A Conversation with Richard Puglisi
Q: What was your favorite class in law school?
A: Conflicts.
Q: Who was your favorite professor?
A: Ted Occhialino. He not only explained things clearly but challenged us and kept us honest.
Q: What is the last book you read?
A: Lincoln's War: The Untold Story of America's Greatest President as Commander in Chief by Geoffrey Perret.
Q: What would be your dream job?
A: A Navy Seal.
Q: What do you enjoy most about being a U.S. Magistrate Judge?
A: Mediations. I get really involved in the cases and interact with the parties. It's the closest thing I get to do to practicing law and still be a judge.
Q: What is the strangest thing that has happened in your courtroom?
A: A defendant called me a name. It startled me because it had never happened before and hasn't happened since. I didn't know what to do, so I ignored it.
Thanks for digging that up. It does sound like a good judge. Let’s hope he turns this case any way but loose.
Don’t know how I got on your list, but thanks for the PING.
GO TAITZ! GO CORSI!
Thanx for the ping, and good find comment #58.
Looks like Ms Fuddy is going to have to appear before the judge on Sept 14th to explain why the State of HI refused to comply with Taitz’s subpoena. That should be interesting.
We had the same feelings about Judge Carter until Bob Bauer interfered with his court staff!!!
