CPK party is this week. The NJA convention was this past weekend. I'm sure there's some good gossip from that event.

Saturday morning is going to be one hell of a hangover for the folks who started drinking on October 4 at the NJA convention, saw Monday was a holiday and figured they might as well keep going through the CPK party.

On Twitter a bunch of people are boozing it up for the newest justice because of his love of beer so I guess talking CPK makes sense.

I think Judge Miller should wear a bigger pin on his lapel …

The entries on the blog this week remind me of an important life lesson: Life is extremely short, with truly so little free time to spend with loved ones. Therefore, it is absolutely critical that we spend a lot of that extremely limited spare time time arguing anonymously with complete strangers about whether a judge is truly as bad as the other blogger thinks he/she is.

And, for what it's worth, the couple judges I singled out, truly are that bad. So there.I may lack maturity, but I compensate with other attributes, although I simply can't think of what they are at this time.

To 4:35–You must be referring to the blogs of last week. That said, it's good to have a forum for discussing the judges, and we should not be dissuaded to do so despite your sarcasm.

That said, I am not one of those who evaluates based on whether I won an isolated motion. I try to have some sort of exposure level–like at least 6 or 8 hearings before that judge. I think once we have appeared before a judge several times on significantly contested matters, that is sufficient track record to form some meaningful views of the positives or negatives of such judge.

4:35 — Let's not forget the other equally important pass time besides arguing with strangers on the internet: posting pictures of your cat.
