THE ROBING ROOM

I have mostly mostly good (and a some bad) things to say about him. On the plus side: He works hard, is intelligent, and is evenhanded. Although he's a former prosecutor, I haven't been able to discern any favoritism toward the government. The negative is his demeanor: he appears humorless and is sometimes impatient and rude to counsel. And he is somewhat inflexible when it comes to case scheduling and giving time to the parties to resolve the case before trial.
