All right, its not strictly legal malpractice, but this story about Family Court Judges bickering and fighting, slamming files and being childish should remind us that these cases involved  parents and kids.  Family Court:  they must have involved custody and support.  Who was the victim here?

"One instance involved a sharply disputed tussle with Judge Monica Drinane (See Profile) over which of the two judges could require an attorney to be in their courtroom. Judge Shelton also quoted from an e-mail that Judge Drinane had sent her apologizing for the incident.

According to the commission’s complaint, when Judge Drinane entered Judge Shelton’s courtroom to discuss the issue, Judge Shelton told her to "step out of my courtroom, please," and directed a court officer "to shut the door on Judge Drinane."

When Judge Drinane again asked to speak to Judge Shelton, the complaint stated, Judge Shelton responded, "Monica, you are literally over the top."

In her answer, Judge Shelton described Judge Drinane as approaching her "confrontationally, in robes with arms crossed over her chest."

Judge Drinane’s comment, "I want to speak to you," the answer further asserted, was a "polite rendition" of what was actually said because "the court reporter has frankly admitted to Judge Shelton that he was hesitant even to record the embarrassing scene created by Judge Drinane."

What should not be forgotten either:  once these problems developed and the cases were troubled, was an attorney blamed?
