To start, we have the sad news that retired federal magistrate judge Dube passed away. Head over to DOM's blog where has up his post in 2013 about Judge Dube when he retired. Judge Dube was a wonderful and decent man, a pleasure to appear in front of, a Marine, and the kind of Miamian that made this city great.
There are 48 days left in 2025. Wow. And speaking of trials, that leaves the next two weeks, and the weeks of December 1, 8, and 15 to get those trials in. And it is never too soon to remind all of our readers on the very first and most important of Rumpole's rules for practicing law- never ever ever agree to allow a case to be set for trial the first week of the new year- and the first two weeks if you can help it.
What Rumpole is reading: Frozen River, by Ariel Lawhorn- a murder mystery novel taking place in Maine in the 18th century. Be prepared to be cold with the amazing descriptions of Maine's winter. The War of Art, by Stephen Pressfield. How does resistance manifest itself in myriad forms in the artist, and what the artist can do to overcome it. American Coach, The Triumph and Tragedy of Notre Dame Legend Frank Leahy, by Ivan Maisel. A Big Mess in Texas by David Fleming, about the 1952 Dallas Texans, the team, and Buddy Young's fight to become an NFL player and overcome his diminutive size and racism. Gettysburg: The Tide Turns, by Bruce Chadwick- an oral history of the battle at Gettysburg told though diaries, letters and firsthand accounts.
What Rumpole is watching- the new Springsteen Biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere, (naturally), and on Netflix- Death By Lightening- the series adaptation of the remarkable recent book about the election and assassination of President James Garfield. The first two episodes are superb.
A beautiful November weekend awaits, and perhaps a winner in this epic REGJB Survivor Pool battle.
