He is a jackass that should have never been given the power he has. He has recked many lives and changed the outcome of good people and children. He should receive the harshest punishment a human can receive.

Fair, concise, efficient. He takes the law seriously, knows the law, knows procedure, and expects the same of those before him.

Probably the worst judge in Virginia.

The legislature must consider removing Judge Farris from the bench. Although, as far as I understand, he has outlived reappointment; his judicial temperament offends lawyers (on both sides of a case) and litigants alike. I, along with opposing counsel in multiple cases, have made attempts to avoid our cases landing on Judge Farris's docket for fear he will fail to comprehend the matter before him and knowing he will (rudely) disallow counsel from present their respective positions.
