How Judge Alschuler decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
Procedural preferences
Alschuler treated confidential, pretrial exposure to conclusively incriminating information as disqualifying when it compromised the judge's impartiality.
“the judge ought not to have presided at the trial, but should have sent the ease to some other judge to whom this, conclusively incriminating evidence had not, in advance of the trial, been thus exclusively confided.”
The statutory appeal period required effective action, not merely filing a notice and application that remained unacted upon.
“the filing of the notice and application for the appeal under the indicated circumstances, without doing anything further within the sfcai iitory period, did not amount to an application for the appeal within the statutory three months after entry of the judgment.”
Cautions
An insurance exclusion for engaging in aeronautic operations did not extend to an ordinary passenger merely riding in an airplane.
“this clause respecting engaging in aeronautic operations does not embrace a passenger riding in an airplane”
