116923	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	Horrible. She has absolutely no understanding of the concept of "judicial discretion" and applies technical rules with no flexibility whatsoever, often at the expense of judicial economy and without any view of the big picture. ...Read More	03/23/2023 12:14 PM	Contact reviewer

60235	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	Judge Campanelli is obsessed with the respect and status that she believes she should be accorded as a judge. She totally lacks judicial temperament and has disdain for the attorneys that appear before her.	10/03/2018 09:55 AM	Contact reviewer

54108	Criminal Defense Lawyer	View Details	Both my husband and I (a court-certified interpreter for 24 years) totally agree with the previous comment of a Criminal Defense Lawyer who wrote his rating of Judge Campanelli. Here is the last sentence of his comment: “Maybe she...Read More	02/11/2018 09:04 PM	Contact reviewer
41071	Criminal Defense Lawyer	View Details	Joy Campanelli seems to get a certain perverse pleasure in 'teaching people a lesson.' I have heard from one lawyer that she threw a defendant in jail for writing with a piece of chalk on the subway floor. Anger turns into pity ...Read More	02/25/2016 05:11 AM	Contact reviewer
