THE ROBING ROOM

Judge Mendez is difficult and arrogant. He does not prepare his own orders and does not prepare well, if at all, for oral argument. His knoweldge of the law is suspect at best, and he acts more as an advocate than a judge. Have not been in trial with Judge Mendez yet, as he is fairly new to the bench. Have only talked to two attorneys who have tried cases before Judge Mendez, and both were very unimpressed.
