My Favorite Judge Frank Russell Story

By Philip Thomas on March 8, 2017

As reported in the Daily Journal, former Circuit Judge Frank Russell died on Saturday. Judge Russell had a quick wit, as evidenced by this exchange that I was lucky enough to see in person:

Defense lawyer:  I’ve got 10 reasons for why you should grant our summary judgment motion.

Judge Russell:  Well, you better pick your favorite 3.

Just….epic.
