    Judge Duncan's advice parallels my own years sitting on the bench. (Leonard Edwards California Administrative Office of the Courts 2009-01-01)

    Offers three alternatives to court: The 'kitchen table divorce,' mediation or the collaborative law divorce. (Oakland Tribune 2009-01-01)

    Anyone who is thinking about a divorce should read Judge Duncan's book. (Herma Hill Kay 2009-01-01)
