I like Judge Miley. I think she's a fair judge. She's good about carefully reviewing materials. I think it's sad there are people who, for whatever unknown reasons, want to attack her personally.

How about we rate our fellow judges and attorneys for things they can control, like their temperament and/or skill set, rather than things that are for the most part, beyond their control, like their physical attributes.

All these comments about who's hot and who's not are really unbecoming of our profession, and sadly, demonstrate the commenter's own insecurity, immaturity, pettiness and general unhappiness.

This is a sad day for the blog.

Do you have the compulsion/guts to make fun of people's looks in person/to their face? Than why do you do it anonymously on the computer?

I vote that if you want to call out someone's looks, that's fine, but don't be a coward. Sign your name so we all get to see what you are working with and can judge you too.

How about biggest douche commenter?

Here are my nominations, in no particular order:

1. The person with the "Eric Johnson a/k/a Barney Rubble" fetish
2. Probably the same person with the "Baby Johnson" fixation
3. The person with the "Ma Border" obsession
4. The "Who is Doug Ansell" conspiracy theorist freak
5. Voldemort
6. The dickwad who keeps asking for the "hottest lawyer thread"

Why is Togliatti never mentioned? She has a certain crazy streak I like about her (which I also think makes her an above-average judge).

Speaking of Family Court, why is 12:20 picking on Henderson?
I've known him for years, and yes he's put on weight and lost his hair, but I was not aware that there was anything unusual about that when men age.

I agree with 4;33 that, although it might not strike some as being as entertaining, that instead of discussing what judges look like, that we spend at least an equal amount of time discussing their performance, what is or isn't effective when presenting in their court, etc.

That would actually benefit some readers.

I haven't been in front of many of the judges, but I took a quick look through the headshots posted on the court website, and I would say — based purely on the one photo — that Escobar would be my top choice.

That being said, I've heard from a lot of people that she is not a "top choice" as a judge.

ATTENTION:

1. If you are a judge, then you are also an attorney.
2. If you are an attorney, skip to 4.
3. If you are not an attorney but you are reading this anyway, proceed to 4.
4. You are not hot.
