I will say that from my admittedly newbie view, the calendars in the Justice Building looked light. Not a lot of cases going to trial ala Rump's warning. <br /><br />The day stunk. Everyone is on a diet. No one wanted to go to lunch. Everyone is broke from the holidays (including moi), and I'm just glad it's over. <br /><br />Tomorrow is another day. <br /><br />BTW I was not offended by Baby Boomer Bert's comments about me.

It would work easily for criminal. EFile your motion, select a hearing date. An electronic notice would automatically be generated to all parties. It could even be created as an option on the Efile Portal. That way, defense attorneys don't have to wait on rely on JAs, and JAs can spend their time focusing on more serious matters in their divisions. <br /><br />The technology exists. There is a demand for it. Everybody wins.

Now that I am getting JAs on the phone, I am getting a lot of passive aggressive groans, underhanded complaints, exasperated sighs, and so on...just because I need to put such-and-such on calendar.<br /><br />I am trying to be pleasant. I am being patient and understanding. I get that this is the first day back and things are a bit hectic. But this attitude is not limited to the day after New Years. Some JAs always treat us like they are doing us a grand favor by putting a matter on calendar. Not all JAs - some are wonderful and nothing but helpful. But a good number are nasty on the phone, and that's uncalled for.<br /><br />So Rump - I call on you, to advise a solution to the constant kerfuffle between defense attorneys and their staff and the judicial assistants. Could we perhaps move to an online scheduling system for criminal so that JAs don't have to manually set our dates? I would love to hear a JAs perspective - what can we do to make your jobs easier? <br /><br />Any thoughts?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-56313505795163370692018-01-02T11:16:24.957-05:002018-01-02T11:16:24.957-05:00Worst day of the year R is right.
