Vanessa donned the black robe being careful to show it the respect it deserved.  She had worked long and hard to earn the position of Family Court Judge and was both honored and humbled by the achievement.  The court had been plagued with mismanagement, resulting in a backlogged schedule equaled by no other court in the district.  Vanessa was determined to run the court efficiently and fairly.  Since taking the oath six weeks ago, she had been able to clear cases previously scheduled for seven weeks.  She was gaining ground, but there was still too much to do.

“All rise.  The court of Family Law is now in session. Honorable Judge Vanessa Hart presiding.”

Vanessa took her place on the bench.  “Bailiff, call the first case please.”

“Case number 68064.  Johnson vs. Johnson.  All parties please step forward.”

Vanessa watched as a 16 year old boy walked forward, followed by a middle aged man.  The boy’s arms were tattooed and his head was shaved.  What spoke to Vanessa were his eyes.  They were vacant, as if there were no living creature behind them.  She turned to look at the man behind the boy.  Her heart skipped a beat and she audibly gasp as she recognized him.
