THE ROBING ROOM

She is new. Former prosecutor with no civil experience other than clerking for a federal judge some years beack. She does appear to have all of the makings of a good judge. Seems a little testy with discovery fights, but I figure that's simply because she doesn't have the perspective due to lack of civil practice background. Nonetheless, she appears to be very knowledgeable on evidentiary and procedcural issues, and can run an efficient trial. That, unfortunately, places her far above many of her colleagues.
