A quick definition of quasi-judicial duty:

Quasi-judicial duty is a type of duty that a non-judicial officer may perform under certain circumstances. It is a discretionary judicial duty that a person owes in an official or fiduciary capacity. A duty is an obligation that one person owes to another, and it needs to be fulfilled. There are different types of duties, such as legal duty, moral duty, and fiduciary duty. A duty can be perfect or imperfect, active or passive, and delegated or non-delegable. Duties can also be related to taxes, such as import duty, estate duty, and tonnage duty.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Quasi-judicial duty is a discretionary judicial duty that a nonjudicial officer may perform under some circumstances. It can also refer to any action, performance, task, or observance owed by a person in an official or fiduciary capacity.

Example: A city council member may have a quasi-judicial duty to hear and decide on zoning appeals. In this case, the council member is not a judge, but they are performing a judicial function in their official capacity. Another example of a quasi-judicial duty is a corporate board member's duty to act in the best interests of the company and its shareholders.

These examples illustrate how a person in an official or fiduciary capacity may have a duty to make decisions that are similar to those made by a judge, but they are not actually judges themselves. They must use their discretion and judgment to make decisions that are fair and just.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
