After his experience in Queens Family Court, Mihai Muset has a slightly different perspective on the system of justice in his native Romania. During Communist rule in 1982, when he was 24 years old, he was arrested for carrying a protest banner in Bucharest.

"I was sentenced to two months in prison," he recalled, "but at least I got to appear in court and talk to the judge. That's more than I got in Family Court."
