I regret not 170.6-ing her when I had the chance. Please, someone give her three highly experienced law clerks, a court staff that isn't grossly incompetent and wildly unprofessional, and a clean courtroom. Discovery? Don't bo...Read More07/08/2024 01:44 AMContact reviewer

170.6! Intellectually dishonest, demonstrably biased, sneaky, and untrustworthy. Disregarded the jury's verdict, which included punitive damages (12-0). Prior to that, she played every game in the book to undermine the case. Av...Read More03/01/2023 08:07 AMContact reviewer

Should not be on the civil bench. Does not know the Rules of Court. Easily offended if you say the slightest thing she doesn't agree with. Never on time. Onerous FSC rules with no flexibility. Is on my permanent 170.6 list.10/09/2019 03:34 PMContact reviewer

No idea how she gets bad reviews. We recently litigated a series of complex Demurrers and she issued lengthy tentative rulings and engaged in thoughtful discussion at oral argument. Very industrious and balanced judge. You coul...Read More09/11/2019 04:04 PMContact reviewer

Judge Lu is now sitting in unlimited civil in Dept. 26 at Stanley Mosk. It's immediately apparent upon observing her courtroom that she has zero civil experience or understanding of civil practice. It's concerning. She's far outsi...Read More05/28/2019 01:58 PMContact reviewer

This judge reads everything! Many do not. More than often they do not. Her tentatives are elaborate. Again, I've seen lots of judges tentatives say "denied". Nothing else. Done quite a bit of L&M with her and don't agree on ...Read More12/13/2017 07:46 PMContact reviewer

In her haste to lighten what is admittedly a heavy case load, Judge Lu denies almost every ex parte request to advance a hearing date that is closer than the current FIVE MONTH BACKLOG on the CRS. I have seen her reject more than...Read More12/19/2016 03:39 AMContact reviewer
