HOT DAY FOR EMAIL

WE received this comment:

Love your blog. keep it up. I cannt be IDed, I work for XXX.
Concerning your lit choices: Please don't blow up the building Howard, by the way the movie was great, I love Gary Cooper, the actor not the attrny.. I also love appearing infront of the Circus Court Judges in the Metro Injustice Bldg.

Liberty next to Last champion


Rumpole responds:

Unlike Mr. Roark, we did not design the Metro Justice Building, and our design has not been stolen and ruined, unlike what happened to Howard Roark. The Movie was very good, although Ms. Rand commented that she did not like it. But as we all know, she was very difficult to please. Even more difficult then certain Judges who have been mentioned in these pages.

Dear Reader: I took the liberty of substituting the initials you included with XXX. But I did not recognize them anyway. If you like, email me an explanation. Or Not.

See You In Court.

PS: To the weasel who opined that we cannot write: psbbtht.

You should, at the very least, proofread your posts. If you get rid of the spelling and grammar mistakes, you'd be a D writer instead of an F.

JUDGE SHELDON SCHWARTZ MAY DRESS LESS THAN CONSERVATIVE,WITH COLORFUL TIES,ETC.BUT HE IS A GOOD JUDGE.HE EXPECTS HIGH STANDARDS,WITH ATTORNEYS APPEARING IN COURT,NOT FILING MOTIONS TO WITHDRAW ETC.AND NOT HAVING THEM HEARD AND NOT APPEARING ETC.WE MUST REALIZE,THE PRACTICE OF LAW IS PROFESSION AND CANNOT BE LOOKED UPON AS A BUSINESS ENTITY ALTHOUGH LAWYERS SHOULD MAKE A LIVING.JUDGE SCHWARTZ IS DEMANDING AND CALLS ATTORNEYS WHEN THEY FAIL TO APPEAR IN COURT.IN HIS COURT YOU DO NOT PLAY GAMES AND HE IS GOOD AT RUNNING HIS DOCKET,AND OH YES IN HAVING PEOPLE GET DRIVERS LICENSES QUICKLY(ONE WEEK VS.MONTH TILL NEVER).HE HOLD BOTH DEFENSE AND STATE TO THEIR RESPONSIBILITY WHILE MEETING OUT JUSTICE.ASK ATTORNEYS WHO HAVE APPEARED BEFORE HIM OR EVEN THE PUBLIC WHO APPEAR BEFORE HIMTHAT IS THE TRUE CRITERIA.I AM ONE WHO HAS APPEARED BEFORE HIM MANY TIMES.MG

Nice try judge. Your rude obnoxious and dare I age myself;were not a very good defense attorney. Judge Schwartz is not a credit to the bench and needs to go the way of a certain female judge who was run out of town.

P.S.

Have a nice day.

Judge Sheldon Schwartz is one of the finest judges in Dade County. He makes his own decisions without the help of slom & Leifman. He knows the law and most important knows how to practice it. His decisions are fair and honest. I plan to vote for him and strongly support him. SCOTT

In my humble opinion.. Judge Sheldon Shwartz is a rude, arrogant guy who LOVES the sound of his own voice FAR too much. He is long over due to be an "ex" judge. I will support his opponent..

How about a different judge for a change.. btw I don't like Shelly Schwartz either and don't know many who do..
BUT I got a call this week from Judge Karen Mills-Francis.. apparently she has "opposition" and is calling everyone she knows.. I am only an aquaintance of the judge and I like her.. I know she has friends in the courthouse I think Karen Mills Francis is a fine decent judge.. BUT.. for a VERY long time she was totally indifferent to the time frames that attorneys need to work under..
She was HABITUALLY late and didn't seem to care at ALL about the inconvenience that wrought upon her collegues, attorneys or defendants.. THEN when election time came.. she seemed to be "on time" ALL the time.. Sorry.. too little too late.. You can't disrespect us for months and then think we'll forget about it because it's election time.. Look.. some of the BEST judges were and are consistenly LATE.. it shows disrespect for the defendants, their attorneys as well as the State attorney.. It's NOT okay.. and it never WAS...
Will I vote for KMF.. maybe.. but I need some assurances that her current court schedule will also be her FUTURE court schedule.. Otherwise.. I'm voting for the potential judge that respects me enough to be ON TIME! I LOVE Judge Pando.. but I knew she wouldn't last long at MJB..she was consistently disrespectful of everyone by being late EVERY DAY... No one likes it.. NO one.. not even liberal defense attorneys.. like having their schedules totally messed up by a judge who can't get out of bed on time.. or has other more important things to do then his/her job.. KMF.. let us know in NO uncertain terms you will
BE ON TIME and I will support you and encourage others to do so as well.

Karen Mills Frances is more than qualified for reelection. I know her from when she was a struggling student who made every sacrifice to become the person she is today. That fortitude and determination alone set her apart from others. She deserves consideration and respect for her accomplishments in the face of diversity. She knows both sides now and is well prepared to honor the rule of law.
