After taking the time to read what everyone has wrote in regards to this particular judge in Clackamas County I am appalled. I cannot believe that she is still sitting on a seat at Clackamas county courts and is allowed to treat people this way and not go by the letter of the law. My understanding is when someone is elected and that they are a sitting judge that they are to follow the law and be a representation of the law to people that are not judges but she obviously did not get the memo when she graduated law school. My foster daughter was in her courtroom yesterday and the judge awarded custody of my nine month old granddaughter to a person who kidnapped the my grand daughter and is not blood family. The woman who has as a child lied and repeated what others had said to her which my understanding in every hearing that I’ve ever been in is considered hearsay and is in admissible and she allowed it. My daughter presented evidence to show that she has indeed asked for her daughter numerous occasions but this judge did not look at the evidence!!! This judge took it upon herself to take advantage of a person with disabilities who did not have the money to fight this or afford an attorney! The women who “was” a family friend is a predator and knew exactly what she was doing when she offered to help my daughter! I said to my daughter all along I do not trust this person but my daughter is naïve and trusted this women who knew good and well if she kept the child away from my daughter and waited 6 months she could file for permanent guardianship! This non blood relative was awarded my foster daughters 9 month old daughter!!! Furious and disgusted!!!! I will be contacted the Oregon State Bar and reporting this Judge who is “elected” by the people and needs to loose her seat on the Clackmas County Courts!

I had to rate a 1 if i could a negative 200 because of the fact she has judged my daughters father in the past on his crimes, and later on gave him custody as he was a repetitive offender, she did not hear what i had to say at all, and i was advised from legal counsil, she cut me off, said you had your chance you didnt take it to contest, custody goes to father. she oversaw his historical criminal history and was extremely biased towards me was a very very short hearing. i said things bad would happen, a mth later he got arrested for a duii with endangering welfare of a person that person was a 11 and half month yr old that he fled with prior, due to her negligence in how she did the hearing, and lack of listening, and under code of judisical conduct, she failed my child and me, where he got cps involved again to where corruption has severely came from it, now father has kidnapped child and abducted her past 8 months, even though i was deemed fit and safe and no drugs or mental illness or safety concerns with the trial in may short few months prior. i plan to sue, and come after any judge, case worker, i am going to do a lawsuit, getting all ducks in a row, im coming.

Judge Norby needs to be REMOVED from the bench. She is the worst Judge in Oregon. She makes up rules, disregards the law. Refuses to look at evidence even if by an expert witness such as doctors. Where did she get her medical degree? She thinks she is GOD. There is place in hell for this woman.

Judge Susie L Norby was extremely biased in favor of my ex-husband in my divorce hearing. She awarded him full equity in the marital/family home and did not review or use any exhibits which included exact numbers for assets and liabilities, but she literally took his word on what the 'value' of everything was, such as his truck, his 2nd home in Alaska, his personal property in Alaska, he told her he had no guns stored in Alaska,the boat/trailer and truck were only worth $5,000 and she put the $20,000 suit money that was previously awarded to me on my assets column, against me. That was handed down to my ex-husband because he paid for his divorce attorney thru his company account, where he had ample resources to to pay for his attorney, new truck, all new veneers, two new trailers etc. Extremely dis-enfranchised by Clackamas County Court system, their lack of concern for fair and equitable, lack of investigation, Judge did not even read or look into the 16 Exhibits I had prepared and brought to the hearing, she would not even take the Exhibit from me when I approached to show her. She also allowed my ex-husbands Trust Attorney to be a Witness and explain how he always wanted to give the Alaska Property to one of daughters only, and changed title to the property 15 years ago and that he was sure I knew about it. How could I recuse her when I had no idea who she was. There needs to be a review from every citizen in Clackamas County regarding Judge Susie L Norby, I encourage everybody to please take the time to explain your case with Judge Norby, her lack of honor and regard to protocol and get her removed. This is by far not her first complaint and they have all been swept under the judicial rug.

This judge was unwilling to hear testimony, including expert witnesses, and made it clear that she was too busy and, later, "tired of hearing it." However, when it was time for her ruling she talked about how she could not only use the law but could "draw from her personal experiences." She then told a personal story about her mother and father, which to me was unprofessional and surprising. She said that she "hoped" the personal story would have moral changing over the parent who continued to disparage the other parent to the child. She also did not present her ruling in writing so there was later confusion over what she had ruled. That frustrated everyone, but mostly her when the attorneys needed clarification and an additional hearing was requested by the defendant. During that hearing she dismissed reimbursable child health expenses that the plaintiff had incurred for the minor child that were covered by a temporary limited judgement, thus allowing the defendant to free himself of any child expenses since March 2020. Finally, her ruling was not protective of the minor child. If you have a family law case with her, get another judge.

Bias, picks and chooses which evidence she will hear, punishes protective parents, clearly knows nothing about domestic violence or just likes to see children hurt. Makes outlandish and wildly inappropriate rulings. Has somehow maintained fhe bench despite showing clear mental health issues such as “breaking out” of a court room using and damaging courtroom furniture instead of using a phone to call for assistance.

Judge Norby sometimes has ability to think outside the box in reaching solutions. But too often I have observed an odd calculus of vindictive attitude with absolutely arrogant behavior. She has had all too often the demeanor of Marie Antoinette. But there is talent and a desire to do the right thing as she understands it. On an off day, she is blinded by her own perception of wisdom

In Septermber of 2019, based on fabricated and hearsay evidence and no prior history of drug abuse, Judge Norby ruled in favor of my ex-wife (a state social worker with no certified qualifications in drug addiction assessment, who still somehow testifies regulalry in Clackamas Circuit Court in such matters) that I was an "imminent danger" to our child.

Several months later, at trial in 2020, after submitting consecutive clean UAS and eyewitness testimony that at the alleged time my wife planted and staged the evidence, I was safetly and soberly with my child playing at a sport's clinic.

The 2020 trial judge vacated Judge Norby's erroneous and biased decision. However, I am now left with an allegation of "imminent danger" on my permanent civil record that could disqualify me from future employment in my chosen field that involves working with criminal-justice involved juveniles .

Based on the court record, Judge Norby is too quick to believe her first impressions and appears to harbor a bias against fathers in contentious civil custody disputes. At the least, Judge Norby could have withheld her ruling until after awaiting the results of a drug test, which I said at the hearing before her that I was more than willing to take.

Judge Norby also has a history of bizarre outbursts from breaking antique marble in her judicial office to "rapping" her verdict to person's of color appearing before her. which made the national news and brought disgrace to Clackamas Co. Circuit Court.

It appears that Judge Norby is incapable of seperating her personal biases and impulses from her professional judgicial opinions and is therefore unfit to hold office.
