Philadelphia Family Court Judge Lyris F. Younge, who has been under investigation by the Judicial Conduct Board since The Legal Intelligencer detailed her history of due process violations against parents and children, has been temporarily reassigned to the Court of Common Pleas Trial Division.

Younge has been absent from the bench for nearly a month as she has been on chambers duty. Her hearings have been handled by her colleague, Judge Joseph Fernandes, who in some cases has undone Younge’s rulings that separated children from their families.
