Although retired judge Verna A. Adams served more than 24 years on the Marin County Superior Court bench, she didn't spend much time in trial. "In the Marin court, I was very proud of the fact that I didn't really try very many cases because I settled them," Adams said. "I only had a full-on, trial top to bottom maybe two or three times a year. We had a lot of preliminary skirmishes - temporary orders, that sort of thing."
