Verdict in whistleblower’s historic case exposes the flaws of an unregulated legal system

SACRAMENTO, CA – Former family court mediator Emily Gallup prevailed today in an historic wrongful termination lawsuit against the Nevada County Superior Court (NCSC).

Gallup was represented by M.Catherine Jones and George Allen in the four week trial.

“This verdict should serve as a wakeup call to family courts across America,” said Gallup. “Children cannot be treated like widgets and shoved through the family court machine. Laws protecting the best interests of children must be followed.”

Marital Masters on their Way Out but....are the scales between corruption/money and real justice balanced?

Apparently not, here is another example of the Old boys network in NH.  Supreme-Court-AO-2012-08 describes how these marital masters who were appointed with 3 year terms will get a great benefit package at the cost of indigent families being denied an attorney in NH RSA 169-C cases and no supplemental payments for Guardian Ad litems in NH RSA 461-A cases.
