So I gave quite a bit of attention to the Judge Sam Sparks "kindergarten cop" order a few weeks ago. Well, last week Judge Sparks had his wrist slapped.
In an e-mail to Sparks obtained by Texas Lawyer (apparently much to the chagrin of Judge Edith Jones, who wrote it), the Fifth Circuit's chief judge said that the order was so "caustic, demeaning, and gratuitous that it casts more disrespect on the judiciary than on the now-besmirched reputation of the counsel." She concluded: "Ultimately, this kind of excess, as I noted, reflects badly on all of us. I urge you to think before you write." Yikes.
