THE ROBING ROOM

This federal judge apparently strikes deals with the parties with the greatest wealth in the case. He then renders his decision in a way that will favor his partner in the case. In our case he disallowed evidence that would have had a material impact on the decision due to the defendant's allegation that an attorney-client relationship existed when the evidence was created. He is unprofessional and really should retire. His lack of professionalism was demonstrated when he called the plaintiff into his chambers and threatened her that his decision would ensure that she would 'get nothing' if he had to decide the case and that she should let him try to get what he call a 'fair settlement'. He was right -- the plaintiff got nothing as the jury was not allowed to hear the evidence in the trial.
