He broke almost every rule in the book. He misunderstood the IP laws involved, decided the case based on speculation and not the evidence before him, and did 'research' on the side and then came into court and used it. About the only smart thing he did was stay the case to permit an appeal on which he was reversed.

Outstanding jurist. Concise understanding of the law and appreciation of legislative intent. Takes his job very seriously and takes the time to have a full understanding of an area before writing.

Has definite opinions but they don't sseem to have much to do with the prevailing law or even an arguable extension or modification of the established law.

Judge Marrero is pleasant to deal with and allows counsel a fair opportunity to be heard. He's just not smart. He cannot master complex fact scenarios or nuances in the law. I, too, have seen him get the law completely wrong on issues any federal judge sees regularly.

Pretty good jurist all around. I am defending a routine personal injury case before him and he does not at all seem inclined to try the case or otherwise become involved.

The Judge dismissed an antitrust lawsuit regarding naked short stock sales, largely due to his belief that jurors couldn't understand the issues. This reasoning seems to me to be a travesty to justice. The law was not protected nor enforced and the populace (investors) was not well served.

'The Constitution was designed so that the dangers of any given moment would never suffice as justification for discarding fundamental individual liberties or circumscribing the judiciary's unique role under our governmental system in protecting those liberties and upholding the rule of law.' - Federal court judge Victor Marrero, brilliantly worded. This man has earned a very deep respect from me, for upholding our nation's firmest beliefs.

It's refreshing to hear that someone is protecting our rights these days. That's the real war that we're in. Thank you, Judge Marrero!

Just want to say thanks for standing up for America....not the Bush Crime Family take on 'patriotism' but the cold, hard, real thing. Cheers!

I'm not a constitutional expert by any stretch, but I am certainly appreciative of any attempt to protect citizens from unchecked, unbalanced power. The Patriot Act has always reminded me of the quote about sacrificing liberty to obtain security (I've seen too many variations and attributions of the quote for me to try to get it right here). In my opinion, Marrero's words as quoted in comment 4756 rank just as highly in importance and gravity in the current 'War on Terror'.

A pleasure to appear in his court. He reads the parties' papers and listens to the lawyers' arguments. A very respectful and patient jurist.

I really enjoy appearing before this judge. He is courteous, patient, respectful of lawyers and always very well prepared. Very reasonable with scheduling and flexible if parties need his assistance.

The last numerical rating for Judge Marrero -- posted by Court staff, without leaving any comments -- gave him 10s across the board. I would strongly consider the source of this numerical rating in light of other, more balanced ratings, when evaluating Judge Marrero.
