Judge James Mize Apologist Blames Rampant Family Court Corruption on Judicial Council Forms

McGeorge Law School Professor John E.B. Myers Risibly Attributes Lack of Family Court Justice To Too Many Forms

Special Guest Editorial: Opinion by Cathy Cohen

McGeorge School of Law Professor John E.B. Myers attributes
family court corruption to Judicial Council forms.

In a laughably inaccurate editorial published by the Sacramento Bee, McGeorge School of Law family law professor John E.B. Myers redefined the meaning of the out-of-touch, ivory tower academic. Among other clueless assertions, Myers made the epic LOL, demonstrably false claim that:

“Sacramento’s family court, under the wise leadership of Judge James Mize, serves the community well.”

Family court watchdogs have collected and catalogued overwhelming evidence that Judge Mize provides anything but “wise leadership,” and that the court – which operates essentially as an organized, criminal enterprise – serves only a select, exclusive group of judge pro tem lawyers.

With a few exceptions, it's a high school-level principle of law that an appeal halts trial court proceedings until the appellate court is finished.

RoadDog was leaked the complete, comical court reporter's transcript from the trial FAIL where Salinger attempts to claim a 2008 appellate court decision from a probate case authorized the divorce to be finalized, despite the pending appeal. As The Dog suspected, the court record showed Salinger's opponent didn't have a lawyer: a self-respecting attorney would be embarrassed to try the same stunt against a fellow member of the State Bar. 

In the trial transcript, the judge pro tem attorney confessed to the judge that she was unable to find any case law "exactly on point" to justify the wacky request, but that the probate case she did find, Gridley v. Gridley, was close enough.
