Does the private judge use a courtroom?
Private judges are precluded by law from using the public court facilities. As a result, most private judges use conference rooms instead of courtrooms. Judge Talia and Judge Pearce feel strongly that people should have access to the same kind of physical plant in the private arena, and have created their own private courtroom which is designed to be comfortable and private, but provide the same amenities (witness stand, court reporter’s stand, judge’s bench) as are available at the public courts.
