In June 2010, the Federal Bar Council prepared a judicial profile of Judge Rakoff.
Rakoff, a fan of musical theater, wrote a song for a recent edition of the “Courthouse Follies.” The title of the song was, “A Modern Major Law Clerk,” taken from Gilbert & Sullivan’s “Modern Major General.”
I laugh at all my judge’s jokes, and listen to his endless spiel.I never pay the slightest heed to his reversals on appeal.
And even in those moments when it looks like he has gone berserk,
I smile and say, “More coffee, Judge?” – a perfect district judge’s clerk. —Jed S. Rakoff, Judge Jed S. Rakoff, The Outtakes, Wall Street Journal http://blogs.wsj.com/law/2011/11/09/judge-jed-rakoff-the-outtakes/]Read more about this topic: Jed S. Rakoff
Famous quotes containing the words interviews and/or information:
“If the justices would only retire when they have become burdens to the court itself, or when they recognize themselves that their faculties have become impaired, I would grieve sincerely when they passed away, and you would not feel like such a hypocrite as you do when you are going through the formality of sending telegrams of condolence and giving out interviews for propriety’s sake.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“Information networks straddle the world. Nothing remains concealed. But the sheer volume of information dissolves the information. We are unable to take it all in.”
—Günther Grass (b. 1927)
