Polk looked up information outside the record presented to him and incorporated it in his ruling. This is a violation of judicial ethics.

Judge Polk is a very good judge in my opinion. He really listens in the courtroom to both sides. He is very restful to all parties. It is obvious he comes prepared and thoroughly reads the documents presented. Thank you Judge Polk for being one of the better judges.

He listens to the facts. He is conservative so the process is slow but the outcome is based on the facts. If you do not follow his rulings then you will lose.
