THE ROBING ROOM

Although she detained our client while duty magistrate, it was a close case. While she ultimately accepted the government's exaggerated proffers, we got some early discovery which may be useful in resolving the case. She appeared evenhanded, gave us all the time we needed and let us make our arguments, without restriction. Her temperament is beyond assail. Listening to her conduct pleas, she appeared thorough, courteous and professional and didn't need to hear herself pontificate like some others sitting up there. From other defense counsel in her Court, the word is that she's generally OK.
