Litigant

Rating:Not Rated
Comments:
Does not get involve with the case. Lets her clerk write her opinions and is more interested of getting rid of case and clearing her docket, instead of doing justice. A typical federal judge-to stupid to make a living in private practice so she joins the state Democratic club and gets a judgeship. Corruption is rampert.

I thought she was very fair and respectful to both sides in a recent trial. Treated both lawyers with respect and was easy to communicate with. Zero condescension which was refreshing.

I read several of the comments and was, quite frankly, shocked. Judge Bryant was a consummate professional and it was, indeed, a pleasure to try my case before her.

Judge adopted defense brief as her decision. Even left the metadata: "[Insert footnote that explains entities – use same language in 7.1 disclosure]" was written by clerk either for herself or the judge. Who knows? Does not belong on any bench.

I have been practicing for 30 years in various federal courts. Judge Bryant is absolutely the worst federal judge I have encountered. The second worst was Judge Kent who was impeached and was sent to federal prison.
