FAIRNESS IN THE LEGAL SYSTEM

By Douglas W. Weitzman

Candidate for Judge, Superior Court; County of Los Angeles; Office 119

This information is provided by the candidate
MY GOAL IS TO MAINTAIN FAIRNESS, HONESTY AND THE PURSUIT OF THE TRUTH IN ALL MATTERS THAT COME BEFORE ME.

I FEEL THAT WITH OVER 27 YEARS EXPERIENCE AS A TRANSACTIONAL ATTORNEY, LITIGATION ATTORNEY AND WORKING FOR ALL TYPES OF COMPANIES AND PEOPLE, THAT I HAVE THE MOST EXPERIENCE OF EITHER OF THE OTHER CANDIDATES RUNNING AGAINST ME.

I HAVE BEEN AN ATTORNEY FOR OVER 27 YEARS, AND A REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL FOR OVER 30 YEARS. I HAVE BEEN A VOLUNTEER JUDGE PRO TEM FOR THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES FOR ABOUT 14 YEARS.

I VOLUNTEERED FOR THE COURT ON AVERAGE ABOUT 40 FULL COURT DAYS PER YEAR, AND WON AN AWARD FROM THE COURT EACH YEAR AS ONE OF THE TOP VOLUNTEERS.

I ESTIMATE THAT I HAVE HEARD ABOUT 50,000 TRAFFIC ARRAIGNMENTS, TRAFFIC TRIALS, SMALL CLAIMS CASES, AND OTHER CASES AS ASSIGNED BY THE PRESIDING JUDGE.

I FEEL THAT THE TRAINING THAT I RECEIVED, AS WELL AS THE ACTUAL HEARINGS THAT I PRESIDED OVER, AND THE RULINGS THAT I HAVE MADE MAKE ME UNIQUELY QUALIFIED FOR THIS POSITON.

I ASK FOR YOUR VOTE ON JUNE 3, 2008 FOR JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR COURT, OFFICE #119.
