Steve Jewett is the best judge in Orange County. Well, maybe in a tie with Mike Murphy and Martha Adams and a few others, but still--he's the best. Look, this judge was defending death penalty cases for over a decade before becoming a county court judge. So, he knows more about the law than anyone else in the courtroom, and even so, he doesn't throw it in your face. Super fair judge. You'd have to be a real idiot to figure out a way to upset Jewett (you know who you are). Again, this judge is, hands down, the best we have in Orange County. The best.
