Anonymous hits a home run:
Rump:It seems that you have achieved your blog's goals: to provide a place for MJB attorneys to discuss their grievances and perhaps, even have them addressed. Special applause to the Judges Schwartz: they have accepted criticism and pledged to do better (and they’re already pretty good in my book). What more could us lowly lawyers ask for?
Anonymous (so you don’t think I’m sucking up to anyone, even you)
Rumpole replies: You got it. We humbly note that before the blog, people would just get angry, pass a few dirty comments in the cafeteria and that was it. Most of the time the Judge was not even aware people were upset and continued doing whatever they were doing that was annoying people. This blog is not about anonymous attacks. At its best, it is a place to raise and discuss issues, and let Judges, Lawyers, and PD’s whose name we can rhyme, know when we think they are doing a good job, and when we think they are dropping the ball.
Thanks for the post, it made our day.
love the blog. thank you Rumpole for putting such a large amount of time for all of us
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS BORING!!!
ReplyDeleteHow 'bout this:
The MAIN EVENT!!!
In this corner, weighing in at 400 +/- attorneys, with a case load that would make a private practicioner cry due to starvation....paid well....managed by the DOJ....sharing a combined conviction rate of about 95%!!! THE AUSAs!!!
In that corner, weigning in at 70 attorneys below the required amount, each (except for the old people) carying a caseload that does make them cry....starving....for both convictions and pay....THE ASAs!!!
Who do you guys think are better?
Smarter, better writers, knowing the rules, not needing to "call legal" -- clearly the AUSAs.
ReplyDeleteQuicker on their feet -- perhaps the ASAs.
ZZZZZZZZZZ
ReplyDeleteZZZZZZZZZZ
ReplyDeleteAre you calling AUSAs geeks? And, ASA dumbasses?
ReplyDeleteASAs dumbasses?
ReplyDeletezzzzzzzzzzzz
ReplyDeleteFor whatever reason the sao stuff just isn't as fun to read and blog about as the pd stuff. More pd stuff, Rump. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAny comments about Juan F. Gonzales filing against Steve Leifman?
ReplyDeletewho is juan f. gonzalez? is it the guy who speaks like tattoo from fantacy island? if it, is i love that guy!
ReplyDeleteJuan Gonzalez that used to play for the Rangers? He's gonna be tough to beat.
ReplyDeleteThere's a Juan Gonzalez waiting to run against a Steve Leifman at all times in Miami-Dade County.
ReplyDeleteLeifman is a great judge. We need to step up and support this guy. Same with Murphy.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like anonymous, who says that Leifman is a great judge, doesn't appear often in front of him or his hearing officers.
ReplyDeleteJuan Gonzalez is not a nice (or good) federal prosecutor.
ReplyDeleteLeifmas WAS a good judge 4 or 5 years ago.
ReplyDeletei was infront of him about 5 years ago and that is infact what i am basing my opinion on. the man was solid back then!! if he has changed since then i am not aware of it. i thought he had administrative duties now. how bad can he be?
ReplyDeleteWhat Juan Gonzalez is it? The federal prosecutor, the former traffic hearing officer, or the defense lawyer with the hoarse voice?
ReplyDeleteThe federal prosecutor or the traffic hearing officer would be awful choices, but the defense lawyer would make a great judge.
