Tamiza HockenhullMy current employment as a Commissioner requires that I apply my knowledge of the law concerning family, criminal, juvenile and civil matters. I must also apply my knowledge of specific California codes including the Vehicle, Penal, Evidence, Civil, Civil Procedure and the Code of Judicial Conduct.  I currently handle general civil and traffic assignments and I regularly cover our court’s child support calendar.  On a daily basis, I exercise judicial temperament and demeanor whether I am presiding over general civil cases including Law and Motion, Small Claims, Unlawful Detainer, Civil Harassment and Domestic Violence Restraining Orders as well as child support or traffic cases.  I am also responsible for issuing Emergency Protective Orders in domestic violence matters. Each of these assignments require me to analyze the law and evidence and issue either a written or an oral decision.  Each of the calendars I preside over include a mix of litigants who represent themselves as well as those who have retained counsel.  A larger percentage of the litigants who appear before me represent themselves.  Thus, I apply my knowledge of the various areas of law and I advise the litigants of their rights and the court’s procedure in each of the different case types.  I regularly analyze and interpret legal issues, principles and arguments; direct and control courtroom proceedings in a decisive, orderly and equitable manner and communicate in a concise and effective manner.   Chair, Law Day Subcommittee, Alameda County Superior Court (2021)Chair, Traffic Committee, Alameda County Superior Court (2018-2020)Member, Law Day and Community Outreach Committee, Alameda County Superior Court (2017- Present)Alameda County Bar AssociationThe Alameda County Bar Association (ACBA) is a professional membership association for lawyers and other members of the legal profession.
