Union County Circuit Court

This a great new facility. Security was easy to get through, and the officer was friendly. That's not what I'm here to review. The judge I witnessed was Wes Williams. I was not involved in any case here, I was purely there to observe. Judge Williams was probably the most empathetic and fair judge I've ever encountered in a circuit court of this style. He struck an excellent balance between taking the words of his DA and the defense attorneys, and his own experiences with the law to make his decisions. He gave every defendant full due process, almost to the point of exhaustion, and showed no bias towards any particular side during the time I viewed him at work. After one case, he went off the record to ask some questions to a defendant who had a very favorable outcome to a case, and showed a very human side without being unprofessional. We need more circuit court judges like this in the state of Oregon.

Kangaroo Court. Back woods. The ethics of the Judgement here are questionable at best.

The picture and address are for the Old Courthouse. The new courthouse is across K Street and is a nice new red brick building.
