A judge, or arbiter of justice, is a lead official who presides over a court of law, either alone or as part of a panel of judges. The powers, functions, method of appointment, discipline, and training of judges vary widely across different jurisdictions. The judge is like an umpire in a game and conducts the trial impartially and in an open court. The judge hears all the witnesses and any other evidence presented by the parties of the case, assesses the credibility of the parties, and then issues a ruling on the matter at hand based on his or her interpretation of the law and his or her own personal judgement. In some jurisdictions, the judge's powers may be shared with a jury, although this practice is starting to be phased out in some regions.

What are valid reasons for a judge to keep an Injuction against harassment in effect?
Q. The son of the owner of the apartments where I live has made physical threats against me. He has gotten in my face as if he is going to hit me. He intimidates me. I found out after I moved into the apartments that he has an extensive criminal history including assault on a police officer. His father (the owner) will not do anything about his son in fact he has paid thousands of dollars to bail him out of jail. If he hasn't physically touched me what can I say to a Judge to convince him/her that I am truly afraid for my life. One more thing the guy is a drug user the local police have tried but, can't get sufficient evidence on him to get him arrested for drugs.

A. You tell the judge what you just told us. Having said that, a restraining order is just a piece of paper. If a guy is willing to assault a police office, I doubt a piece of paper is going to keep him from coming after you. It might be time to move.
