Olds to assisted the NCSC

Judges Eileen Olds, Toni Higginbotham and John Mutter assisted the NCSC in preparing a response to a request for comments on legislation before the United States Congress. The bills on which AJA members were asked to comment and advise were the Adoption and Safe Families Act, and the Strengthening Abuse and Neglect Courts Act of 1998.

Judges Jay Dilworth, Eileen Olds, Bonnie Sudderth, Mike McAdam and Terry Elliott took part in a national conference on the Trial Court Performance Standards sponsored by the NCSC and the Bureau of Justice Assistance. After that conference, those judges and other AJA members developed a recommendation that led to the AJAs endorsement of the Trial Court Performance Standards at the September 1998 national meeting.

A commission of judges and court support personnel developed the Trial Court Performance Standards, which consist of twenty- two standards for trial court performance and substantive commentary on the rationale for each standard; they articulate the guiding principles by which trial courts fulfill their purposes and carry out their responsibilities. The ultimate aim of the standards and AJAs endorsement of them is to provide a systematic assessment of the trial court as an organization that serves a public need and to use the data to make courts as responsive and effective as possible.

There you go, put a bias judge on a panel where their actions will affect family and see what you get. Court sanctioned bias against fathers. I don't know about the other judges, I can only hope they have been on the bench longer then Olds and I hope they are not bias against fathers.
