Civil Lawsuits

Are judges immune from civil

lawsuits? I know that DA's are

immune, but what about judges? If

a judge fails to properly perform their

duties and it affects an innocent

defendant in a bad way, i.e. they lose

their job, can that person sue the

judge in a civil court?

appearance by telephone

when can a defendant appear before a judge using telephone conference. In this case, there is hardship involved in traveling 800 miles to court and we believe the court was at fault for misinforming defendant of his obligations. Due to this, he failed in one area to fulfill obligations and now has to appear before the judge to explain this and deal with the warrant which is now in place. Does he have the right to appear via telephone or video?

Discrimination on the job

I am a high school public school teacher. I have been teaching for almost 20 years. I have been at my present school for almost 10. I became very close friends with a colleague of mine close to a year ago. She is a teacher also and is from Iran. She had been mistreated here and really had no friends. I became her friend and now I have been mistreated as well. Before becoming friends with her, my teaching file was perfect. Since becoming friends, she has continued to be mistreated by colleagues and administration. Now, it is affecting me and my teaching reputation. I have been harassed and have contacted the EEOC as well. What else should I do at this point? My friend and I are prepared to get a lawyer and fight this.

Verbal Harm

My father and stepmother are in a nasty divorce, which has been going on for several years now. Because of my stepmother's absurd demands (such as not allowing him to see their son, insane amounts of money that he does not have, and the like) my father will not grant her the divorce. According to Jewish law, the woman who cannot get the divorce may do whatever is necessary to get the husband to grant the divorce. One such company that gets hired to do deeds like this is ORA. They will even cause physical harm to get the divorce. At my nephew's circumcision ceremony yesterday, a man showed up and was handing out flyers about my father. Is there anything that I can do to prevent this organization from causing any further harm to him? This was not the first time it happened. At my sister's wedding the same flyers were handed out, and the company even went as far as demonstrating in front of the hospital he worked at, which fired him. Is there anything legally wrong with what they are doing?

Is this a type of harrasement?

I have had an altercation with my exhusband and his girlfriend. My husband and I were both arressted and they didnt get anything. We are going to compassion classes to resolve our sentence and to stay away from them as well as they are to stay away from us. All of this happened in april.I filed a warrant for their arrest and it could not be granted due to the paperwork not being filled out correctly. The judge told them they were inviolation and if it was filled out correctly he would have had them arrested. He also told them that he better not see us back in court again or we would all be arrested. Now I have received paperwork from magistrate court where the exgirlfriend is suing me. Is this against what the judge said and is this harrasment? She will not leave me or my children alone. She threatens them all the time.She has been telling my children that she is going to sue me and take me back to court so I can go back to jail. What do i need to do?

married couple not allowed to live together

My husband was charged with aggravated assault F4, D.V. M1 and Disrupting public service F4. I am his wife and victim in this case. The judge gave him 2 years probation and also that we are not permitted to live together. We have been working on our marriage since this incident happened and I have been alcohol free for over a month now. He does not drink and has attended a management anger course. This is a first time offense for my husband. We have been married for over 22 years. I can understand making us attend counseling as part of the probation, but can he legally force us to not live together as part of the probation?
