This judge made his decision before the trail began. He listened to no experts, ignored the defense half of the time, and gave the government lawyers preference.

He already has a decision before hearing the case and tries to taylor the case around his decision. Very bias and not open to hearing other opinions.

Tough. Treats both sides equally difficult. Will do everything possible to see that cases are settled versus tried. Usually by putting the cases in a context that makes it difficult for both sides.

VERY Strict judge. You need to know what you are talking about, both on the facts, and the law when you step in his territory. Don't bring a BS case before him, he will sanction you.
