it's very strange. you would think that some former clerks would be honest and let people know how dumb/incompetent their bosses were from time to time.

Because the large majority of people who clerk for A-3 judges actually think law is a noble profession and not a steaming pile of garbage. They're all gunners who everybody hated.

are you a nonlawmo? its an ethical rules violation to shittalk a sitting member of the judiciary. i mean technically you can but its a very slippery slope between exercising your 1st amendment right and violating Rule 8.2

Maintaining The Integrity Of The Profession

Rule 8.2 Judicial And Legal Officials

(a) A lawyer shall not make a statement that the lawyer knows to be false or with reckless disregard as to its truth or falsity concerning the qualifications or integrity of a judge, adjudicatory officer or public legal officer, or of a candidate for election or appointment to judicial or legal office.

[1] Assessments by lawyers are relied on in evaluating the professional or personal fitness of persons being considered for election or appointment to judicial office and to public legal offices, such as attorney general, prosecuting attorney and public defender. Expressing honest and candid opinions on such matters contributes to improving the administration of justice. Conversely, false statements by a lawyer can unfairly undermine public confidence in the administration of justice.

[3] To maintain the fair and independent administration of justice, lawyers are encouraged to continue traditional efforts to defend judges and courts unjustly criticized.
