Your comment reminds me of a Mark Twain stunt. If I recall correctly, when he was touring Italy he visited a museum where someone showed him some writing by Christopher Columbus. Mark Twain criticized the poor penmanship and asked the flabbergasted curator if he had any examples of Good writing.
It is a shame we get lost in ritual and procedure and forget what is really important in these things. A man going to prison for want of a silver tongued lawyer with good writing skills is more of an indictment of our system than it is of the person trying to see justice done.
It ought to be the duty of all officers of the court to see justice done.
I agree it is rather “a small issue”. I have been in the courts for over 30 years. I am not a lawyer. I don’t think think inmate’s letters fail to Capitalize the word “judge”. You might as well fold your hand if you disrespect the position. Personally i think the Judge in this case is a political hack but I would spell the name and title properly in my filings.
