Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: 24173
Rating:1.4
Comments:
Judge Newman has either a poor grasp of complex cases or, in the alternative, a desire to simply avoid complex cases. He writes opinions that are internally inconsistent and clearly against the weight of legal authority. Newman is a prime example of a judge that legislates from the bench.

He is more concerned about how he appears in public than doing his job. It is like he has his own PR firm. All show and no substance. Very shallow. Would be good for a Vegas show.
