BREAKING -- Rodney Smith confirmed
CONGRATS to our newest judge -- Rodney Smith. He was confirmed 78-18 to fill Robin Rosenbaum's slot.
Judge Rosenbaum was a very fine district judge. I have tried cases and argued countless motions before Judge Rodney Smith and he is a great trial judge with a good sense of humor. Let's hope he does not lose that when he joins the Feds. He has a great story and I wish him well although I hate losing a good plaintiff's judge. We have so few good judges at 73 West Flagler and we lose one of the few good ones.
He has big shoes to fill, Judge R was very special, I hope he is as well and wish him the best.

ReplyDeleteAnyone who calls himself (has to be a man) "trialmaster" cannot be taken seriously. "Captain Justice" either.
ReplyDeleteThat's what they said about me. Then I authored an award winning blog.
ReplyDeleteI like Judge Smith. He will be fine.

ReplyDeleteOr "Anonymous"
(yeah, I know)
Anonymous commentators are cowards. Put your name on what you write. That's what I always say.
ReplyDeleteRumpole's is stepping on your toes with a post on Judge Altman not allowing self surrender after sentencing.
ReplyDeleteThe trialmaster could very well be a female. Or even gender fluid. You never know.
ReplyDeleteOver under for # years roy stays before his next move?
