On my last day at the courthouse, Judge Davidian sent me to Jerry Springer court. Courtroom 4C is always full of special cases, and today was no different. I got to observe the crazy happenings. Mostly it was people trying to get temporary restraining orders on their spouses. In one case, the defendant thought having a restraining order placed on him made it so that his wife couldn’t contact him. He willfully accepted the restraining order, even after being informed of the reality. In the afternoon, I watched cases in 5C. This was one ongoing case that involved a Termination of Parental Rights. In TPR cases, the county intervenes with a child’s life because they believe there was wrongdoing. In these cases, there are three parties instead of two: County, Defendant, and a Guardian ad Litem. The latter is a child advocate who helps articulate what would be the best for the child in that situation.
