THE ROBING ROOM

Imperious, mean-spirited, Holier-than-thou, abusive and degrading towards counsel and parties alike. One of the best descriptions that I have heard of the man came from a civil lawyer who described him as someone who made up 'his mind forty years ago.' Superficially and briefly charming, his true character shows through very quickly. I've seen him abuse jurors, witnesses, law enforcement, and counsel with alacrity. By disposition and temperment, he was a horrible choice for the bench. Making matters worse, he is not very smart. He denigrates those who appear before him as a way of compensating for his lack of intellect.
