Aging federal judge

Aging federal judge

Brown hundred senior citizens to settle a lawsuit in addition to his own will, but also reflects the aging of American society and federal judges lean problems.

April 26, the U.S. Census Bureau released data show that the number of centenarians in the United States over the past 20 years, some nearly doubled, reaching nearly 7.2 million people. 2020 than they are now at least double again. And 20 years ago, the figure is 37,300. With a population expert at Boston University, Thomas Jasper Wales as saying that U.S. centenarians is mainly due to the increase in health care levels.

In addition to aging population, the federal judges in recent years the Senate. "Battle." A position vacant for months or even for years after not add nothing new. About 1,300 people in the current federal judges, there are more than 500 people are semi-retired "senior judge". As more and more federal cases, the judge's workload has also increased, "senior judge" the work have gone up about 20 percent of the federal court work completed by these older judges.

On this issue, the U.S. judiciary has been started to pay attention. Las Vegas federal judge Philip general in a media interview last year, it said: "Most of the judges to take pride in their work, of course they want to be remembered is his highest level, but often if you level down, they are difficult to see out of. "is the general state of the Ninth Circuit Court Judge Commission, the Commission and the judge responsible for the age and health related issues. According to reports, many other regions are also considering the establishment of such committees.

Despite the joke, said they have to "lie" to leave the court, but Brown still says he wants to do a good job, if he thinks the time is up, will naturally retire.

A few years ago, lawyers and court staff began to notic

A few years ago, lawyers and court staff began to notice, Judge Brown occasionally in court, "Pause", sometimes up to several minutes. When people began to suspect that Brown finally to "old clothes" when he began to court with oxygen bottles. "Pause" never appeared.

Every weekday morning, Brown in 8:30 to leave their nursing home residence, the court has been working to 3 pm. In addition to sitting court, he also reviewed the files, and assistants to discuss the case. Until more than 90 years old, he went to his day in the courthouse stairs 4th floor of the office until 2006, he often played golf.

Brown, from the age of 10 began to work. At that time, his father became ill, he had to start making money to support their family. Talking about work, he said he grew up in the work, did not know what other work activities in addition to law. Perhaps the secret of his longevity is to continuously work on, continue to exercise their brain.

Despite advanced age, but Brown was not behind the times. His mobile phone, computer desk on the shelf. He used the network to understand the social conditions and current affairs. Right now, his biggest hobby is reading, especially murder mystery novel. "I do not think he is the last century people," Mel Green says of Brown, "his thinking and the rest of us, like the times."

Brown hands in the end was jailed for 30 months, said Randy Hicks, when he heard the trial judge in his own have been a hundred when he was a bit worried that judges can not understand their fraud involved, perhaps people would think 20 years ago. "He still may be sitting in 20 years," Hicks said, "I admire him and hope he continue to stay here."

Practice for many years to accumulate enough

Practice for many years to accumulate enough for the Brown's wisdom, but he did not Yilaomailao. District Judge Eric Meyer Green commented that Brown will never impose their views of other judges, but rather frankly told his colleagues, let them make their own judgments.

Mel Green, former federal judge did federal prosecutors. He said, make their own prosecutors, Brown has privately said to him, as a prosecutor, the most important decision may not decide whom to sue, but who decided not to prosecute. He said he still think that this is a wise conclusion.

In addition to share with colleagues outside their own life experience, Brown also showed some of the defendants, "saving lives" of compassion. In March this year, giving the defendant Kai Xili He was sentenced for fraud to 37 months imprisonment. Is he 28-year-old defendant, said: "As an old man, I can not say that they do not feel sorry for this outcome, but I hope you finally go the right way. I wish you good luck."

Work is the secret of longevity

When talking about when he intends to leave the court, Brown joked in an interview: "lay out."

Brown 49-year career as a judge, his assistant then many have become federal judges, then become a "senior judge", but Brown still does not take a break plans. Of course, this does not mean Brown is not affected by age. In recent years, he has reduced the workload, and in March this year to stop accepting criminal cases, special civil cases.
