Judge Jamie Goodman of West Palm Beach, FL; ethical gnome

The state of Florida presented Jamie Randall Goodman with a law license in 19922 after he graduated from Cornell University School of Law.

The 2019 retention evaluation conducted by the Palm Beach County Bar as to the qualifications for Jamie’s retention as a 15^th Circuit Court judge didn’t go to well. The 151 attorney responses as to the Jamie’s qualifications are set forth below.

The scoring below came about from scores from attorneys and court staff as to various categories.

• Knowledge/Application of the Law = 51 stating he needs improvement
• Impartiality (Freedom from Bias & Prejudice) = stating he 76 needs improvement
• Judicial Demeanor & Courtesy to lawyers = 114 stating he needs improvement
• Control of Courtroom (In person or by zoom) = 54 stating he needs improvement
• Case Management (Efficiency in Handling Caseload) = 51 stating he needs improvement
• Punctuality & Timeliness in Rendering Rulings & Decisions = 51 stating he needs improvement
• Common Sense (Use of Practical Considerations in Decision Making) = 79 stating he needs improvement
• Enforcement of Standards of Professionalism = 68 stating he needs improvement

Over 70% of respondents stated that Jamie lacks the proper Judicial Demeanor and Courtesy when dealing with attorneys. One must wonder how he treats litigants who are unfortunately enough to have to appear in his so-called court.

As we speak (ca. August 2022), Jamie continues to dispense her so-called idea of jurisprudence as a  Palm Beach County Circuit Court judge West Palm Beach, Florida.
