Unlike most other courts, Family Court sessions are secret, so reporters and the general public are not allowed to see and hear for themselves Cholakis' questionable judicial temperament.

There are many first-hand reports of Cholakis' unprofessional conduct. Some are presented here, but there are surely many others. We encourage people who have experienced the dark side of Judge Cholakis to share their stories here, in complete anonymity.

Cholakis is running for re-election this year, (Nov. 6, 2012) and the more voters are aware of her terrible record, the less likely it will be that Rensselaer County families and children will have to endure 10 more years of this unprofessional judge.

Why is Kiki lying about her opponent?

Kiki Cholakis was at the fund-raising breakfast at the Castleton Fire Company on Sunday, Oct. 14, 2012. She went table to table being introduced to residents by Debra Young, Schodack Town Board member, former Schodack Republican Club officer and candidate for Rensselaer County Court.

Some residents later reported that Cholakis claimed that her opponent had "no court experience" and they found it unprofessional and nasty - just as many people describe Cholakis' judicial temperament.

 The incident is troubling for a number of reasons - first, judicial candidates have strict rules they must abide by when campaigning. One of the rules is that they can't bad-mouth the other candidates.

In bad-mouthing and lying about her opponent, Cholakis clearly demonstrated that she feels the rules don't apply to her. She also shows she is out of touch with the people who live in this county.
  • Does she really think that everyone she talks to is a partisan who supports her?
  • Does she really think people are unaware of her record?
  • Does she really believe that nobody knows her opponent's solid record as an attorney?
  • Does she really think that nobody knows she is lying and breaking the rules?
  • Does she really think that people aren't talking about it?

 But more to the point - does Kiki Cholakis think that her behavior demonstrates that she is a professional and ethical judge worthy of remaining on the bench?
