THE ROBING ROOM

The very best judge on the bench in the Eastern District, but not easy to deal with if you are not fully prepared. He does not suffer fools or foolishness. He will be fully prepared for argument and trial. You should be full prepared too. He is truly brilliant, and has an incredibly vast knowledge and understanding of of the law. His job is his passion in life. There is no substitute for preparation when you have a case with Judge Karlton. He is definitely not an activist as he is sometimes portrayed by sore losers. On the contrary, he has a great deal of respect for the law and judicial process and will provide excellent written opinions and orders that are fully supported by authority. If you enjoy practicing law before a smart, well prepared, experienced judge, then you will enjoy practicing before Judge Karlton. Is is everything a lawyer could ask for in a good judge, which is very rare.
