THE ROBING ROOM

In Mediation, she will keep you captive all day and into the night -- even if everyone is tired, hungry, thirsty and the air is off in the building. She will try to talk to your client outside of your presence and try to degrade you as an attorney in front of your client. She threatens the plaintiff with being saddled with the defendants' costs if they lose and fails to acknowledge case law that applies certain criteria to such decisions, particularly in civil rights cases, rather than automatically taxing costs to all plaintiffs who do not prevail. I don't know how she is on the bench, since she was assigned to my case only as a Mediator.
