While a magistrate he was biased in favor of corporations and the wealthy. Wasted 6 years of my life but was saved by judge Matsumoto who solved the case in my favor purely based on documentary evidence.
Third-world kind of court.

Seems to get off on excoriating lawyers for perceived mistakes. His conduct is embarrassing and reprehensible.

Judge Bulsara is a smart and capable judge, but he has a serious temperament problem. He is prone to flying off the handle and screaming at the lawyers. He has no ability to control himself in moments when he gets angry. It’s unbecoming of the profession and of our judiciary. He needs help.

The Man Won't Make a Decision. Pro Government - Used to get you off the Docket. Not a fan. Was general counsel for SEC. Designed to make you leave.

Bulsara is super smart; he has the temperament and balance. Bulsara is a new MJ but one can foretell his impressive contribution and rise in the judiciary.
