THE ROBING ROOM

Judge Bucklew requires its litigants to be ultra prepared and she does it 'by the book.' I represented serveral indiviuals that were being sued by a multi-national corporation, and she was very fair with her rulings and did not give the corporation any breaks or leeway. Be certain that you can substantiate your position with caselaw and provide her with your caselaw before the hearing. Lastly, make sure you can abide with the deadlines set forth in your case management report. If you cannot, file a timely motion for extension of time--she is generally willing to grant such motions, but she will not allow missed deadlines and will not hesitate to sanction the attorney involved.
