Hon. James S. Hill (Burleigh) Terrible judge. At least in civil litigation. Appears biased almost from the get go. Arrogant would be the word I would use to describe him. He got major facts wrong in his rulings and appears to pick winners and losers based on his feelings, and not the facts. If anyone gets this judge assigned to their case I would consider bumping him from your case. Criminal Defense Lawyer - (2/27/2024 8:09:52 AM)

Hon. James S. Hill (Burleigh) I rate this judge a 2. His temperament in court is arrogant, condescending, and rude. My lawyer told me going in, that he’s an “asshole” judge so I kinda knew what I was getting into. His rulings are dripping with rudeness and unprofessionalism. He got multiple “facts” wrong in his rulings. Since my case was decided, I’ve heard from many people having the same issues with this man. I hope more people and lawyers find this site to shine lights on bad judges in ND. Thanks Litigant - (2/27/2024 7:48:53 AM)

Hon. Bruce A. Romanick (Burleigh) Fails his Oath of Office and peoples Civil rights. Should be reprimanded. Criminal Defense Lawyer - (2/22/2022 12:02:47 PM)

Hon. Bruce A. Romanick (Burleigh) I apologize. I cannot seem to correct the number of my prior comment on this judge.. his overall performance rating is 1. Litigant - (2/22/2022 12:00:31 PM)

Hon. Bruce A. Romanick (Burleigh) Awful. Fails to follow the law. Follows what he wants to as he wants to, as his mood strikes. Shows his irritation and aggression towards women. Feels moms are lying instead of the fact that a man can/ is abusive. No regard for his Oath of Office or for the civil rights of others. Litigant - (2/22/2022 11:58:49 AM)

Hon. Jay Schmitz (Barnes) This judge treats a guardianship hearing as if it was a criminal case and bases his decision on whats best for the court and personal gain Other - (1/26/2019 8:57:48 AM)
