THE ROBING ROOM

Judge Hughes fails basic adjudicative responsibilities to be dignified and respectful in performing his duties. He berates both plaintiffs and defendants. But he does not appear to actually invest time in understanding the issues before the court. And while many of his bad decisions will be reversed by the Court of Appeals, he will waste your time and money with his reckless behavior. Judge Hughes appears to want, more than anything, for you to laugh at his jokes. He's not particularly funny or clever, but just laugh and hope for the best. Hughes is moderate in sentencing. As for positives, he is punctual.
