79003	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	Judge Rice is in perpetual servitude to his calendar. Despite that, he is one of the slowest judges at Mosk. He takes a lot of time at CMCs asking what everyone needs, but if someone actually brings something up he just says "well...Read More	11/16/2019 02:11 AM	Contact reviewer
68214	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	Seriously ? I end up with a bad judge only to be replaced by an even worse judge. What is going on with these stupid judges who rule based on their own ideas and without any regard to the law as written by our legislature. This ju...Read More	04/23/2019 05:41 AM	Contact reviewer
51261	Other	No Rating	While watching proceedings for which I was not a litigant, I found Judge Rice's questions and decisions to be positive, discerning, and fair. I could about you and how nerve-racking it must be to stand in front of a judge to hea...Read More	08/24/2017 06:30 PM	Contact reviewer
46714	Litigant	No Rating	He would not make the prosecutor turn over the evidence for 6 months. There was no evidence. He took a case without merit falsely claiming a dog bite. It was a case used to steal property and have the dog protection removed fr...Read More	12/12/2016 08:25 PM	Contact reviewer

34622	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	Serious misunderstanding of the role of a separate statement of undisputed material facts. Made factual determinations and is pro-business. Really stuck it to my client	05/05/2015 02:55 PM	Contact reviewer
31586	Litigant	No Rating	Conservatorship proceeding Immediately injected his own personal experience regarding caring for an elderly parent. Rude, never looked up from his desk, asked a few bizarre questions.	12/10/2014 05:50 PM	Contact reviewer

30333	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	If you are a victim or minority, do not have your case heard by this judge. You could not do worse. File an "AFFIDAVIT OF PREJUDICE" with the clerk immediately and have the case transferred to another judge. PEREMPTORY CHALLENGE T...Read More	10/26/2014 12:19 PM	Contact reviewer
14086	Civil Litigation - Private	No Rating	Agree that his knowledge of civil procedure is seriously lacking. I was in his department for an ex parte recently and watched him go through his law and motion calendar. He made numerous bizarre procedural goofs and had to be cor...Read More	03/15/2012 10:20 PM	Contact reviewer
12021	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	I'm not sure this judge knows what he's doing? He controls his courtroom unlike any others I have seen. I agree with the other comment on this site stating that this judge is pro-business. This judge appears to be pro-anything but...Read More	10/06/2011 02:20 PM	Contact reviewer
10897	Other	No Rating	Unfortunately, he was primarily a judge overseeing the criminal docket, who has recently been transferred to civil case calendar. Thus, his understanding of civil procedure - not to mention his lack of knowledge in real estate law...Read More	06/05/2011 12:25 AM	Contact reviewer
