THE ROBING ROOM

I don't get it. I sat through three oral arguments this week in Miami where the judge sat as a panel member. He was polite, well-prepared, patient, asked thoughtful, perceptive questions, and worked well with the other panel members. I was with four other lawyers. They all felt the same way. the three cases were criminal and civil. I did not see any of the negative qualities complained about with this judge. I was expecting a horrible experience, and the judge was a pleasure to appear before, and I do not think there was anyone in the courtroom who felt differently.
