How Judge Wangelin decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
In Mee, Wangelin treated the criminal-appointment system as a mechanism for protecting indigent defendants rather than as an employment entitlement for lawyers.
“The Act is obviously directed at securing representation for indigents and is not intended as a full employment bill for attorneys.”
Procedural preferences
In Mee, Wangelin required the plaintiff to identify both a viable federal cause of action and a protected property interest before the court could adjudicate the dispute.
“Assuming such a right of action plaintiff must still demonstrate that he was once on the appointments list and held a federally protected property interest in that status.”
