Where are you?

I can tell you that there are Judges in California’s Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board who welcome ass-kissing & are easily bribed over far less than a couple golf games.

tl;dr: The attorney/judge relationship can be like the lobbyist/donor/politician relationship.

Also, Golfi is a robot that can golf with judges any day & any night.

NW Florida, which one would figure is corrupt as hell. LOL, there was one local attorney, supposedly buddies with judges, his main advertising thrust was that was wouldn't represent drunk drivers. Went down for drunk driving.

Sorta related, best judge and courtroom I've ever been in was here. Judge was a youngish Hispanic dude, prosecutor was a GenX man with long greasy hair and a sorry suit. Not only was the judge insanely fair to defendants, the prosecutor never turned around once. He had no idea what the people he was prosecuting looked like, and mostly recommended leniency.

I know it's not like that everywhere, not even county to county around here.

Well, lucky you & your county I guess. Over here I’m dealing with evidence of systemic corruption, attorney conspiracy, judicial/defense ex parte actions against a plaintiff (yours truly), & so much more.
