THE ROBING ROOM

Very smart, but quite smarmy in proceedings, berating lawyers for mistakes and showing how much smarter he is that they. He loves to embarrass lawyers and can be withering in his treatment of them. He tends to want to explain every decision he makes during a trial, in order to justify it, when the parties would prefer him just to rule and move on. On the other hand, he is a class gentleman in front of the jury, treating all in the courtroom with respect, and even allowing jurors to submit questions to witnesses (he filters them for appropriateness). Know his rules, know his pet peeves, and be completely prepared and you will do fine. His coordiantor is first class, as well.
