So I am working on something before a retired South Jersey Assignment Judge who is on recall. I came across his retirement article, where he describes his role as a Judge, and articulates the judicial standard that I expect every time I appear in court, and is the standard that every judge is oath-bound to adhere to:

"When it comes to the most enjoyable and satisfying part of the job, Bookbinder says he enjoyed being able to help people and always having the chance to do what you think is the right thing, even when the right thing isn’t always clear-cut."

“I frequently wrestled with things because the cases that are easier resolve themselves outside the court system. People come to the court system as a last resort,” Bookbinder said.

In his 29 years on the bench, Bookbinder has found the key to being an effective judge starts with being fair and paying close attention to detail.

“You have to listen closely, you have to read and understand the documents that are submitted to you, and you have to always study to keep up with changing laws,” Bookbinder said."

1) Help people
2) Do the right thing, even when it isn't always clear-cut
3) Be fair
4) Pay close attention to detail
5) Listen closely
6) Read and understand the papers
7) Keep up with changing laws

I am not crazy when I expect this common-sense standard from Judge Du, and from the Federal Circuit. Thus far neither Amarin, nor EPADI II as intervenors, have received anything even remotely approaching this standard. The irrational hostility encountered to date, does not mean that we cannot receive this standard of judicial competence when we litigate our upcoming appeal.

The court system works and metes out justice when judges do their jobs and adhere to the standards articulated by Judge Bookbinder. When that does not happen, lawlessness, pain, suffering, and injustice ensue.
