THE ROBING ROOM

I appeared today before Magistrate Gorenstein for the first time on a serious personal injury matter that was before the Court based on diversity jurisdiction. Magistrate Gorenstein was well versed in the issues, had clearly read our submissions and did an exemplary job in bringing the case to a swift and fair conclusion. He was generous with his time and fair to both sides. His style was to take control and it worked well. He conferenced separately with both sides and gave us each an opportunity to discuss our respective positions without showing any wisp of partiality. Without his input, this case never gets resolved. I thank him and hope to have the opportunity to be in his courtroom again in the near future
