Know Your Judge
New
York Judge Reviews
contains attorneys' candid comments about the rules, preferences and
idiosyncrasies of more than 300 sitting State Supreme Court Justices
compiled from interviews with hundreds of litigators.
Learn from other
attorneys’ experiences before your next appearance. Read their
revealing quotes, which include:
-
“He’s
not a settler. His recommendations always lowball plaintiffs.”
-
“He
doesn’t talk case law. He’s more fact-oriented.”
-
“Attorneys can evoke even more displeasure should they offer what he
considers to be pedestrian or hackneyed legal argument.”
-
“He
expects an incredible amount of decorum in his courtroom during trial.”
An average
of eight interviewees per State Supreme Court Judge were asked hard
questions about judicial personality, intelligence, trial management,
settlement skills, knowledge of the law, flexibility, bias, and more. The
easy to read--and often entertaining--reviews of judges make this book a
one-of-a-kind resource.
Two sample reviews from the
book (Judge names
omitted):
Temperament: “Cantankerous. Authoritarian. Overreacts.”
On the bench: “Bright, but he wastes his talent. Light on evidence.”
On trial: “Stickler for rules. Sua sponte objections.”
Adjournments: “Erratic.”
Proclivities: “He’s very evenhanded.”
Temperament: “He treats attorneys with the utmost respect. Patient. Good
sense of humor.”
On the bench: “He doesn’t start anything until 11:00. You can be there
all day on a motion. He may change his mind on oral argument. He’s not
afraid of being reversed.”
On trial: “Speedy. He gave a time limit on summation. His rulings are
all over.”
Settlements: “This judge evaluates cases a little bit closer than
others.”
Adjournments: “One or two, then move it.”
Proclivities: “He’s more pro-plaintiff on the numbers, but even on the
liability.”
Suggestions: “Be prepared to settle.”
The book also includes
biographical profiles on more than 350 judges set out in a clear,
easy-to-read format with the latest information about each judge:
-
Personal
history, including birth date, education, interests and activities
-
Memberships in
organizations and awards
-
Political
affiliation
-
Recent
publications
-
Teaching and
speaking engagements
-
Recent cases
-
Judge's own
rules
-
Address and
phone number, along with names of clerks and secretaries
Recent and
comprehensive information on county and state courts in New York, including
the names, addresses, phone numbers, and fax numbers of county officers and
personnel related to court functions, court officers and personnel, and an
up-to-date roster of the judges with their phone numbers.
The Judge reviews, Judge
biographical information, and comprehensive court contact information make
New York Judge Reviews an indispensable part of trial preparation
that will help you:
-
Formulate case
strategies
-
Unearth
potential bias
-
Assess the
