Dear traveldoc you certainly do not represent our profession(medical) if that is whom you are, a doc.This is 2010 not 1810. Maybe you felt by responding as you did it would give you some credibility, being anonymous, sorry, it does not. Society needs less pretend justification and more true action. Being rude and showing no compassion to people is exactly that, rude. Nothing more, nothing less, just rude.Attorneys are more likely to show up late and receive better treatment, are they better people? Should this judge not be courteous to all? Go back to the 1800's it suits you better!! Stop, or at least think before you respond to something, thank god travldocs are not real docs.

anyone who shows up late for an appointment is complicit in rudeness. this country seems to have forgotten common courtesy. And unfortunately, rudeness begets rudeness, much like violence begets violence.

Hi!

Sounds like she can't understand normal thinking..

ossina said on August 5, 2010 at 8:30 PM

Thank you some are more eloquent than others, for that I apologize. I have since looked her up and I must have gotten lucky, or at least been before her on a better day. I grew up here and love this city , I just hope its government believes in equal rights for all. This judge did not. My wife and I were on time to her court a young lady with 2 children was 30 seconds late . Your honor chose to read her the riot act. I felt terrible, but at the same time was afraid of reprimand if I had said anything. Maybe this is what it takes. Thanks. Again as I said before she is the civil court judge for King County, not the criminal court!!!

seems the judge has a long list of reprimands by the commission on judicial conduct of washington state in the past (search her name at their website). wearing the robe may earn you some respect but it certainly doesn't give you the right to disrespect litigants in your courtroom. my guess is she aspires to be the next 'judge judy', which is not necessarily a compliment.

ossina said on August 5, 2010 at 6:19 PM

One more comment. She is most assuredly one of the rudest most unprofessional people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, as all those who have gone before her can attest. You are guilty before proven guilty in her court even though it is a civil court. Thanks again.

ossina said on August 5, 2010 at 6:09 PM

Reading all this praise judge judy stuff is a joke. This judge is not only rude she does not preside over criminal court but civil court so handing down sentences to quote your ignorant respondents is not her job. She decides money cases. most of which are collection cases where a head hunter is sent out to where down the regular person causing them to miss multiple days and hours of work and time with their families. I hope all you praise the judge people end up on the short end of her stick some day, maybe you would sing a different tune. By the way I won and the collections people lost after the fifth appearance in her court that they did not show up. Hope you all will research your judges before responding with your un intelligent comments. Thanks to the rude judge (although she should take another manors class she is definitely lacking in that end). Thanks for the chance.

We also got the PLEASURE of enduring Judge Judy in small claims court ... she was beyond condescendin ... power tripping and unbelievably rude. I'm glad to hear that other judges recognize her as being out of control. This actually restores my faith in our judicial system!

Sounds like she may be on a "power trip" instead of administering justice as she should be. Justice is blind and it is based on the evidence. When judges do not administer in their positions properly justice can actually be undermined instead of served.

Okay class, let's go back over the basics of the Constitution. People are considered to be innocent until proven guilty - that means that a defendant in a courtroom is NOT a criminal - not yet. They deserve the courtesy of a fair trial, and if this judge is not providing that she has no business on the bench.

My vote will always go to the Judge Judy`s of the world. We do NOT need to coddle criminales any more than they already are.

skok_cush said on August 5, 2010 at 2:07 PM

Id like more details. . . .Are we talkin she hands down harsh sentences. . . .Or treats Defendants Guilty Until Proven Innocent? Most of what TV Judy does is fine by me. TV Judy is courteous until she senses or has evidence of Lying/Misrepresenting. . . .then she reads the riot act.

Iagree that our Judges need to be less compassionate toward criminals.. letting them off with a slap on the wrist.. what is that teaching our criminals? Oh yeah.. how to beat the system!

cyrixlord said on August 5, 2010 at 1:18 PM

If my offspring were to find him/herself in front of this judge, I would certainly expect that judge to give my offspring a stern "talkin' to". If my brood won't listen to me, maybe the judge can scare my spawn onto the right path!

robsow said on August 5, 2010 at 12:59 PM

Probably 95% of the people that show up in these courtrooms deserve everything they get and need desperately to be put in their place. My vote would be maybe a reprimand and that would be about it, if it was proven that she is that bad. But suspension, ARE YOU KIDDING!! You suspend the judge that is actually doing her job and letting the dirtbag defendants that are proven guilty of DUI and killing people out with out jail time, so they can do it about 25 more times before you get "Judge Judy" to actually lower the boom on these murderers.

alanna_banana76 said on August 5, 2010 at 12:57 PM

YES! We had her as a judge on a small claims case against our HORRIBLE landlords, and she was so rude! She cut us off, yelled at my husband and refused to look at any of our evidence. This woman is out of her mind, and does not take the time to weigh in on any of the facts. We lost out on alot of money we should have recieved in rent compensation from our landlords, all because of her horrible attitude. Judge Judy is straight forward, but fair. I would have given my left leg to go up infront of the real Judge Judy instead of this crazy old bat!

bellinghamphoto said on August 5, 2010 at 12:30 PM

If she is really like Judge Judy, don't censure her, reward her. People today have attitudes like the world belongs to them and rules don't apply to them. When I was a teacher, I would have loved to have had Judge Judy come and do a parent meeting for us. I got so sick of tired of the "I never got the letter" "Nobody told me" excuses. It's about time people realized that there are rules in this world and they are for everyone. No exceptions! Go, Judge Judy!! Go Judge Judith Eiler!!

vandamme said on August 5, 2010 at 11:46 AM

I had a similar problem too. I got suspended for being Judge Van Damme. I just head-kicked a defendant in my courtroom. That's all I did. And he deserved it.
