The word circus only begins to describe what I witnessed. I have been certified as an expert witness and have testified in court in several other counties within California. While understand that on the day I attended, there was a commissioner as the judge was out ill. However, there was absolutely no control over the court room and I have heard this from other individuals- Even when the actual court judge is in attendance, attorneys are allowed to argue and name call etc. Without any consequences (contempt charges come to mind).
In addition in most counties, Family Court is confidential. In this instance, everybody was allowed to remain in the courtroom while the business of minor children was discussed for all to hear. I completely agree that the department of justice should investigate this county court.
