Aren't there things like children's advocates in family court? Review boards at every level who check up on accusations against lawyers/judges/etc.?
I'd venture to guess there are dozens of such entities sprinkled throughout the legal system.
- giantg2 5y agoI don't know that children advocates are really seeking justice. They are seeking the best outcome for the kids. They also don't do any real investigating or truth seeking. "Review boards at every level who check up on accusations against lawyers/judges/etc.?" Do they? Do they actually do anything? I have experiences with these and they were mind blowing if you come in thinking they're about justice. Don't forget, they keep these secret because they want to protect the system, even if it means sending an innocent person to prison (no requirement to turn over exculpatory evidence even if subpoenaed). The Bar won't even investigate misconduct by prosecutors unless the court has already declared that misconduct occurred. I would really love to hear about one of the dozen or so boards or whatever that could help me right some past wrongs. Because I've gotten nowhere.
