Q: How can you ask a Judge if she followed through on conferring with another Judge or what happened in writing to be legal
A Judge stated she would confer with another Judge after the hearing. I need to know how to request something in writing from the Judge to see if she did it or not and if she did, what did she say or if she didn't why not. I need it to be done in a way that a Judge another Judge in appeals court will except it. Please help.
I'm not trying to blame a Judge for anything. I'm having to recreate the change of events, along with trying to figure out how to ask another Judge and attorneys what was said in a hearing that was did not have a video or a court reporter. So it's more like a recreation is what they are looking for. Please help
A:
I will not bother to explain why--but I will say that you are trying to go down a dangerous path leading to places you do not ever want to go.
There is no legal way to "get something in writing" from a judge "to see if she did something" that "she said she would do"--i.e., talk to another judge about some issue you are worried about. Appellate courts take a very dim view of all appellants who try to blame something on the trial judge in their case below. Stick to the rules.
