The law in action


We were privileged to spend some some with Judge Hoffman to observe his cases. It was at this point that we saw all the individual parties in action. Usually in family court there is a lawyer for the child, a lawyer for each parent represented and sometimes a representative form the Administration for Children's Service.

With all the legal jargon accumulated in our minds over the weeks, we sat in on cases with a mixture of results- some great and some not so great. But at all times, the interest of the child remained the main focus.
