He’s definitely not being mistaken for a Boy Scout. He talks back to judges, interrupts opposing counsel and is generally unpleasant. If someone of his character is behind this, it just shows you that Judge Zilber is getting railroaded. I had many cases before him when he was in civil. He was always prepared and ruled quickly. I think some of you who haven’t practiced with the typical slowness that a civil division judge exhibits may be having a hard time understanding why we need more judges like Zilber.

I will tell you that he moves cases. You get hearings and he rules. He is certainly knowledgeable and is number 4 in terms of all judges in moving cases. I've had judges take months to just get a hearing and then several months for a ruling. As a trial lawyer, I want judges to move cases, rule and be prepared. He is all of those. I'll take that all day. Seeing that Bruce jacobs is behind this makes this whole thing suspicious. He is an lunatic who has been sanctioned by the third district court of appeals numerous times and send to the Florida bar but he seems to be Teflon. I bet you jacobs next move is a case against zilber and the circuit for wrongful termination. The fact Zilber has ruled against Jacobs and jacobs openly stated he did this because zilber ruled against his clients is truly remarkable.

Judge Zilber is one of the few judges who has actually adjusted well to working remotely. Does it really matter where he's doing the work from? As long as the work is getting done.... And from both my personal experience and the JQC's findings, it's clear that he gets the work done.

Okay so he posts too much on his social media and missed a few days of work.

I was part of a committee that held a judicial reception for federal judges Smith, Ruiz, and Altman. RSVP's were due the day before the event and everyone who met the deadline received a printed name tag. If you were a judge, the tag ID'd you as such. Zilber did not RSVP but appeared at the reception. He was upset because he did not receive a printed name tag identifying him as a judge and berated the volunteer staff who were issuing the tags. This told me all I needed to know about Zilber as a person. I believe the legal term for someone like him is "douchebag."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-37040092437908805762021-04-11T03:19:15.562-04:002021-04-11T03:19:15.562-04:00From the report, it seems this "rent-seeking&...From the report, it seems this "rent-seeking" judge is more suited to working as a glad-handed greeter at a casino, rather sitting as a Circuit Court judge, the highest trial court in Florida. A judge is a pillar of our justice system and the public expects highest and irreproachable conduct from anyone performing a judicial function. Judges must endeavor for the utmost standards of integrity in both their professional and personal lives. They should be knowledgeable about the law, willing to undertake in-depth legal research, and be able to write decisions that are clear, logical and cogent. Their personal and professional judgement should be sound and they should make informed choices and decisions that will stand up to close scrutiny. Judges should be fair and open-minded and devoid of of political favoritism and self-aggrandizing. <br /><br />"Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" is a Latin phrase found in the work of the Roman poet Juvenal. It is literally translated as "Who will guard the guards themselves?" Why of course, here, other judges will. And thus, this judge will get a minor public slap on the wrist, then he will publicly give the requisite appearance being contrite, claim that he has ‘learned his lesson’ and we will move on. They look after each other.

If we continue down this path, in my view, we undermine trust and confidence in the judicial system." <br /><br />"I continue to believe as I voiced in Kinsey:<br /><br />In my view, the imposition of this fine, the amount of which is clearly designed and intended to represent the enormity of the reprehensible behavior, sends the message to future candidates that they may violate the Code and commit ethical breaches, if they are prepared to pay a monetary fine following the election... I conclude that if the actions are so reprehensible that the majority believes the imposition of a $ 50,000 fine is justified, those actions must certainly justify removal from the office so tainted.

Pictures of him in New York City, Beverly Hills, Europe, etc while everyone else was working. This pissed off people by showing off. <br /><br />Also having a FACEBOOK page entitled “JUDGE MARTIN ZILBER”. Why not Martin Zilber without the narcissistic “Judge” part added. <br /><br />Further - were the “Zilber Selfies” on FACEBOOK with him at the center of every picture in his robes with every other Judge. A bit silly and certainly NOT judicial. <br /><br />A lovely guy. Very “Postmanesque!” Probably a good friend. Possibly a good Judge. But leave the popularity seeking antics to other professions snd be academic, neutral, low profile and smart. <br /><br />Being a Judge is not being a circus clown. I predict a contrite and strong return for Judge Zilber. A kind and good man. A loving family man. Everyone gets to make one mistake and to learn from it. <br /><br />Hold your head up high Judge. Get back in the courtroom and do justice for others.
