Does anyone know anything about Judge William Young?

Judge Young, a Reagan appointee, taught my trial advocacy class in law school. He's a great guy. I will never forget his advice on the last day of class. He told us that lawyers tend to live their lives as an isolated class of like-minded people, out of touch with the realities of the lives of ordinary Americans. He admonished us to live well-rounded lives instead, associating ourselves with all types of ordinary people.

I remember getting chewed out by Judge Young for making an unprofessional statement during a mock trial in my class. As you might guess, it was not a pleasant experience. Of course, he was back to his usual self after the mock exercise was over.

Thank you for sharing this about Judge Young!

This is why we need for GW to appoint as many Judges like Judge Young as he can in the next 6 years.

Isn't amazing how we remember a great learning experience from a great teacher like Judge Young for decades like your experience. Thanks for sharing this with us:

The 29-year-old British citizen cried, "You will be judged by Allah!" before being dragged from the courtroom in handcuffs.

And you, Mr Reid, have been judged by this court.
When you die, alone, in prison, from the knife of a different sort of criminal, THEN YOU will be judged by the Allmighty G*d.

I hear he was dragged from the courtroom, kicking and screaming. Whatever delusions of greatness he had, he'll be losing them soon.

We are Americans and you and your ilk will do well to be very very very afraid indeed Herr Reid!

"Richard Reid?"

Nah.

Richard Cranium, more likely!

[Thanks v!]

If he hadn't pled guilty, it would have been pretty hard to prove his intent

WTF?? What the hell else would he be doing with shoes full of plastic explosive -- trying to break Michael Jordan's high-jump record?
