In order for someone to become a judge in New York City, a long process needs to take place. Thus, obtaining a judgeship is very prestigious and also allows one to have a profound impact on the lives of the parties that come before you. Nowhere is this more true, then in Family Court. Custody, visitation, parental rights are all up to the judge. There are no juries to decide anything. One of the biggest fears of a Family Court judge is to return a child to a parent in a neglect case, and the parent injuring or killing the child. This has happened in the past, and unfortunately, statistics tell us it will happen again. This is the greatest weapon ACS has. It takes courage for a judge to stand up to this dysfunctional agency. Fortunately, the judges of Family court are up to the task and mostly are independent thinkers that look at one case at a time. Brooklynacslawyer.com
