Rating:7.0
Comments:
Handled a workplace violence TRO in front of him. He likes to be pushed to a decision. Thought he was fair and had a good handle on the law and procedure, which can be hit or miss with these types of hearings.

Is frequently seen wandering around the Courthouse with no apparent place to be. Believed to have finally lost all mental capability to make independent decisions and no one knows how to get rid of him.
