a 5-year long divorce with two high-powered slash expensive attorneys on both sides. Legal Knowledge: Judge James Brown is one of the most atrocious judges I've ever seen not only because he seems to be unaware of how the courts are supposed to work but he runs his like a pay-to-play game. the quote I've heard most recently is that for Judge Brown and Franklin County Ohio if you don't make your campaign contributions you don't stand a chance. Fairness & Impartiality: as unfair as a judge can get. I said before but the quote I've heard about him is that if you don't make your campaign contributions you simply don't stand a chance. the way it works in his courtroom is it the lawyer or law firm in front of him hasn't made the maximum allowable campaign contribution his last election he basically blows them all. at the same time he's willing to go to Great lakes and do huge favors for law firms who make their contributions on time. Judicial Temperament: Judge James Brown is a judge with a temper. it's easy to upset him by being a man, not being able to afford the outrageous amount of child support he orders or simply not understanding something. Communication: a divorce decree from Judge James Brown is just the beginning because it's so nonsensical a lot of the time it opens up for years of litigation, often until the kids are 18. Timeliness: multiple times he is gone right up to or just passed the deadline for his filings. he claims to be busy and over scheduled.
