THE ROBING ROOM

Judge Robertson on Senior Status now, and while a former civil rights lawyer who worked for integration in the South and a Clinton appointee, has become very conservative. He is deferential to the government even when it makes absurd arguments, and is not so respectful to counsel. However, in front of the jury, he is much more polite. He does have a fine quality: respect for a jury verdicts, although he seems to have fewer and fewer as he has gotten older. He seems to have secured very good clerks from what DC practitioners have observed. Listen closely to what he says, and answer directly when he asks questions. His civil rights background and his passion for the rights of the individual can be sparked with your hard work and sincerity.
