The Seattle Times has this nice portrait of a Seattle trial judge who's not above taking lots of time, nearly an hour on the day before Thanksgiving, to politely get a seemingly uncooperative defendant to sign routine paperwork and submit to fingerprinting. Maintaining your cool and a courteous demeanor when everyone else (often including you) is having a bad day, is the mark of a truly great trial judge. It appears that Judge Yu is definitely one of those. I congratulate her on an obviously well deserved honor.
