THE ROBING ROOM

Of course he's a 'prosecutor's judge.' He was one of Fitzgerald's top prosecutors for a long time, and the one who sent Ryan to jail. He enjoys almost rock star status according to 'American Lawyer' and others, but this man is completely biased and sides with government almost always, regardless of the evidence presented. He also has a problem multi-tasking and clearly needs to decide whether he wants to teach his law classes at Northwestern University or be a judge. He obviously has a problem doing both simultaneously and those who are awaiting decisions must put their lives on hold forever until he decides he has tme to be bothered working on their cases. He just appears to be disinterested. The Civil Justice Reform Act Report ALWAYS lists him as having dozens of motions pending for six or more months.
