Joseph F. Bianco

Terrible. Another Big Law judge. To him, the federal courts are only for the rich & famous.

Judge Bianco is a perfect example of a judge who is a bully. Cannot be bothered with the details of the facts of the case on appeal, rather he relies on the tag lines that his clerks provide even when the tag lines are 180 degrees opposed to the facts and or verdicts in the case law being cited. This is a lazy and dangerous precedent. Loves to hear himself talk. Dismissive of legitimate criticisms of the poor logic he uses and relies on. Uses his position as a person who is almost above the law to secure his position as a judge who is completely above the law. Panders to corporations. Borders on being a reliable hack for powerful parties. When I see his name on a panel, I know there will be no objectivity on his part and all I can do for my client is appeal to the remaining judges on the panel to actually think the appeal through. Clearly a highly intelligent person but has become intellectually lazy. Waste of a potentially great judge.

As a pro-se and an injured party, Judge Bianco granted me leave to amend the complaint with a stunning decision. I could not believe it. We could use more like him. Therefore, Comment #: 22420 saying "If you are Pro Se, Judge Bianco will rule against you. Period" is not accurate.
