information on abuse of judicial discretion?
342215
The only way to prove an abuse of judicial discretion is to provide evidence that the judge's decision violates either some legislation, some legal precedent from a higher court, or in very rare cases, customary practice in that jurisdiction.\n\nIt would be impossible to get into greater detail without knowing the specifics of the case.

The court refused to issue the injunction requested because the court does not have discretionary review of Executive authority.\n\n"The president is invested with certain important political powers, in the exercise of which he is to use his own discretion, and is accountable only to his country in his political character, and to his own conscience. ... And whatever opinion may be entertained of the manner in which executive discretion may be used, still there exists, and can exist, no power to control that discretion. The acts of such an officer, as an officer, can never be examinable by the courts." 5 US 137 @ 166\n\nIn other words, as long as the Executive is acting WITHIN the bounds established by law, the Executive has with the sole authority to determine how laws are to be enforced. And as long as the officer does not violate the law, the only remedy available is impeachment\n\n"The very essence of civil liberty certainly consists in the right of every individual to claim the protection of the laws, whenever he receives an injury. One of the first duties of government is to afford that protection. ... But where a specific duty is assigned by law, and individual rights depend upon the performance of that duty, it seems equally clear that the individual who considers himself injured has a right to resort to the laws of his country for a remedy." 5 US 137 @ 163-166

I'm not sure about Canadian Laws, however here in the United States, it is called "Recusal".   A judge will recuse themselves from any case in which they feel they cannot give a fair and impartial decision.  This is all voluntary on the part of the judge unless a writ is filed with a Superior Court Judge to have them withdrawn from the trial.

See US Constitution:  Bill of Rights.\n\nAs written, not as perverted by activist justices.

There's a link in the site to report abuse. \nIf it's not a joke then just go to the police.

Yes.  It depends on the charge and your location.  Go to a search engine and type in the name of your state, then 'state judiciary home page' and hit 'search'.  It should pull up the home page with the laws for your state.  You can look at the laws regarding abuse, sentencing, etc.  If someone is being abused, you need to talk to them and help them find the strength to leave themselves.  Otherwise they'll just go back because that's what they know, that's what's safe.  I've been there.  Be there for them.  Talk to them.  There are also restraining orders, which can be taken out at your local court house.  They're very cheap and affordable.  The police are also more than happy to put a trespassing warrant on your property for you, so if somebody walks onto your lawn, you can simply phone and have them removed without dirtying your hands.  Good luck.

God points.  Get some more evidence.  If the judge can be convinced that she is a liar it will hurt her case and help yours. So far you are not convincing. What is her evidence?

go to the clerk of court web site in your town or county and look it up. \nOn the other hand, if you behave yourself and don't get into trouble, you won't have to worry about things like that!

I don't think there is any limitation to a judges power in regard to contempt. You'd have to get another judge to overrule him(her), and that's not likely.

Hmm, my guess is see if there were any newspaper reports as to when the court hearing will be or to just contact a local court house and ask them how to gain this information.\n\nGood luck!

your local court house many times has information terminals available,  much is public information.  bca stuff can get pretty old so understand your sources - including this one.

google for your local bar association. they often have a list of judges you should NOT vote for based on a survey of attorneys. they are right most of the time!!
