Sample Lawyer comments:
- "Judge Chushcoff is one of the brightest on the bench. He knows the law and correctly applies it."
- "He believes he is knowledgeable, but his rulings and application of the law would suggest otherwise at times. The second you challenge him you will not receive another favorable ruling."
- "Arrogance, from top to bottom. If you can tolerate him his courtroom is actually a very good place to try a case. Very efficiently run, professional, and no room for gamesmanship."
- "For the most part very good although at times I have seen him treat other attorneys with something short of the full respect they should receive. He can be sarcastic to counsel which he should realize a judge should not employ."
- "Appears to be a defense attorney at heart, but a fantastic judge who follows the law."
Judge's response:
"The decisions I make have important and lasting consequences for the people who appear in court, for their families and for our community. So I take care to get it right. I work hard to impartially apply the law to the facts of each case and to explain my decision. While I do not know which of the lawyers’ remarks the TNT will choose to print, I have read each one for feedback in an effort to improve how I am doing. It was encouraging to receive the many flattering comments. Thank you."
