newsmakingnews.com The whole story: It is apparent that TSO (trial scheduling order) is unjust to those that can not afford to be represented in Family Court. Therefore, without the evidence being reviewed by judges that are employed in Contra Costa County Family Court, it is against the rights of litigants who will have a continuance of their Constitutional Rights stripped from them because of their unwillingness to treat litigants equally, or how else can the courts profit?. AS you can tell with the results of the questions posed before lawyers (Lee Pearce survey), there is an unbalance of equal representation for litigants who are forced to participate in the TSO process. I do not believe that having a trail will justly eliminate lack of due process- that has become all to familiar to persons entering into this type of practice as under the color of law, and the normal process of Family Law, Contra Costa County. Judge's do not read anything of the documents presented in court of each case. (in fact, "the one with the most money wins", I will not read anything you present", "without representation you will lose", Commissioner Berkow) In respect, if this was a test, every judge, commissioner would fail, they apply what they see fit to collect money, and show that they really do not care. It's just another process day in and day out, until they receive their pension at retirement, with full benefits. To have a judge rule on the best presentation, and not facts, is constitutionally depriving. Along with court appointed therapists, (Hobbs, Perryman, McCord) psychologists, mediators (clerks, employees in general) and their interest in the case, or the fabrication of records, manipulation on words, ex-parte communication with each other, telephone communication, passing false information and malicious misconduct against one person chosen as the target, along with their children who suffer the most, is unhuman and considered co-conspiracy, by laws and of the Contra Costa County. The law does not weed out the corrupt lawyers (elite group managed by judges and commissioners for favors, or pay off, including court appointed therapists), or the corruption in the courts themselves. The courts feed on the misery, and profit from the cycle, producing more along the way against the target person and children. The big picture is completely lost in the shuffle along with thousands of dollars, and sometimes when a judge/commissioner does not preform his/her duties, lives are lost. I do not have any confidence in the court system, particularly in the capacity for a judge/commissioner to be impartial. The basic fundamentals of an officer of the court, and their oath, having no validity to the proceedings or the rights of those representing themselves due to lack of funds, is not justice, it's a criminal justice against every day normal Jane's or John's. This process of court, I have witnessed, escalates emotions between the parties- does not allow for a solid solution to a simple problem. It would take an honest >outside= small group of citizens one day to come to produce positive results, a concrete solution, instead the court benefits from the process financially (judge customarily lie on their pay off affidavits, your tax dollars! (slushfunds)). There is no set established formal procedures. The disadvantage in the majority of cases, is a financial determination, or whose lawyer lied the best to make their client look more favorable. This is the case I have witnessed, but to make the attorney accountable for those lies would place the courts in jeopardy- they would also have to adhere to the same law, which would not benefit their interest or practice, or the practice of having those same lawyers do the work for the judges or commissioners (what a concept, $265,000.00 a year for a judge and they would have to account for their job performance, or be relieved from the bench). Being that I, as In Pro Per, silenced by the courts, have not been heard or allowed to present evidence that was read, I do not condone to having my rights stripped from me again. To have a commissioner disrespect a petitioner/ respondent with bias, being partial, doublespeak and unfair, has shown the reason and proof of her recusal. The accountability is therefore swept under the rug, out of sight to the fact that it happened, but those aware of this, do nothing to stop the abuse or repair the damage. Just remove the commissioner to another department until all the abused litigants are out of the system. Until she is reassigned to the same position as before, the very position and neglect for the law in which she was removed. Commissioner Berkow, who has killed people from her rulings. I have not given up my rights, they were taken from me. As it was brought to the courts attention, I demand an investigation due to the malpractice of one Commissioner Berkow. With litigants present to voice their grievances before a jury of citizens. Until such time, all orders are to be vacated. I declare under penalty of perjury, under the laws of the State of California, that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. Joyce L. Welsh IN PRO PER
