* Previous editions of this blog post incorrectly identified the candidate as David Perkins. His correct name is Joseph David Perkins, which will ensure he is not confused with long-time REGJB Irregular David Peckins.
One fucking expensive season. I'm getting killed over here.
ReplyDeleteElections for judicial races are an outrage. These judges are almost all broke and afraid so what better way to get a favorable ruling then to raise a Judge ten grand. For such a staunchly conservative group who regulate the Florida bar, they allow a free for all in this space.
ReplyDeleteThat is $500 from all of you to each. Good luck trying to make any money at law next year. Not too late to apply to Stanford MBA program.
ReplyDeleteGet out of that asbestos filled sick building, with all of the stress, back stabbing ... and maybe one or two real friends — and move out of that hell hole. Colorado? Albuquerque?
Do it before you get too old to enjoy.
Remember — practicing law is debilitating on your health. The stress you have on your body is worse than smoking 3 packs a day.
It is YOUR choice to be happy and live the life you want to live.
At least book a week at the POST RANCH INN in Big Sur or at AUNERGE DU SOLEIL in the Napa Valley. “Get the Couples massage, Valley view suite and eat at Michelin starred restaurants once in your lives.”

So sad that Judge Korvick is retiring. She was always so kind, so sweet, great patience, fun in court, soft spoken and always was prepared to rule based upon her vast knowledge of the law.
ReplyDeleteChill she’s termed out.

ReplyDelete2:50 PM. I detect a hint of sarcasm in your comment. No?
Lawyers ought not attend fund-raisers or make contributions to judges who do not draw opposition. The parading of judge candidates at fund-raising cocktail parties is unattractive. Only if an incumbent is challenged, should the money machine turn on.
ReplyDeleteyou are a fail
DeleteThe group 79 candidate is Joseph David Perkins, not David Perkins.
ReplyDeleteRumor is that Mike Catalano is running against Renee Gordon.
ReplyDeleteWhy he needs to try elsewhere
ReplyDeleteOK, so a little birdie told me that Rothenberg is going to retire from the 3D and that the fix is in to put Hanzman on the 3D. Heaven help us if Hanzman gets on the 3D. Same birdie says that whoever runs against Hanzman for his circuit seat will be a friend of his who gets to coast in. Think anyone will go up against Hanzman's deep pockets?
