From the Frisky:

Judge Lynn Toler has practiced law for more than two decades, but her legal career has led her down a path few of her peers have traveled. She was elected judge of the Cleveland Heights Municipal Court at the age of 33, and while on the bench, she worked with several organizations focusing on battered women and domestic violence. In 2001, Judge Toler became the host of “Power of Attorney,” but you probably know her best as the judge on ‘Divorce Court,’ a position she’s held since 2006.

Now, I’d be lying if I didn’t say I questioned Judge Toler’s abilities when I noticed my beloved Judge Mablean Ephraim was no longer on the ‘Divorce Court’ bench. But I quickly realized that Judge Toler heard her cases with genuine concern and interest, and offered insight and practical solutions, when possible, for the couples’ problems. She truly is a fair and impartial counselor. So I was really excited to speak with Judge Toler who, along with having an extensive legal and academic career, has also written two books, ‘My Mother’s Rules: A Practical Guide to Becoming an Emotional Genius’ and ‘Put It in Writing!: Creating Agreements Between Family and Friends’, co-authored with Deborah Hutchison.

Read her full interview, including the craziest cases she’s handled on ‘Divorce Court’ @ The Frisky.
