An unusual civil case against a juvenile and domestic relations judge is moving forward after a Lynchburg circuit judge denied a motion from the defendant to dismiss the case on Friday.
City Attorney Walter Erwin III is seeking a writ of prohibition â a legal move preventing a judge from acting outside their jurisdiction â in response to a July 2018 letter in which Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court Judge Robert Louis Harrison attempted to compel the office to represent Lynchburg Department of Social Services in all foster care cases.
Harrison presides in Bedford County and also sits in Lynchburg.
Erwin had filed the writ because Harrisonâs letter threatened âimmediate sanctionsâ if his office failed to comply.
