Title: A day in part 15
First published: 1997
Description: A snapshot of how the legal system really works, A Day in Part 15: Law & Order in Family Court provides a perceptive, enlightening chronicle of a typical day in the life of a family court judge - if any day can be deemed typical. Judge Ross offers us a play-by-play of a day in his life. By noon Ross has dispatched with the basic fare of family court: attempted suicide, adoption and parental rights termination, paternity suits, child abuse and neglect, and juvenile.

Delinquency. The hearings vary from one-minute proceedings and half-hour arraignments to full-blown trials. Rich in courtroom detail, A Day in Part 15 exposes the workload, caseload, and overload of today's system.
