In Entertainment Law News: Jenna Wolfe is pregnant and openly discussing the men who are not the father of her baby. Google
Trends is showing this as a hot topic for today. Yesterday she announced
that she was gay, and pregnant.
What will be
interesting is the laws that come into affect once she conceives the baby, and
if folks ever find out who the father is. If that father wants any
parental rights it could become a court battle. We will keep you
posted.

Recently the Los Angeles County Children's Courts have
been opened to the media (unless specifically closed by the judge in the courtroom).
This is a very large change as up till now children's court has
been a very locked down environment. In the past few people were allowed to
attend the hearings, and nearly no information was allowed to leave. This
of course has it's pros and cons. By opening the doors to the
media people can finally see how well
run, or badly run, this court
system is. The negative is information about these children may now
be available and disseminated to the public. That of course is unfair to
the children as it is not their decision who their parents are, or how they are treated. And in some cases the charges against parents
may not be true or accurate. So someone could be falsely portrayed as
a child abuser, a drug abuser, etc.
Some interesting information from the
article:
>About 25,000 cases annually go before the combined 21 judges,
commissioners and referees who oversee cases at the court,
>The appointed
attorneys can spend around $680 per case. This is a very small amount
considering bringing in an expert can easily cost $5,000.
>Court appointed
attorneys have around 150 cases at a time.
