| 36063 | Litigant | View Details | The judge leaked my SSN after it was redacted and sealed already... Moved to trial in 5 days. That's 3 business days. Then blamed me for "not having evidence". Judge seems to think that trial fixes everything. Discovery is none...Read More | 04/25/2026 03:02 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 35977 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | He seems to think trial is required for every case that lands on his desk. No nonsense when it comes to everyone else but likes to ramble himself. Interrupts people constantly & will yell at people. | 11/18/2025 01:25 AM | |
| 35779 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | It is impossible to describe all the subtleties and details here, but I will briefly describe my experience with this judge and his judging. I represented myself in court for almost a year and hoped for his justice, but over time ...Read More | 03/06/2025 12:52 AM | |
| 33487 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Definite bias toward corporate interests. Does not closely read papers and when he does he has an outcome-determinative mindset, meaning he reads everything with a particular outcome in mind. He ignores any facts that don't compo...Read More | 10/16/2020 09:25 PM | |
| 13389 | Litigant | No Rating | Absolute Bias, reads pro se complaints but disregards facts. Enters rulings devoid of factual content. A bully and a coward, no less threatened sanctions upon attempt to appeal. Those who think they are above the, fear the law....Read More | 01/19/2012 08:45 PM | |
| 10228 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Often wrong but seldom in doubt. Judge Young thinks enormously highly of himself but is no judicial heavyweight. He is often rash and hasty, and seems to have a proclivity towards corporate interests. He also favors parties rep...Read More | 05/26/2010 01:07 PM | |
| 9151 | Litigant | No Rating | Judge Young does not play fair with pro se litigants. He allows Defendants to violate Rule 26 by loosing evidence and he does not compel them to turn over discovery. | 09/01/2009 03:44 PM | |
| 6452 | Probation or Pretrial Officer | View Details | Recently had two cases (Stewart and Soto -- No. 07-1245) reversed by First Circuit. Judge Young refused to force defendants to submit DNA samples based on privacy concerns. The court then discounted each of these interests, conc...Read More | 07/07/2008 02:34 PM | |
| 5706 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Very smart, but that page-limit thing has got to go. Doesn't enjoy complicated cases. | 02/10/2008 11:17 AM | |
| 4671 | Litigant | No Rating | Judge Young allows his clerk to run his civil docket. He should be well aware that his clerk works under the table transcribing cases for certain attorneys who practice in Young's court. Very bright but very short tempered | 08/29/2007 12:30 PM | |
| 4120 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Very bright. No nonsense. But can be very mean. And sometimes gets a little frustrated with complex cases. | 05/18/2007 09:49 PM |
