Traffic Court Forum

Traffic Court Forum: What you need to know from traffic stop to final outcome

Part of CJE’s Judicial Forum Series

The Center for Judicial Excellence in partnership with the Action Coalition for People of Color convened a community forum, titled “Traffic Court Forum: What you need to know from traffic stop to final outcome,” at St. Raphael’s Church Gymnasium in San Rafael on October 9, 2008 from 7:00pm-9:00pm. The goals of this Forum were to facilitate a meaningful discussion about the public’s rights and responsibilities on the road, and in the courtroom, to educate the greater community about how traffic court operates, and to provide access to information about available resources.

The Traffic Court Forum was comprised of a brief overview and introductory comments from our moderator, 5-minute statements by the forum panelists and a structured Question & Answer session.

The forum was moderated by Cheryl Jennings – ABC7 News.

Forum panelists included:

  • Comm. Geoffrey Carter – Commissioner, Alameda County Superior Court
  • Olivia Beltran – Community Activist
  • Officer Mary Ziegenbein – California Highway Patrol
  • Officers James Bellamy – San Rafael Police Dept. Traffic Division

Supporters of this event included Social Justice Center of Marin, Canal Alliance, Marin Gray Panthers, Canal Welcome Center, the Marin County Youth Commission, Marin Immigrants Rights Coalition, Grassroots Leadership Network, Task Force on the Americas, Fair Housing of Marin, Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Vernon Crowley (Manager, Marin City Community Services District), Ambassadors of Hope & Opportunity, ISOJI, Women Helping All People and Marin Peace & Justice Coalition.

CJE’s Mission

CJE is a nonprofit organization based in San Rafael, California. Our mission is to protect child abuse and domestic violence survivors in the U.S. family court system and to foster accountability throughout the judicial branch.

For nearly two decades, the Center has been a voice for vulnerable children and a catalyst for child safety as we work tirelessly to expose the systemic failures in U.S. family courts that are harming countless children. We accomplish this by educating the media, lawmakers, and the public about the need for significant reforms while we spearhead legislation focused on keeping children safe and alive through their parent’s divorce or separation.
