Candid Advice From The Bench: Judges Are People Too

Law360, New York ( November 8, 2016, 3:44 PM EST) -- Every so often, we field questions from our clients related to jury trials versus bench trials. The general consensus among trial lawyers seems to be that jury trials favor plaintiffs, while bench trials favor defendants. The thinking goes that, while jurors tend to orient to trials emotionally, judges can "block out" all distractions and focus solely on the law. . . .
