This documentation examines the written statements of Dana Prescott and Lani Anne Remick, presented through a text-based art video series that illustrates the harms caused by their conduct as lawyers. By making over 177 false statements about a person’s mental illness disability and exploiting societal stigma, fear, and prejudice, Prescott and Remick compromised the integrity of the legal system and violated their duties as officers of the court.
The harm to the courts is profound. The legal system relies on truth and fairness to deliver justice. When lawyers distort facts, they corrupt judicial proceedings, mislead decision-makers, and undermine confidence in the system’s impartiality. By leveraging stigma and fear to sway outcomes, Prescott and Remick introduced bias into a process that should be governed by evidence and reason, damaging the credibility of both the court and legal advocacy. Their falsehoods turned the courtroom into a platform for prejudice, violating the principle that courts must provide equal justice to all, including individuals with mental illness disabilities.
The harm to the public is equally significant. Lawyers have a unique authority to shape societal perceptions, and when they use that authority to reinforce harmful stereotypes, the impact extends beyond the individuals they target. Prescott and Remick’s false statements perpetuate the fear and stigma surrounding mental illness, encouraging broader discrimination and discouraging individuals from seeking legal protections. This misuse of their professional standing fosters distrust not only in the legal profession but also in the fairness of the justice system, weakening society’s belief in its ability to protect the rights of vulnerable individuals.
This text-based art video series documents these harms through the words of Dana Prescott and Lani Anne Remick themselves, exposing how their written statements exemplify the misuse of legal authority and the lasting damage caused when officers of the court exploit fear and prejudice rather than uphold truth and justice.
