Family courts need to look in the mirror

Abstract

Family court judges have very difficult jobs. They must possess the wisdom of Solomon, the work ethic of Steve Jobs, and the kindness of Dolly Parton. When a family court judge looks in the mirror, do they see the legions of individuals whose lives they have touched standing behind them? Are family court judges haunted by those families whose lives they’ve impacted, or pleased by their actions in serving the best interests of those families? (from Introduction)
