Nathan R. Scott

Judge Scott has very little understanding of the most basic principles of law and very little regard for the black letter law and absolutely no inclination to learn what he does not now. It is very sad for this country, land of laws to have this man serve as a jurist and render such disservice to the most basic principles of justice. Do a 170.6 immediately especially if you have a complex case. He will not understand it. I have no idea how he got into Harvard Law School. He has zero intellectual aptitude for the law.

Judge Scott listened intently during law and motion and asked pointed questions, demonstrating he had clearly looked at the underlying authority and formed a preliminary understanding and opinion on the issues. We flipped tentatives on certain occasions and vice versa. He actively ruled on the issues put before him, and was not against admitting he was in the wrong. We presented technical legal issues and complex factual issues which he understood and was able to appropriately rule on. He provided detailed rulings. I agree not comfortable with making dispositive rulings and was often lenient with opposing counsel; most likely to shield from appeal. But when it came it down to it he was strong and confident in reaching judgment.

I concur with the other opinions suggesting that Judge Scott will do whatever he can to dispose of matters without having to rule on the merits.
