THE ROBING ROOM

Having appeared before Judge Reade during the past two years, I find that she is very intelligent, she issues decisions promptly, and her decisions are well reasoned. Even when she issues a decision adverse to your clients, she will give her reasons. I recognize that Judge Reade will issue lengthy criminal sentences; however, she will give a criminal defendant every opportunity during the trial. The harsh comments on this site do a disservice to her intelligence and dedication on the bench. I wish all judges had the same work ethic, and intelligence as Judge Reade does.
