I had the good fortune of spending an afternoon in Department L-52 of the Orange County Superior Court the other day. Most of the afternoon was spent waiting for a commissioner to arrive (ours was on vacation so the others were doing double-duty in their own courtroom and then in ours when they finished their calendar).
I observed three top child support attorneys interacting all day with various attorneys, parents, and each other. They uniformly showed courtesy and respect for all concerned, a good sense of humor and a positive outlook. They were professional, respected all arguments, and were quick to grasp the nuances of various issues and positions.
After our matter had been resolved, I ran into another DCSS attorney who regularly works in Department L-51. This attorney is also smart, professional, courteous, with a great presence and a relaxed, positive countenance.
With so many great people showing their best to the public when no one was looking (there was no judge present for most of the afternoon), its clear that somebody over there is doing a lot right. It appears that the culture of the Orange County DCSS, or at least the group I dealt with, is healthy and positive.
