Judge Jacob rules by emotion, not law.
Judge Jacob rules by emotion, not law. I have heard from several Loudoun attys that they have left her courtroom on numerous occasions scratching their heads over her decisions. I too have suffered this. She allowed a protective order to be placed on me with literally ZERO legal reason. The justification was she thought I "would call the plantiff if the protective order was not in place". That is NOT grounds for a protective order, especially on someone who has no police record of any kind. She let her gut over-rule the law. She should not be practicing law, and certainly should not be a judge.
