Being a good trial judge -- which is a far more difficult than being a good appellate judge -- requires the ability to cut through a lot of b.s.
Measured by this standard, it appears that Judge Gregory A. Presnell (M.D. Fla.) is nothing short of awesome.
Lawyers make everything so needlessly complicated. For example, who needs the voir dire process? What a waste of time! Just pick jurors using "Eeny meeny miney mo."

I'm only a state court trial judge but I've found that 7:30 AM hearings clear up many of the problems that arise between lawyers such as those bedeviling Judge Presnell.
