The areas in which these reforms should take place are twofold. An argument that Judge Ross repeatedly raises is that steps should be taken to ensure the sustainability of Family Court employees through a more manageable workload. The need for this change is evident in the countless examples of children suffering from an ever-changing and dispersed staff. In one particular case, a six-month-old child abuse case is adjourned because they “did not have the medical records” in time (128).
