New Building



STOP THE PRESSES! There have been court proceedings in the new building. Some of the judges have moved in, others are moving this week, and the most junior judges.... well.... it's still going to be a while. But progress is progress. Here's a picture of the inside.



So, who's going to have the first trial?

And a reminder: Judge Gold will be speaking this Wednesday at the Federal Bar Association luncheon at the Banker's Club at noon. RSVP to Lourdes_Fernandez@flsd.uscourts.gov

A camera in the federal courthouse? Heresy, I tell you. No way that photo should have been taken or distributed to the public, who now know too much about the inside of the palace. Start an investigation ...

Hmmmm . . . look straight up from the bottom of the smoke stack. Does the symbol make you wonder whether this building might be a National Treasure?

hmmm David. Camera in the federal courthouse. Classic Blogger mistake. Homeland security is undoubtably conduting an investigation right now. To say nothing of the ire of Federico Moreno: "Meeester Markus. They say you brought a camera into my courthouse. What say you?"

Better lawyer up right away.

Rumpole,

Totally inappropriate and offensive parody of Moreno.

David,
You may not have taken it, but, nevetheless, you may know the source of the photo. Expect a GJ subpoena and Kastigar letter soon.

That's the benefit of being anonymous.

For the record, and I have said this on my blog numerous times, I have found Judge Moreno to be one of the brightest Judges I have ever appeared before (despite his unwaivering support for Notre Dame Football.) He also has the rare ability to combine common sense and "street smarts" with his legal knowledge to achieve a just result. He ranks right up there with Judge Jose Gonzalez as the very best Judge I have ever tried a case before. I meant no offense.

He also has a very good sense of humor. (I hope).
