Update on the " Harriet Miers and the Judiciary" post of 10 October 2005:

According to the New York Post, "October 20, 2005 -- Brooklyn prosecutors are targeting up to 10 judges they suspect paid to get on the bench -- and told former Democratic boss Clarence Norman he'd better dish on alleged dirty jurists if he wants a plea deal."



Good odds that some more of Chief Judge Judith Kaye's black-robed bench brats will be acting up soon in the headlines. Can we expect Judge Judy to protest that the reports in the press about this one will cause the public to lose respect for the judiciary?

Never mind Harriet Miers, just watch out for all of those Brooklyn bench bums.

    In order to tell the players apart you need a scorecard.

    Proskauer partner STEVEN CHARLES KRANE's practice specializes in ethics, and he did a sabbatical in Albany as Judge Judy's law clerk 1984 - 1985 [http://www.proskauer.com/lawyers_at_proskauer/atty_data/0399].

    STEPHEN G. CRANE is an Associate Justice in the Appellate Division, 2nd Judicial Department. He is not a Proskauer partner. [http://www.nycourts.gov/courts/ad2/justice_crane.shtml]

    Methinks you are confusing Justice Crane with Proskauer partner STEPHEN RACKOW KAYE, who IS Judge Judy's spouse. [http://www.proskauer.com/lawyers_at_proskauer/atty_data/0363]

    Do not confuse any of the above with the late STEPHEN CRANE who authored the classic tome "The Red Badge of Courage."
