Congratulations on this venture Judge Brownstone! Accurate and timely legal information on family law matters over the internet is a huge step forward for the goal of improving public access to justice. Whether a person is going through the end of a relationship or not, this kind of information will be helpful. You are to be commended for taking this on and I wish you success.

This is a very good idea and I hope that you are successful with this endeavor. The only negative comment on this particular episode is that the sound on the female lawyer is not good and I would have made sure that the quality of your show is first class.

Hello, I think you meant to comment on the collaborative divorce episode. Actually the quality of our show is broadcast quality but we're embedding with blip.tv and that's why there may be problems with the audio, etc. We're in the process of building our own site with our own video player and that should alleviate these problems.

This show is FABULOUS!! Judge Brownstone is a natural at this. He has missed his calling. He should be a talk show host on TV. He asks all the right questions and keeps the discussion on track. Why don't more people know about this show? Why isn't it mandatory viewing for very couple who break up? Congrats to this brave judge who has broken through the shroud of secrecy that has encloistered the judiciary for centuries. This man is a national treasure.

FINALLY a public information show hosted by someone who knows what he is talking about. I just love this show. PLEASE PLEASE make more episodes. In my opinion every Grade 11 law class in every high school should be showing these episodes. This is the most unique, informative talk show, and I wish there were a way more people could find out about it. I only stumbled across it because I appeared before Justice Brownstone in Family Court and decided to google him because I was so impressed with the way he dealt with my husband and me. My teenage daughter was also present and she said, "this guy rocks! Are all judges like him?" So please keep up the good work. In time the good word about this show will definitely spread. It's too good not to!

Thank you, Justice Brownstone for this inspiring and refreshing initiative. Your ability to 'step out of the box', is very admirable despite what I am sure could be considered obstacles from others of your profession and the Family Law circle as a whole. I wish more Judges would think like you do, as I believe it really would help and contribute to the reversal of all the adversity in Family Law today. I am especially thankful for your interest in keeping the children out of the middle of custody issues and educating parents and associates alike, of the need to work collaboratively for the sake of the children. The need for awareness and understanding on the long term effects hostile custody issues have on our children is so greatly underestimated. With this awareness and an new found ideology that things don't have to be this way I believe it would greatly benefit, not only our children, but our communities as a whole. I wish you every success in this new and exciting venture, thank you so much Justice Brownstone..
