Is Your County Affected?
Reports from the December, 2009 California Judicial Council Report to State Legislature and May, 2009 CSAC Summary of SBX 2 11 show that 90% of the 1,900 Superior Court judges in 34 counties have taken judicial benefits [illegal payments - "bribes"] in addition to their state compensation.
