Sample Lawyer comments:
  • "Good knowledge of the law. Sometimes his analysis is a little off but overall, he is solid."
  • "Very good courtroom demeanor. Judge Culpepper has a good sense of humor that he lets show and it helps relax those appearing before him."
  • "Poor demeanor: very sarcastic, not terribly courteous, makes snide comments."
  • "I think he tries to be impartial, but it can be hard to tell with all his editorializing."
  • "In civil cases, he favors the plaintiff. In criminal cases, he favors the defendant."
Judge's response:

"Since the comments are anonymous, I can’t really respond to them in any meaningful way."
