Borland, James A.

John Bosco is an attorney licensed to practice law in the States of New York and New Jersey as well as in various Federal courts. He is a partner in the law firm of Bosco, Bisignano & Mascolo, Esqs. LLP where he helps plaintiffs against whom the scales of justice have been tilted by the negligent infliction of personal injury.

Our society has achieved a modus vivendi by which we co-exist. Plaintiffs have renounced in-kind retaliation - an eye for an eye; a tooth for a tooth. In exchange for the forbearance of plaintiffs, society has substituted compensation - the cash equivalent of the eye, tooth or other personal injury - as the means to bring the scales of justice back into balance. The cruelty of in kind retaliation has been purged from our system of justice in favor of a gentler system of compensation: monetary restitution instead of violent retribution.

Bosco goes after defendants on behalf of plaintiffs to make sure that the balance between plaintiffs and defendants is restored. Liability insurance companies do not really care whether the scales of justice are brought back to balance. They want to pay as little as possible. This is unfair to society because, when justice is left out of balance, disharmony erupts. Bosco makes sure liability insurance companies pay the full debt created by the negligent infliction of personal injury. Bosco has tried many cases before juries in various areas of law from Delaware to New York. He is a graduate of Monsignor Farrell H.S. on Staten Island, New York, Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire and Brooklyn Law School.

Bosco is the author of How to Understand a Law and the inventor of the Periodic Table of the Elements of a Law. The Book and Table reflect Bosco's unified theory of a law. They are the antidote to sloppy legal thinking. Bosco's next book will deal with the science of Interrogation and will introduce the concepts of Micro-Interrogation and Macro-Interrogation. Bosco teaches a pre-law class to seniors at Monsignor Farrell H.S. In 1988, he was the president of the Board of Directors of Monsignor Farrell H.S. and currently sits on the Board as a Director. Bosco has also written articles on causation for the magazine of the American Trial Lawyers and for the New York State Bar Associations TICL journal. Bosco was one of the many volunteer lawyers of Trial Lawyers Care who -- without charge -- helped victims of 9/11 through the maze of the Victims Compensation fund. Bosco's client received one of the highest awards from the Fund. Bosco is a member of the Richmond County Bar Association for which he sits on its judiciary committee. He is a member of the New York Bar Association, the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, and the New York State Academy of Trial Lawyers.
