Are they hot or not?
There’s a site for lawyers to anonymously rate and comment on federal district court judges — it’s called The Robing Room, and it dubs itself “the place where judges are judged.”
Sample comments:
- Outstanding judge. Should be cloned.
- Had to be admonished by Presiding Judge that he could not mandate that female attorneys wear skirt suits only in his court. Sexist. Archaic and not bright.
- Dominated by her insecurities. Can be very rude and perfunctory. Seems to take pleasure in trying to embarrass criminal defense attorneys even in front of the jury. A judge to avoid if at all possible.
- By far the smartest judge I have ever appeared in front of. He is a former first assistant US attorney who absolutely abhors even the whiff of prosecutorial misconduct. He demands much from attorneys but gives much in return.
- Jabba the Hut in a black robe.
