Some attorneys call 3rd District Judge David S Young's courtroom "The Evil Kingdom" Others have dubbed it "The House of No Joy" The judge's detractors say he is an arbitrary arrogant man who intimidates people — and should not be on the bench "He hates everybody" snaps one attorney "He's the most vicious judge it has been my misfortune to appear before" Supporters call Young brilliant and highly professional "He's a fine judge and an upstanding man" says Salt Lake attorney Phil Fishier who attended the University of Utah's law school with Young "He's getting a bad rap" During the 1990 election voters gave Young the highest percentage of retention votes of the nine 3rd District judges on the ballot Two years ago fellow judges elected Young to the prestigious Utah Judicial Council And last year he was one of three finalists for a seat on the Utah Court of Appeals But now the Young is accused of bias against women and gays and organizations arn calling for his removal from the bench The National Organization for Women (NOW) and a small network of concerned women in Summit County where Young has presided the past six months are outraged that the judge prevented a Park City mother of three from moving to Oregon with her children Alicia Larson's children must stay in Utah so they can be reared in a proper Mormon environment Young stated in a July divorce ruling "The move to Corvallis is not curnpatible with the religious 50-- -

That's a tough question to answer Complaints about Utah judges are well-kesecrets except in the rare case when the Judicial Conduct Commission decides to mete out a public sanction The commission reviews residents' complaints and can recommend that the Utah Supreme Court reprimand suspend or remove a judge from the bench But during the past three fiscal years it dismissed nearly every complaint before it Only one judge has been disciplined publicly in the past nine years The watchdog seems toothless NOW and GLUD members say They believe their best alternative is to complain publicly Last month more than 100 people gathered at the state Capitol to protest Thacker's sentence and to demand Young's ouster "We hope the press is forcing a change" says Summit County resident Mary Van Sic len Coelho who claims Young unfairly sliced her alimony award "With everything being secret we had no guarantee that anything would happen "People said You can try the Judicial Conduct Commission' " Coelho explains "But the second half of the sentence was 'Don't expect much?
