Must Have Skipped The Refresher Course On Ethics
-
You apparently don't have to be all that bright to be a judge. I noticed that when living in the Philadelphia area and seeing people I knew to be less than adept as lawyers getting elected to the bench despite being rated unqualified by the bar association, all due to political machinations. That's why I'm not THAT shocked that a judge in Arkansas had to be dismissed because he posted confidential information from Charlize Theron's closed-record adoption on an LSU sports fan message board. It wasn't the only case he blabbed about under the user name "geauxjudge." How he thought this was ethical and proper, I can't imagine. But he managed to become a judge. Incredible, but not uncommon.
