Wild Willpower presents…

On the Fourth of July , 2025, Wild Willpower‘s founder, Sondra Wilson, registered the American Accreditation Registrar (“AAR”) with the IRS as a 501(c)(6) Business League, the same type of organization as the American BAR Association (“ABA”). This means it is a non-profit organization that promotes the common business interests of its members, who are primarily attorneys and legal professionals. 

Embedded with key differences that set the AAR apart from the ABA, the AAR creates new business opportunities for a wide variety of legal scholars interested in public education on the law, helping to obtain justice for the underrepresented classes, exposing and fighting to overturn unjust case rulings or bad laws, and combatting private and public corruption.

From activists looking for ways to effect real change, to students seeking meaningful internships in emerging fields of law, to graduates seeking a more reformationist approach to law that the ABA might offer, to aspiring cause lawyers who felt pushed out by old, well-established firms, to disgruntled attorneys tired of seeing old, unchecked corruption, the AAR is founded on bringing good old fashioned competition into a market that appears to desperately needs it. A lot of people see the injustice: it is time to raise the bar on the BAR.

 

It’s Time to Break Up
The BAR’s de facto Monopoly
Over the Courts and the Legal Industry

For all practical purposes, the American Bar Association has a monopoly on law school accreditation. There is, at present, no other entity approved to accredit law schools, and the vast majority of states require graduation from an ABA-approved school in order to take the bar exam (Adler 2025)

To become a judge in Iowa, you must be a licensed attorney in the state. This means you need to be admitted to the Iowa Bar. Additionally, most judges in Iowa must maintain their bar license and remain in good standing with the Iowa State Bar Association while serving as a judge. To fulfill the requirements for bar admission, one must:

• Graduate from an ABA-approved law school.
• Pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) with a score of 80 or higher.
• Pass the Iowa Bar Exam.
• Meet character and fitness requirements (Iowa Judicial Branch).

 

BAR Attorneys Prioritize Clients and Steer Clear of ‘Conflicts of Interest’
AAR Attorneys Prioritize Justice

Any Iowan who has suffered a complex or severe injustice knows how unjust Iowa’s courts can be, especially when you’re trying to make ends meet, working on the case as often as you can, and on the other side you’ve got a paid BAR attorney fighting tooth and nail to shove you under — even when they know that their client (or the state) is in the wrong.

As a Member Organization of Wild Willpower, AAR is bound to uphold our Code of Ethics. Therefore, no AAR attorney would be allowed to knowingly and willingly represent in favor of a 

 

Most Iowans Can’t Afford Attorneys
And Free Legal Aid Orgs Can’t Help w/ Complex Cases

Did you know that 92% of low-income Citizens can’t afford legal assistance for civil matters (Legal Services Corporation 2022)? And it’s no wonder: the average Iowan earns ~$25/hr. (ZipRecruiter), while the average rate for a civil litigation lawyer in Iowa is $254/hr (Clio) and require a ~$5000 retainer. During a time when Iowans are experiencing a record high in food insecurity (Business Record), our economy has been ranked worst in the nation (McCann, Adam 2025), and 90,000 Iowans are projected to lose their Medicaid due to federal cuts (DCCC 2025), teaching kids that we have “liberty and justice for all” in this country seems like a sad lie we shouldn’t be telling our kids. For Iowans who haven’t had this cold, hard reality hit them, please keep reading. Its time we talk about it.

Although Iowa does have some legal support for low-income persons, these organizations have their hands tied when it comes to the vast majority of cases. Iowa Legal Aid, Drake University Legal Clinic, and Legal Aid of Story County, for example, may not assist with “fee-generating cases”. This means that they can generally only help with divorce/custody and tenant/landlord issues. For more complex cases, such as those involving fraud, discrimination, color of law crimes, Iowans are generally up Shit’s Creek.

Iowa Courts Aren’t Accessible

 

1.) For civil cases, both the Iowa Rules of Civil Procedure and Iowa Rules of Evidence are used. There are approximately 372 rules in total, and that’s just for civil cases. the Iowa Legislature’s web pageGo ahead and take a look at the Rules of Procedure on . Scroll through a few of those PDFs. Does any of that look accessible to you? Put frankly, the current rules of procedure amount to a “crossword puzzle from Hell” that Iowans don’t have time for.

2.) Now, take a look the website CaseBriefs, which keeps a collection of case rulings, along with summaries for each case in order to quickly inform the ready what the case is about, and what the ruling was. . For everNotice how  Synopsis of Rule of Law. “The purpose of a corporation is to make a profit for the shareholders, but a court will not interfere with decisions that come under the business judgment of directors.“

BAR Attorneys aren’t holding Government Officials accountable
AAR Attorneys Do

 

 

you go to these free legal aid orgs for help, and instead are turned away and told to find a private attorney on the State Bar website. There’s a huge problem though (that politicians seem to never address!)

 

Many Iowans are, therefore, left with two options:

1.) Cope with the harm that was done to them, resigned to the fact that they will not find justice. The courts are far too complex, and few people have time on their hands to untangle and figure out how to apply the ~372 rules of courtroom procedure.

2.) Attempt to untangle the Iowa Rules of Civil Procedure and Iowa Rules of Evidence in order to sue and try to find justice. Unfortunately, if the person was defrauded by a business or other high-powered party, choosing this approach may hold a great deal of risk, as the other party may be represented by a high-power attorney.

Courts should be about Justice;
Not Citing Case Rulings in a Manner that Causes Injustice

 

Why the AAR is needed:

I must preface this with “The AAR will create a slough of jobs for legal professionals, through the The Public Intelligence Agency, whose duties shall include but not be limited to:

– Completing the development of www.ReUniteTheStates.org and putting the contents onto a state-owned website that will shine like a beacon of justice from here in the Heartland.

– Simplifying the obscenely and unfairly complex Iowa Rules of Courtroom Procedure into simpler, step-by-step instructions with forms and templates for any and every type of motion one can file. I have already begun the process of simplifying the rules via organizing them into pre-trial, trial, and post-trial rules here.

– Tracking down and fining scammers (see Scammers Beware! Act)

– Amending the Iowa Tort Claims Act so that justice is accessible for Iowans. See what I mean.

– Developing a curriculum so that criminal and civil law can be taught in high schools. Every Iowa high school graduate will know the difference between criminal and civil law, what to do if their rights are violated (e.g. how to file a tort claim, file a claim, file criminals charges, perform records requests, how, when and why to file with the Office of the Ombudsman, and so on). For any attorney who is freaking out about my proposals, would you rather work for some jerk with a lot of money who is paying you to defend the severe harm they caused to someone else, or would you like to teach a classroom of high schoolers and impart your knowledge to help a more just tomorrow for Iowa and all of the nation and world? Iowa’s going to shine like a beacon for civil rights from right here in the Midwest, and the whole world will learn about Alexander Clark, Ida B. Wells, Harvey Milk, and the importance of civil rights. And now you know why I chose the symbol of the lighthouse to be in the center of the Public Intelligence Agency’s emblem:

 

Preface: Our Government is, by Definition, a Democratic-Republic

Constitutionally, our government is — by definition — a “democratic-republic”. The democratic form of government and the republican form of government are both baked into the Iowa and US constitutions. That said, candidates are required to choose just one party. Before we continue, in case you are wondering what I am talking about, here is some legal self-help information I’ve been piecing together to help Iowans learn more about how our government is supposed to work (because that is the key to fixing this out-of-control Frankenstein’s monster!):

 

The BAR Association has de facto Monopoly
Over State and Federal Judiciaries

The AAR is dedicated to upholding peoples’ rights

The AAR will not stay neutral in times of injustice, nor will we argue that the government ought be immune from accountability to the people. In the immortal words of the divine covenant set forth by 16th President Abraham Lincoln in his 1863 Gettysburg Address, “[T]hat government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.“

Much more will be written on this topic, suffice to say Iowans need a new Accreditation Registrar built on American principals, and we need a publicly-owned credit union.
