THE ROBING ROOM

Extremely capable. Judge Kennelly's motion call is a model of efficiency. He can quickly spot weak and made-up arguments and they can exasperate him and cause him to speak sharply to let the lawyer know he knows. He wants counsel to cooperate and dislikes discovery disputes in particular. He is flexible in scheduling with the caveat that he moves cases along, and if there is no good reason for extensions he may not grant them. Rulings are prompt and to the point.
