Arbitration Award

Wonder if I’m exaggerating the seriousness of the Nevada County Family Court problems?  Here is a synopsis of the situation from independent arbitrator Christopher Burdick, Esq.

“To this Arbitrator, these judicial and administrative top-down positions and directives
seem contrary to the mandates of the code and rules and appear calculated simply to push more
cases more quickly through the ER process, an approach based on quantity over quality, numbers
over depth, with disregard for the discretion and judgment granted to mediators under the code
and not calculated to protect the “best interests of the child”. Gallup had reasonable, bona fide
concerns and beliefs about all this, she raised them repeatedly, and she paid the price for doing
so.”  Click here to see the arbitration award in its entirety.
