Judge gets a slap on wrist
An Ontario Court judge was given a warning yesterday for a "slip from grace" in tampering with court transcripts.
Family court Justice Marvin Zucker admitted to the Ontario Judicial Council that he committed judicial misconduct by making deletions and additions to court transcripts in a case where paralegal Harry Kopyto was trying to represent a woman battling a supervision application by Jewish Family and Children's Services.
In July 2005, Zucker refused to allow Kopyto to represent the women because of his history and for being "adversarial" in court -- remarks Zucker later removed from transcripts.

A family court judge is being sued in small claims court for altering transcripts by a paralegal and his client. Harry Kopyto and Robin Mayer are suing Justice Marvin Zuker for $10,000 -- the maximum
allowed in small claims court -- for lost income, court costs and punitive damages stemming from an incident two years ago in the judge's courtroom.
In July 2005, Zuker refused to allow Kopyto to represent Mayer in proceedings before him because of his history and for being "adversarial" in court -- remarks Zuker later had removed from the transcripts.
In May 2006, Zuker admitted before the Ontario Judicial Council that he tampered with the transcripts and he received a warning for his "slip from grace" by OJC chairman Justice Robert Blair.
"That slap on the wrist was ridiculous," Kopyto said yesterday. "We think he should be held accountable."
