Division 2 in the Torrance Court recentlt saw the return of a respected Jurist, the Honorable Judge Sandra Thompson.  She was missed during her absence, and many waited patiently for her return to the bench.   Judge Thompson has been on the bench for many years, handling the criminal calendar for cities such as Hermosa Beach, Rancho Palos Verdes, Lomita, Manhattan Beach, Rolling Hills and RPV.  For many attorneys, her return was a welcome sight, her rulings have always been respected as fair and legally correct.  For those that have appeared in her Courtroom, litigants were sure to get a warm greeting and a bench officer that actually listened and cared about the cases she hears.
