Lost Week
Half of the judges took vacation this week. I work in the largest circuit in the country. This could indicate that, at the moment, our legal system is only working at half capacity. If that is the case, the state should really just close the courts full stop during the week between Christmas and New Years; give everyone a vacation. Nothing is really getting done this week, and the little that is getting done is not being done all that well (or is taking inordinately long due to the fact that I am behaving like a crack addled rabbit with ADD).
This would benefit the lawyers as well. Every type of lawyer who comes through here could definitely use at least some time off - the amount depends on the category of attorney into which they fit. I privately divide attorneys into several categories, depending on their skill, age, intensity, punctuality, cleanliness as well as their command of the English language and basic grammar. The system would probably get the most benefit if the attorneys at the top and the bottom of the food chain took a little break.
