Dealing with Difficult SituationsBy Kenneth C. "KC" JonesCandidate for Superior Court Judge; County of Orange; Office 14 |
This information is provided by the candidate | |
3. How do you deal with difficult people, including peers, lawyers, clients or litigants?A judge must lead by example. People must be treated with respect and with an understanding that most people in the courthouse do not want to be there. Courtrooms are intimidating places for the participants, who are typically in desparate situations. Judges see people after crimes have been commited, after contracts have been breached, after accidents have happenned and after rights have been violated. This fact, combined with the stress of the uncertainty of the outcome of dispute, tends to cause the participants to be more agressive, emotional and reactive. Essentially, the courts must address the real problems of people at their worst. Judges must control the courtroom as strong leaders but not as tyrants. It is important to the fair resolution of cases that the decorum of the proceedings be maintained. |
