About Us
Who We Are
Justice-Denied.org is a Minnesota-based public-interest media outlet created by Craig and Marie Stevenson of Fergus Falls. Drawing on Craig’s lifelong background in electronics, communications, computing, and Marie’s extensive experience in data analysis, we investigate, document, and publish information about how Minnesota’s judicial system applies—or fails to apply—the standards of transparency, ethics, impartiality, and constitutional fairness that courts are sworn to uphold.
We are entirely independent. We are not affiliated with any law firm, political organization, governmental entity, or court. Our work is grounded in publicly available documents, including court filings, transcripts, judicial orders, appellate opinions, and official disciplinary records.
Justice-Denied.org exists because every Minnesotan deserves a judiciary that is fair in process, honest in conduct, and accountable in practice.
What We Do as a Minnesota Public-Interest Media Outlet
Justice-Denied.org operates as an investigative, research-driven journalism platform focused on judicial accountability. Our work includes:
-
Analyzing judicial orders, transcripts, and filings using both traditional methods and advanced AI tools.
-
Reporting on patterns of conduct—including undisclosed relationships, potential conflicts of interest, inconsistent rulings, and deviations from established legal standards.
-
Publishing records-based investigative articles that document how decisions are made and how those decisions impact the lives of Minnesota citizens.
-
Providing public-facing summaries, visualizations, and explanations so readers can understand complex legal proceedings that are often inaccessible or opaque.
In Minnesota, journalism is defined by function—not by corporate structure—and any person or organization that gathers information and publishes it to inform the public qualifies as media. Under that definition, Justice-Denied.org fulfills the role of a public-interest watchdog, dedicated to examining how the judicial system operates when scrutiny is most needed.

Why We Publish
The Constitution guarantees every citizen the right to speak openly about matters of public concern—especially the conduct of government officials, including judges. Courts do not exist outside public accountability; they are entrusted with power only because the public allows them to wield it.
Justice-Denied.org exercises that right responsibly, transparently, and with a commitment to evidence. We document real-world examples where judicial conduct, decision-making, or procedural fairness appears to fall short of constitutional and ethical standards. We publish this information so citizens, attorneys, judges, oversight bodies, legislators, and other policymakers can evaluate the integrity of the system for themselves.
Our goal is simple:
To ensure that justice in Minnesota is not only done but is seen to be done—fairly, impartially, and without exception.
