THE ROBING ROOM

Judge McCormick was the discovery and settlement judge for us in a complex civil case. He short circuited discovery disputes by allowing phone calls and was even handed; ruled both ways, but never could complain about his reasoning. He spent countless hours settling our case and was creative, fair, and non-tiring. We've tried to use him in other federal civil cases as a settlement judge whenever we are in Santa Ana. He should be a district court judge.
