Your post brought tears to my eyes. I plan to link to it. This is important information, and needs to be read by those who work with and care about this issue. Thank you for the information.anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907362042684864253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8920384099779950211.post-45166570674873362882008-09-24T08:31:00.000-08:002008-09-24T08:31:00.000-08:00NJ DV Law Overturned Amid Epidemic of False Allega...<STRONG>NJ DV Law Overturned Amid Epidemic of False Allegations</STRONG><BR><BR/>New Jersey's domestic violence statute has recently been found unconstitutional. <BR/><BR/>The New Jersey Attorney General is taking this case to the state's Supreme Court. The New Jersey Law Journal reports that Judge Richard Russell of Ocean City made the following remarks on tape during a judicial training session regarding the issuance of restraining orders. <BR/><BR/>source: <A HREF="http://www.fathersandhusbands.org/NJ_Rights_1.pdf" REL="nofollow">Scan of NJ Law Journal Article</A><BR/><BR/>“If I had one message to give you today, it is that your job is not to weigh the parties’ rights as you might be inclined to do as having been private practitioners. Your job is not to become concerned about all the constitutional rights of the man that you’re violating as you grant a restraining order. Throw him out on the street, give him the clothes on his back and tell him, ‘See ya’ around.’ “<BR/><BR/>A new municipal judge attending the training session stated “The statute says we should apply just cause in issuing the order.” “You seem to be saying to grant every order.” Russell quickly replied, “Yeah, that’s what I seem to be saying.” <BR/><BR/>The article is full of comments from Russell and his colleagues that are equally inflammatory.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps you think Russell should have been disbarred for instructing judges to ignore the constitution. In doing so, he violated his greatest responsibility as a judge in the most blatant way possible. Perhaps you think he should have gone to prison.<BR/><BR/>Russell now serves on the New Jersey Supreme Court's State Domestic Violence Working Group, the Executive Committee of the State Bar's Family Law Section, and the New Jersey Supreme Court's Family Practice Committee. He currently is the chair of the court's Child Support Subcommittee.<BR/><BR/>Given a recent ruling declaring New Jersey’s domestic violence statute unconstitutional and given the imminent Supreme Court challenge, the truth regarding the real practices that are being used to separate men from their children and their homes must be heard.RShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01695014457917778066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8920384099779950211.post-30348228138412982712008-09-24T08:23:00.000-08:002008-09-24T08:23:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.RShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01695014457917778066noreply@blogger.com
