THE ROBING ROOM

Judge Reyes is courteous to counsel, thoughtful in his approach, and listens well. He's also smart as a whip. He seems to embrace the idea that counsel often will understand a case better than a judge, as they are immersed in a way a judge with a busy docket cannot be; and this lack of arrogance advances the interests of all the parties, as it produces a more sensible, orderly, efficient hearing. A pleasure to appear before.
