Best Judges / Magistrates in SA

[overloaded]

Anyone seen any judges at work in the courts? I went and watched a case in the Samuel Way building the other day and was most impressed with Snowpek. Big man with a big heart.

However I had a look at Boxall and Foley and they look like they need to retire.

Actually - you probably have them around the wrong way! Paul Foley is the best of those three. Bill Morris is also an excellent magistrate. Watch Jai McGrath - she should be very good too (she is only a recent appt).

There was a grumpy old italian lady that I think her name sounded like Piangitidis. I didnt rate her much.


Do you not like Snopek?

Maria Panagiotidis - nice lady but suffers fools badly

Snowy went to the MC from the DPP.

The DPP deals with major indictable matters.

The Magistrates Court only does committal hearings for major indictable matters.

I sense Snowy gets frustrated by some of the matters he has to adjudicate - particularly when he is on the country circuit. He has been known to yell....

Muecke's pretty good. I think there is a sense of humour under the wig too.
