Judges are almost always retained because no one outside the legal community really knows who they are. Unless one commits a crime or some other dastardly thing, they are pretty much under the radar. Unfortunately there are many mediocre people on the bench.
"Io sono stanco, sono imbigliato, and I wan't everyone here to know, there ain't gonna be no trouble from me..Don Corleone..Cicc' a port!"
"I stood in the courtroom like a fool."
"I am Constanza: Lord of the idiots."
