Just flip a coin, draw straws, or roll dice to resolve your dispute. An inanimate object mixed with randomness will give you about the same quality of analysis.

She is arbitrary and capricious, at best. I find her to be another example of power intoxication. You'll be lucky if she treats you as a human being, capable of having frustration with any court proceeding, as most defendants and litigants do. Her unpredictable temperament make her an unfit judge and not worthy of reelection.

The outcomes of discussions or cases often hinge on her mood on a particular day. She will waste time of attorneys and clients, who often wait hours to have a case heard, if she does not like someone's tone or if she seems to be having a bad day. One of a few Suffolk judges who feel entitled to be arbitrary in behavior simply because oversight is scarce. The attitude bleeds over to her clerk, who is one of the least efficient or pleasant...
