Beryl A. Howell

Oh gawd another judge quoting Shakespeare.

She's an awesome judge I'm actually kind of in love with her

She'll always be chief judge in my heart

She moves her docket at a very, very terrifying speed.

Her opinions are a delight to read. She makes sure to always open the public access line to her hearings, something that not all judges are willing to do.

Extremely smart judge who is fair and has a wonderful sense of humor. She is very diligent and her opinions are well-researched. You are lucky if you get her!

I love how she is very no-nonsense on the bench, but cares about her staff and the law. Beryl Howell is who I want to be when I grow up, and her absolutely wonderful opinions keep me from descending into madness.

Love this judge. She's saying what many millions of us want to say to those violent morons who stormed the Capitol. *sighs* What an icon.

I absolutely adore Beryl Howell. She is a great judge. I got excited when I read her name because I know she doesn’t put up with nonsense.

A terrible judge

As someone who has never been involved in a court case before, I was rather expecting someone along the lines of the type of judge you see on TV: smart, calm, wise, even-tempered, knowledgable about the law, above all trying to serve justice. This image could not be farther from Judge Howell's. She has a violent temper, of which she has no real control, is incredibly rude, and has no interest in justice. Her lack of knowledge about law and judicial process is appalling. Her inability to hide her bias is shocking. Her unwillingness to recuse herself appropriately -- or even disclose that she should have recused herself -- is beyond belief. Perhaps saddest of all is her lack of interest in justice; she doesn't really seem to care if justice prevails, so long as she can pretend she "went through the motions" and can have her lunch on time.
