I will look into filing a complaint and I appreciate the info that Reality_check has provided.
Dan Caplis and Silverman did a radio show on this yesterday on 630 AM at 5:05 for an hour. They couldn't believe this had happened. Don Kirlin as well as Bob Greenlee were on the show, and they plan on doing another show today. If anyone wants to listen to the podcast of this, go to: http://a1135.g.akamai.net/f/1135/18227/1...

Colorado Supreme Court Office of Attorney Regulation(303) 866-6410 or 1 (877) 888-1370 returned my call. The complaint needs to filed by someone directly involved in the action. I hope the Kirlin's file a complaint with this office. I have not yet had a response from my email to our elected State Senators and Representatives that represent our area.

dclaura13, Thanks for taking such a personal interest in this case and I have reported Edith Stevens to the Colorado Supreme Court Office of Attorney Regulation. I have also made the call to the Colorado Commission on Judicial Discipline for Dick McLean.

Reality_Check, Many thanks to you for enlightening us on the Misconduct Rule. I will do everything possible to expose these "shysters" for the disreputable, immoral people that they are. If anyone is interested in looking at this property from above, go to http://maps.google.com/maps?tab=wl, Once you are there, use "Map" to locate Hardscrabble on the southwest side of Boulder. At the west end of Hardscrabble, go to Maximum zoom, then select satellite. You will be able to view the lot at the end of Hardscrabble with the fire access road on the south side. McLean and Steven's property is just to the east. Scroll just to the south and you will be able to see a path that we use for hiking. Where is the path on the lot??

What an amazing and disturbing story! This law, for the good of society going forward, needs to be altered to reflect 2007 standards of living. In order to change it we need to create mass awareness of this law across the country through the media -- if Mclean and Stevens get jacked the press in the process, oh well. Sounds like they deserve it. My specialty is national media relations and I would take this case on pro-bono. This has Larry King written all over it.
Susie and Don, please post on this board a means for us to communicate, if you are interested.

So the Steven's are eschewing the opportunity to present 'their side' in the Wednesday revelation of their perfidy before the entire state? Perhaps it's just the confidence and arrogance that they successfully used the law to murder justice and that's sufficient. That and the fact they really couldn't address the inevitable questions they'd be asked or present a cogent and common sense case to actual people. I mean BS-ing another lawyer and judge with the arcana of the law's letters in order to bury its spirit is 1 thing but this is another entirely.
Maybe the furor to come will give them cause to seek a change of venue from the People's Republic of Boulder due to the adverse publicity. Except they'd probably fare even worse then they would here-the land will revert back to the Kirlin's and their only 'hope' in an open, monitored court would be not to be nailed with the Kirlin's court costs, too! ("Stealing a neighbor's property for free is 1 thing but paying to lose it back is another...")
I'd suggest the People's Republic of China for a favorably hearing of their questionable application of law because I don't think it's going to fly too high in America.

Re: Google maps.
If you intend to use that source as evidence in a future appeal, I highly recommend that you store a screen shot. I'm not sure how often they update their satellite images, but if it happened and you didn't have that record you would have lost an important piece of evidence.
Again, I'm not an attorney, but I'd suggest printing the screen shot in front of an unbiased witness, signing and dating the print out, and having the witness sign and date it as well.
Also, determine and document if you can the date on which the satellite image was taken.

I do not live in Boulder, but do live in Boulder County. I am a native Coloradoan. I don't personally know anyone involved; I'm just outraged and want to do anything I can to change the law and help you. I'm glad you filed the complaint.
reid
Thanks for the media help.
I emailed Bob Greenlee's column to national and local TV stations last week and left messages as "news tips" etc. I'll keep checking here for updates.

That's complete bullshit, utterly false information from whomever returned your call.
Demand a written complaint package be sent to you. ANY citizen has legal standing, a right, and indeed a moral obligation to report Attorney Misconduct / Unethical Conduct.
Who, exactly, gave you that false information? What was their name? Please post their name so they can be disciplined/fired for asserting such falsehoods in an attempt to discourage citizen participation in the Attorney complaint process.
