nm posted:When I was a PD we .6ed judges fairly often. They didn't take it that personally unless we blanked challenged them, which only happened twice. (One the DA's office joined us due to the judge being a creepy harrasser.) Yeah, I've had other judges say that in the past. However, this one does take it personally according to multiple other attorneys (one got dragged into chambers due to it). Thankfully I likely won't be in front of them again in the future, they were filling in.

I just heard an ad on the radio for the most noxious, incredible firm I'd never heard of; Cordell & Cordell, a specialized men only divorce firm. The whole thing was presenting itself as "divorce tips" that were dancing on the edge of advice. Their slogan was "a partner men can count on", and it was every bit as atrocious and sexist as you can imagine - a whole string of "here are the things you need to do to protect yourself from that lying bitch and her shitbag attorney" comment,s barely phrased more politely. And now I found out they have TV ads, too.

I have cases against Cordell attorneys on a semi regular basis and they are as awful as the ads sound. The tone is very much on purpose. And yeah, as BigHead said California has a peremptory challenge to an assigned judge once per case. I had to burn mine because the judge is absolute dogshit but if looks could kill I'd be dead.

I don't know how one would make it work, particularly if you wanted to avoid the "make the new judge hate you with white-hot passion" catch-22. Sometimes with difficulty. If a party in, say, Barrow perempts the only judge for three hundred miles, then the case gets assigned to a different judge but the case stays in Barrow. So it pisses everyone under the sun off. A central hub judge (anchorage or fairbanks) will hear the case, appearing telephonically in Barrow, until trial. At trial they usually dig up a retired judge who will volunteer to go out there. We have a pretty robust system of retired judges. I know a guy who did some stupid vehicle theft trial with the just-retired Chief Justice. That was great. If it's an anchorage case (or other hub) then the judges are used to passing cases around like hot potatoes. Nobody bats an eye. The clerks just send out a new date in front of a new judge and there you go. If a judge is getting blanket preempted by the PDs or DA, then nobody says anything for a while, until the presiding judge calls the local agency head and tells him to knock it off. Or the offending judge gets transfered to a full civil docket. BigHead fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Mar 21, 2019 |

Ding ding ding, it's creepy as all hell given the case context especially. All the most prominently listed ones are about female attorneys. The reviews talking about how nice/pleasant the female Cordell attorneys are (inevitably referring to them by first name) were absolutely  . Of course, they feature male attorneys/voiceovers in their advertising materials.

Barr’s letter is a toilet poo poo paper solely drafted to (a) minimally comply with federal regs and (b) cover his boss’s ample chewed bubble gum looking rear end.
