Puhleeeze! A good judge? Gimme a break. She's a one trick-pony. A former Master seemingly perpetually trapped in that mode. A glorified school principal sadly miscast as a jurist. Could you imagine her handling a complex civil litigation? Good, I didn't think so. She would make a good pastor, handling mediation between feuding family members. But a good judge? I don't think so.

She is a mediocre judge who covers up her short-comings by being nice. Other than that, she is more a favorite aunt than judge.

I especially admire her kind treatment of litigants. She is never condescending or rude and takes the time to explain the law and flesh out her rulings to attorneys and pro se litigants alike. Her judicial temperament is admirable.

I litigated many domestic relations cases before Judge Weatherly. She is always respectful to all litigants and very evenhanded with her decisions. She is very knowledgeable in domestic cases. She deserves a spot on the bench.
