How Come We Don’t Review Who Judges Our Judges? A story of Judge Wendy Coats et al.

It’s one of the largest sites devoted to discussing judges and is routinely monitored.

“It’s critical that those who dispense justice should be highly qualified, fair and impartial.  Therobingroom.com provides insight whether reviewed judges indeed possess those qualities.”

As the site was created for lawyers, I asked Kaizer if he was surprised how many  people use the site to share their experience in front of judges.

“I suppose we should not have been surprised that non-lawyers have found it to be a useful forum to discuss issues relating to the legal system, particularly since there were few other outlets available to them. When we started out there were a handful of sites that tried to do what we are doing, but we have grown. We like to think this is because we have a very user-friendly design, continuously update our database and are free and open to all.”

This silence around discussing our judicial standards has our system crippled.

And in the meantime, people and families suffer.

“Your kids are growing up, right?” White told me, “Six months I wait, and I just missed six months of their life. My oldest is 14 and a half and I’ve barely seen him in five years.”
