Judges appointed must be elected in the next election. Superior Court Judges work on juvenile, divorces and adoptions. Private Practices handle criminal cases and Law School should offer business management classes. George likes the life of a judge and enjoys being active in the community. The Most Important Case is whatever case that is in front of him at that time. Frustrations included Judge Judy, lack of preparation of lawyers and lack of appreciation of the ligation costs.
