GAL Bureaucrat
Nominated to 2nd District Court!
(Alert for 6/6/04
— Updated on 7/12/04)
Update for 7/12/04: Parrish's nomination is over.
Gov. Walker nominated John R. Morris Jr. instead. Morris
must be confirmed by the Utah Senate.
Summary: Robert Parrish, a managing attorney for Utah's
notorious anti-family Guardian ad Litem's office, has been
nominated to fill a 2nd district court vacancy. Act now to
make sure he does not obtain the power to abuse families on a
far greater scale.

1. Judicial Nominating Commission Selects Rights Abuser
The Judicial Nominating
Commission has chosen five nominees to fill a vacancy in
Utah's 2nd district. Among those nominees is Robert
Parrish, managing attorney (Layton office) of the Guardian ad
Litem Office. Parrish also served as an Assistant
Attorney General and was the Chief Child Abuse Counsel for the
Utah Attorney General's Office.
GALs are tasked by state statute
to represent the interests of the children involved. As
Accountability Utah has repeatedly pointed out in our
publications (see the
Due
Process for Parents & Families section of our Issues &
Alerts page), the GAL office is another tool to secure federal
funds by destroying children and families. In many cases
we have documented, General Shurtleff and his subordinates
have also been instrumental in these attacks. See, for
example, "DCFS Says AG's Office Doesn't Care About Children's Best
Interest!" and "AG Shurtleff Denies Parker Jensen Treatment!"
If Parrish is allowed to become
a judge, he will have virtually unchecked power to harass and
attack innocent owners—and to further his unconstitutional,
anti-family efforts.
