Ah yes, 'tis the season for criminal court judges with absolutely NO clue about civil law to migrate to 73 West Flagler so they can begin building their re-election war chests.
For some who are willing learners, and able to admit that they have something to learn, this is not an complete disaster. Others, who were arrogant and insensitive while dealing with the sacred liberty of human beings, can be expected to be just as arrogant and insensitive while dealing with mere money -- and now you can add utter ignorance to the mix.
There's no question that just about any criminal matter is more important than just about any civil matter -- no matter the amount at stake. But save me from judges whose entire legal perspective was their ten or eight or six years as a prosecutor; who know nothing of business or torts or civil fraud or contract law . . . let alone running a practice; who have not read the law since the day before they took the Bar exam; and who invariably treat civil litigants like criminal defendants.
All those judges rushing to go to the dilapidated, health hazard, crumbling civil courthouse? Either they know there will be a new building soon, are looking for some workers comp/PI settlement, or have already bumped their head!
All said in jest, but I do seriously hope that no one gets hurt in that building.
If Richard Gregg can't do it, than no one can!
All the best judges are at the Lawson Center! I wanna be a divorce lawyer!!!!
All the best judges went to Lawson because they didn't want to suffer the deplorable and dangerous conditions in the County Courthouse.
"Judge" Dava Tunis, who was serving on the bench per a forged federally-mandated judicial loyalty oath (per the official findings of the State Attorney and the County's Inspector General) was introduced at the Annual Bar Convention by the drinking Bar's President as "Tuna Davis." Something fishy here. Is her name Dava Tunis or Tuna Davis, and further how can she preside over any case involving the State of Florida since she received a gift in excess of the gift limits from the State, which she didn't report? Pretty simple questions really.
This blog recommends Roy Black's self-aggrandizing blog. So I went to it, only to find that it falsely was asserting, with a lead banner headline, that US News and World Report had named it "the best law firm..." when in fact it was named "one of the best."
Big difference. You would think a genius like Roy Black (just ask him) would know the importance of using words correctly.
Anyway, because I reported it to the proper folks, the correction was made, with no thanks to me from the busy Roy, no mea culpa, nothing but the change made in the dead of the night. You're welcome. Jack Thompson (punished by The Bar for telling the truth, in a state in which lawyers who lie are rewarded) Rumpole calls my telling as "antics" for which I was disbarred. Wrong. The federal government completely vindicated my "antics." No wonder Rumpole endorses Black's blog.
Any changes in county court?
At least Rodney had the good taste not to ask to move to civil where he could make all those rulings for which UAIC has already paid.
Keep 'em coming , Jack. (Thanks Horace)
Who will be taking over Cynamon's Division?
