#2 "This is work. I will preside over a process that's fair."

It is a civil not criminal case. If the legal representation of both parties have agreed what is 'fair', the judge should have no standing. Unless there is criminal malfeasance and conspiracy between the lawyers, the matter is settled. Instead we have 'social justice' at work. Yes, dear King, pray tell what is 'fair'.

#3 Judges do have the right and I agree with what this judge is doing. Both parties were playing the inside game; they agree to a dividing of the boodle so that the lawyers do better than anyone else. The judge has every right to put the lawyers in their place, and frankly, I wish more judges would do that.

#4 Agree. This is the kind of class action litigation where the lawyers make out much better than the aggrieved. Bankruptcy is much the same.

#5 Then the judge has the power to hold the lawyers in contempt and punish them so if he finds they have absolved themselves of their 'duty' to their clients. Will we see that?
