Always f%@#ing second!

Do you guys steal everything from the Wall Street Law Blog?

It is comforting to know that if I miss a day or two of WSJ Blog, ATL will carry the item days later.

Prosecutors in my f**king high school used to receive f**king vulgar profanity-laced voicemail messages from judges, in violation of pertinent f**king judicial disciplinary rules, all the f**king time, it was no big f**king deal.

3-4: Uh, the story wasn't original to the WSJ. They just rewrote the National Law Journal piece:

http://blogs.wsj.com/law/2009/08/11/curses-angry-judge-suspended-for-expletive-filled-voice-mail/

I haven't read the WSJ blog since Peter Lattman left.

So I am glad when ATL picks out the highlights.

One time, a judge left a pubic hair on my coke can.

One time as I bent over to pick up some business papers that I had dropped on the floor, Sotomayor (this was pre-confirmation) reached down and credit-carded me

One time at band camp a judge ORDERED AND ADJUDGED a flute to be placed in my 'tang.

Let me just say that Judge of the day is my favorite spiel on ATL.

It's so great to see these high-and-mighty bastards called out.

I am going to offer an old timer's practitioners' tip on how to deal with judges: Be prepared, know your case well and be on time. I guarantee no judge will ever lash out at you if you follow that simple tip. Are there bad judges with bad tempers out there? Sure. I dealt with many early in my career. One time I had a judge deny a pre-trial motion I had filed. I filed an appeal and prevailed. I saw the judge at a social function a few years later and although I had forgotten about the judge, he never forgot about me and came over and tried to act apologetic and graceful. In my experience, judges hate getting overturned by appellate courts. If a judge ever got out of line with me, I simply would remind him/her that he/she is subject to rules of professional conduct and that I would not hesitate to file a complaint with the administrative office of the courts.

Worse PE post. He is trying to do too much.

9 - Pre-confirmation indeed. Post-confirmation I hear her schtick will be to hit America with a Howitzer-class strap-on.

You guys got the details wrong. That was actually the voicemail Dean Treanor left for Reed Smith.

first to say the US national soccer team is fucking pathetic. fire bob bradley.

Is there anyway that I can friend you on facebook without being put on a limited profile status?

Will he change his temper after 120 days?

f&*%$ awesome!!

It's posts like this that make you realize that PE has never practiced law a day in his life. Back to Cooley you dumb bitch.

PE is right on. 21, go back to doc review.

Correction: 22, go back to doc review.

uggh, litigators curse. Shoving something so far up one's butt that it hits their throat suggests violence. Still, the prosecutor is a biatch for turning in the judge. I think the prosecutor and judge should duke it out like real men.

I have no judge going off on my stories, because I have never seen a courtoom in my life. However, I finally got to be third chair at a big deposition last month.

I have been a TRIAL ATTORNEY for over 20 years. That means I actually try cases, not just talk about trying them. I appear in court more frequently than you pay young guys to bang you hard up your ass. And in that time I have NEVER seen an attorney threaten to file a complaint against a judge.

This comment is addressed to post no. 27.

I offer my condolences to you for wasting away 20 years in kangaroo courts. You obviously practice in courts where attorneys lack the temerity and backbone to remonstrate a judge when that judge has acted inappropriately. While I have never had to file a complaint against a judge in my career, I know of colleagues that have, and you would be surprised how apologetic the judges behave when shown the error of their ways. Judges are public servants, not gods. Now go worship your county judge's shrine you pathetic bootlicker.

@23 -- You are a complete moron. Have you ever been in a courtroom? Have you ever appeared in front of a judge like Manny Real in CD Cal.? Doubt it. Still waiting for bar results, aren't you?

If PE's "experinece" is that trial courts hate being reversed, he doesn't have much. Some of them do, others don't care much one way or the other.

to 29: how did you even get into a law school? Your logic makes no sense. Do I need to appear before a particular judge in a particular court in order to share my experience/opinion? Or are you saying that every judge is like Manny Real? Well, congrats on your one court appearance in C.D. Cal. Now, go back to doc review.

The correct response when dealing with a judge like this is to give it back to him, not to run to your boss and ask for help. We are trial attorneys, not school children complaining to the teacher about a bully. Someone is rude to you, handle it.

Judge Holden once caught me in the jakes.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that Nebraska elects county judges? Always an excellent plan.

Doesn't the judge:
a) have freedom of speech protection
b) Res 90 claim against the prosecutor?

"in love and in court" --> "in court and courting"

would it have killed you kash?
