Identify Judge Misconduct Using the California Judicial Conduct Handbook: News You Can Use

CONSUMER PROTECTION NEWS YOU CAN USE: When the California Commission on Judicial Performance (CJP) investigates a judge accused of misconduct, this is one of the resources they use. 

If you believe you are a victim of judge misconduct, before you make a complaint to the CJP use the California Judicial Conduct Handbook to identify what the misconduct is called and the terminology used to describe it. This will significantly increase the odds that your CJP complaint will succeed.

Family law references used by Sacramento Family Court News are the same as those 
used by judges and family law attorneys, including California Practice Guide: Family Law.
Thank you for visiting Sacramento Family Court News, a news website featuring independent reporting about family court, judges, attorneys, pro pers, family law, divorce, child support, child custody and more. To learn more about us, please visit our About Page. This post describes the legal references we use in our reporting.

Family law is complex. Family court cases often involve conflicting he said/she said testimony, or "both sides do it" moral equivalency arguments. Sorting out the facts is a daunting challenge and one reason why most mainstream media avoid reporting on family court issues. 

But almost all family law and procedure is codified or otherwise established by court rules and decisional law, and not subject to reasonable dispute. The news, analysis, and opinion content at Sacramento Family Court News is in large part based on the family law and court procedure references used by judges and attorneys. 

When issuing orders, rulings, and decisions, superior courtCourt of Appeal and California Supreme Court judges and justices often rely on and cite legal references published by The Rutter Group. For example, a search for the phrase "Rutter Group" in published and unpublished California decisional law returns 3,270 results. Click here to see the Google Scholar case law search results. 

The Rutter Group publishes Practice Guides for virtually every area of law. "The judges and attorneys who write the Practice Guides are among the best in the nation," according to Rutter.
