I have to say, this is a great idea for a forum!

Agree. I guess it's important to highlight what the jurisdiction of this judge is.

Ask the Judge is part of a site currently still under development at askthejudge.info. The site is going to be a companion piece to a book Tom published titled. "What are my Rights, 95 questions about teens and the law."

The goal of the site is to create a safe place for teens and their parents get information about teens rights and how the laws effect them. I will let you know when we go live, should be later this month.

I have to agree with Marty and Mick above. Cracking idea.

Thank you Marty, Mick and John for your comments - the site will be fully operational very soon. I am with the Maricopa County Superior Court in Arizona - it is a trial court and I am currently assigned to the juvenile division where I have spent most of the past 22 years. All the best.
