Hon. Loretta A. Preska (S.D.N.Y.)
She has no respect for judicial ethics, and abuses her power to attack and litigants and counsel when she is held accountable. The judiciary would be far better without this judge.

Hon. Dale A. Drozd (E.D.Cal.)
Beware any judicial officer who boasts of his sense of humor. It usually means he does not have a sense of humor. Judge Drozd is petulant and arbitrary, and (in my experience) unable to grasp complexity. He is also given to public statements regarding counsel and firms that all judges should avoid, but he appears completely oblivious to social and professional cues. I was present at the Eastern District conference the year he was elevated from magistrate to district judge. He threw a bit of a tantrum onstage for having been considered "new" when he had been a magistrate for so long. I don't mind confident judges when brilliance, mindfulness and purpose follow the confidence. But without those, it isn't "confidence" -- it's boorish and a sign of the bad legal scholarship to follow. A sub-mediocre legal mind.

Hon. Jose E. Martinez (S.D.Fla.)
TYPICAL LEFT WING DEMOCRAT. ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT THE JACKASS IS THE APPROPRIATE SYMBOL FOR THE DEMOCRAT PARTY. IF YOU GET HIM, SEEK RECUSAL IMMEDIATELY. YOU WON'T GET IT BUT IT WILL BE ON THE RECORD. HAS NO INTENTION OF GETTING INVOLVED WITH THE PARTIES REPRESENTIVE EXCEPT TO ADVISE THE DEFENDANT'S ATTORNEYS TO MAKE MOTIONS TO DRIVE UP THEIR FEE, AND TO BURDEN PLAINTIFF WITH UNECESSORY PAPER WORK. DOES NOT RESPECT THE MERITS OF THE CASE.

Hon. Shaniek M. Maynard (S.D.Fla.)
Biased. Woke democrat. Extreme left wing. Bias against plaintiffs. Does every thing defendants wants, even though it violates civil statutes. Ignores the fact that public information is just that-extremely ignorant. Move to recuse it if it is assigned to your case exparte. This warning is to be taken seriously.

Hon. Patti B. Saris (D.Mass.)
I have been in front of numerous judges who ignored facts to arrive at their ruling, Judge Saris was the first one I have appeared in front of that made facts up. Avoid at all costs if you represent a Plaintiff.

Hon. Ralph R. Beistline (D.Alaska)
This man is delusional.When he's bias & has a vendetta out for someone,it clearly slow it would be impossible to deny. When you have defendants with same exact charges only one also a convicted murder out on parole. Other one is not a murderer, FOR any judge to sentence the defendant that has never murdered anyone, to life sentences & the murderer defendant to years not life, That judge proved to be bias & proved he had a vendetta out for other defendant. That defendant did not & does not deserve life sentences that is unheard of. Prison has been known to reform many. That defendant deserved a chance he never had since he was 3 yrs old. After serving this many years in dangerous federal prisons, being stabbed many times This man has turned his life around, been drug free over 12 yrs Its time he's given a chance.Grant him with his appeal, let him go from prison, if you choose he'll never step foot in Alaska again, that place was no good for him to begin. Give this man the chance he deserves with the wife & in laws he deserves. A Christian wife no record whatsoever. Let him follow now he has the right Christian leader Judge Beistline you gave a heartless sentences what if this had been your daughter,that also had kept wrong company as we all know. This man was raised without parents. Out on the streets on his own at 8 yrs old he's never had guidance never had any good influence in his life he did not choose that life that life chose him NOW judge. I was also raised morman I know you have good down in that heart of yours I'm begging you to find it grant this man his appeal & bless him with a chance to finally have a new life with a Christian wife PLEASE I'm begging you. We're not stopping when it comes to fighting to bring him home. Financially Set & ready .your sentences were ungodly totally uncalled for. We'll bring it all out in a court room.I noticed someone else commenting the same That u are bias & u have vendettas & you've used them to your advantage shame on you.

Lots of whiners on here, and Judge Rakoff can be a screamer and inflexible, but he's a great guy and a thoughtful judge. I'll say this: if you don't want to get abused by him, maybe be a better lawyer?

This judge [Redacted by Ed.] and the Board of Supervisors and denies citizens access to their 7th amendment rights. He is a disgrace to his position and a danger to the nation

Hon. Jed S. Rakoff (S.D.N.Y.)
After reviewing vast majority of comments regarding interactions with this Judge, seems the consensus is spot on...HE IS NOT AS INTELLIGENT AS HE CLAIMS TO BE. Rakoff has been outsmarted and out-litigated by a pro se litigant who discovered he screwed up in robo-signing off on a plea agreement, that included unconstitutional conditions violating the constitutional rights of the litigant and refused to correct his own judicial error. [redacted by Ed.]. He should be removed or just retire...effectively immediately or put in jail.?
