He fell asleep during several hearings...removed his robe and talked about golf and then said " oh , I forgot...no on this ...." he sat and clipped his nails and asked for attorneys to repeat themselves...took a lunch break , only to fall asleep and awake an hour late... Totally unprofessional.

Has no interest in what the law actually is. Does whatever is necessary to get a case off his docket. Sucks up shamelessly to attorneys with low registration numbers.

I agree that Judge Russell is rather lazy and that he doesn't really care for younger attorneys. He is not particularly astute and he does not handle complex litigation well. But he is well-tempered for the most part and will listen. He is also somewhat flexible if you have something that's out of whack.

Worst example of a quota-hire I've ever seen. Deplorably lazy.
