INDIANA LAW JOURNAL Volume 35 SPRING 1960 Number 3 THE QUALITY OF JUDGESt ROBERT A. LEFLARtt To talk about "the quality of judges" implies there are some judges whose quality is good and others who are not so good. Of course there is more than one standard for determining whether a judge is "good." A standard sometimes applied makes quality depend on whether the judge decides for or against the one who is doing the talking about the judge, but that is a standard seldom used, at least by lawyers who have a fair amount of practice. More common among lawyers is a standard under which every judge, during the whole period that he remains on the bench, is a good judge.

  • 2014/2015 Executive Summary
    2014 JUDICIAL 2015 HELLHOLES ® JUDICIAL HELLHOLES 2014–2015 “ The trial lawyers are the single most powerful political force in Albany. That’s the short answer. It’s also the long answer.” — New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, explaining why efforts to enact a much needed tort reform again ended in failure (April 23, 2014) “ It is difficult to conceive how allowing the plaintiff to present to the jury fictitious evidence of amounts paid for medical services, while preventing the tortfeasor from challenging that evidence, serves the interests of justice. ...” — West Virginia Justice Allen H. Loughry II, dissenting in Kenney v. Liston (W. Va. 2014), which allowed juries to consider only the billed price of medical services and found inadmissible the lower amount actually paid and accepted for such services. “ This case is a typical example of a frivolous class-action lawsuit.” —West Virginia Justice Menis Ketchum II, dissenting in Tabata v. Charleston Area Medical Center (W. Va. 2014), where the majority ruled that a data privacy class action should be certified even though no one had accessed the health records at issue. “ Justice Lewis’ plurality opinion reweighs the evidence and disbelieves the Governor’s Task Force as well as the legislative testimony, claiming that its own independent review has revealed that the other two branches were incorrect….” — Florida Chief Justice Ricky Polston, joined by Justice Charles Canady, dissenting in McCall v. United States (Fla. 2014), in which the court invalidated a limit on noneconomic damages in medical malpractice cases as lacking a rational basis. “ Left intact, our holdings funnel BP’s cash into the pockets of undeserving non-victims.
