Rating:10.0
Comments:
Judge Emas was perhaps the most or very close to the most respected criminal court judge before, before being transferred to civil. In civil court he was also held in high esteem for academics and his respectful treatment of lawyers and compassion for victims and defendants. Always willing to listed to families of the victims or defendants who would appear before him. He will be difficult to replace in the circuit court as a trial judge as he now begins his career as he joins the court of appleals third district.

He ruled against me, but I have to say that this is one of the smartest guys I've ever met. I'm not always as "quick" as everyone else in the courtroom, but this Judge was extremely quick, and to assess situations.
Was his ruling incorrect, in my opinion? Yes, but I could see his point.

Judge McDreamy. This judge has it all: temperament, smarts, looks, demeanor, charisma, the whole nine yards. If he wasn't a judge, he would be a senator.
