstein, as she has had the role for nearly 35 years. According to the Peninsula Clarion, the Kenai Peninsula Borough As...
The Frailties of Alaska's Supreme Court 1993 By Jessica Schultz Pleasant Since statehood in 1959 Alaskans have enjoyed a process outside the inbred court system to demand justice for official wrongdoing through an independent grand jury. Most Alaskans do not need to know about this aspect of our government established in the Alaska Constitution until they are wronged in a way that requires extraordinary means for achieving justice. Kenai Resident, David Haeg , sought this means for gaining justice over some 18 years. He has claimed he was framed by the AK Department of Fish & Game and was denied an independent grand jury.

Alaska House Bill 7: A BILL THAT WOULD PROVIDE DUE PROCESS FOR JUDGES TO AVOID GRAND JURY INVESTIGATIONS By Jessica Schultz Pleasant The State of Alaska has been a circus fair grounds for officials within the government and its courts. Citizens are feeling they are the enemies of their own State. Previous articles have described the Supreme Court Order 1993 controversy. A grassroots Alaska Grand Jury Association has been fighting against the new authorities given to the Alaska Attorney General and approved prosecutors. The new powers include a DA refusing requests against his client [THE STATE] from going before the grand jury for civil investigation into the state. Unbeknownst to many is Alaska House Bill 7 (HB 7). SCO 1993 changed Criminal Rule 6.1, which prevented Alaska’s 35 year judicial investigator Marla Greenstein just days before her subpoenaed testimony before the grand jury. Greenstein would be considered an “administrative judicial officer”. HB 7 doesn’t use the DA...
