Mathews: Nation's longest serving judge was a tyrant in the court

BYLINE: Joe Mathews

LENGTH: 718 words

HIGHLIGHT: That it required death to retire U.S. District Court Judge Manuel Real is a scandal that survives him.

Let's not rejoice at Manuel Real's death. But his passing offers some good news: California's most troublesome federal
judge is off the bench.
While federal judges are appointed for life, the fact that it required death to retire Real is a scandal that survives him.
The 53-year career of Real-the nation's longest-serving federal judge in modern history-offers ugly lessons about
character, impunity and the impotence of our leaders.
If those first two paragraphs seem harsh, it may because you read the ludicrously glowing obituaries following Real's
death this summer. The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Associated Press and legal publications portrayed his
career as that of a judicial giant. Appointed to the bench by LBJ in 1966, Real courageously ordered the desegregation
of the Pasadena schools in the early 1970s, and blocked President Trump's efforts to strip funds from police departments
that don't cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
"A towering legal figure," the L.A. Times called him. Stories approvingly quoted a statement from Central District of
California Chief Judge Virginia A. Phillips calling Real the court's "heart and soul" and adding: "His legacy of public
service is an inspiration beyond compare."
Real's record is incomparable, but let's pray it's not an inspiration.
What the obituaries missed was Real's routinely awful treatment of people in his courtroom, and a decision-making
style so rushed and lawless that he was routinely reversed by higher courts. In 2006, Congress even held a hearing about
impeaching him.
Growing up in Pasadena, I knew Real's name, given his heroic role in the desegregation case. So it was a shock when,
as an L.A. Times journalist, I covered hearings in his courtroom. I have never seen a judge as tyrannical as Real.
Real sometimes justified his behavior in the name of efficiency. But his behavior encouraged disrespect for the law. He
prevented jurors from taking notes or having courtroom testimony read back to them. He often yelled or cut off
questioning of witnesses in nonsensical ways.
When challenged, he repeated a bizarre mantra: "Counsel, this is not Burger King! In this courtroom, we do it my way!"
Real "created a courtroom of terror," attorney Victor Sherman once told the L.A. Times.
That Real was a menace was no secret, but no one could knock him off the bench. Not colleagues who saw his difficult
tenure as the central district's chief judge. Not the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals judges who reversed him at record-
high rates (in two-thirds of major cases, according to one analysis) and repeatedly removed him from cases during
which he ignored their orders and violated basic procedures. He even survived mismanaging the assets of Philippine
dictator Ferdinand Marcos in one case.
Real wasn't even kicked off the bench after his lawless 2000 takeover of a bankruptcy case involving a woman whose
probation he personally oversaw. A U.S. Supreme Court commission would later cite Real as exemplifying an
 Page 3

Friday

unaccountable judge. But federal judges police their own, and Real escaped that episode with a reprimand. Appallingly,
in his later years, other judges honored him.
Real was unrepentant. In one of several L.A. Times stories about his misconduct, Real said: "The best thing about being
a judge is the nature of the service you think you're rendering. The worst thing, probably, is the inability to come down
off the bench and punch somebody in the nose."
So why did Manuel Real get the generous judgment in death that he denied others in court?
One reason is the human reluctance to criticize the deceased. Real also could be charming and public-spirited outside
court; a school is named for him in Riverside County, where he helped establish a school district.
But there are other, more troubling explanations. First, in these politicized times, we have the bad habit of conflating
ideology-Real was a liberal-with character. Second, the American system provides no practical way to remove people
who violate norms and abuse power, be they federal judges or-as today's news demonstrates-president of the United
States.
Even after his death, those who know better won't challenge Real. If you're expecting judges to protect us from tyrants,
you'll be disappointed.

Sense of deja-vu as by-elections begin to look more likely

BYLINE: RENEE VIELLARIS renee.viellaris@news.com.au

SECTION: NEWS; Pg. 15

LENGTH: 519 words

TALK swirling around judicial circles is that Labor's federal shadow attorney-general Mark Dreyfus will quit within
the year and be appointed to the bench by the Victorian Andrews Government.
Rumours are also doing the rounds about a "hurt" Tanya Plibersek, with colleagues speculating whether she too will
quit.
If the past parliament was dogged by by-elections because of those pesky dual citizens, this parliament will have a
similar annoyance because of demoralised Labor MPs nursing egos after losing the unlosable election.
It will follow the pattern of MPs saying they have passion for the job and within the next year, a number will find
reasons why they cannot justify staying on.
Dreyfus, 62, expected to be attorney-general again.
His plan after Labor won the May election, was to push through a national Independent Commissioner Against
Corruption-type body and set his legacy upon the federal parliament.
But after Scott Morrison's win, Dreyfus has been left contemplating his next move, sources say.
This is not how Dreyfus wanted to spend the last years of his career - sitting on the Opposition frontbench with a
portfolio that has lost responsibility to Labor's home affairs spokeswoman Kristina Keneally. And with the mandatory
retirement of judges - 70 years - the exact type of appointment the Andrews Government would lust after, and an illness
in the Dreyfus family, many in Labor are expecting the QC to quit.
Dreyfus knows there is no guarantee Labor will win the next election. Some of the old timers could be facing their 10th
year in Opposition - a truly soul-destroying proposition.
If Dreyfus (who's office has refused to comment on the speculation of his retirement) pulls the pin, it creates an
interesting dilemma for Anthony Albanese.
Dreyfus is from the Victorian Right faction and ordinarily his frontbench position would be given to another Victorian
Right MP.
But Albanese should give this position to NSW Right MP Ed Husic, who stepped down from his frontbench position to
make way for Keneally. Husic is a good media performer, but more importantly he gives Labor policy firepower.
Deals have been done before - that is Faction A gives up this position for Faction B, and the favour is returned later.
And then there's talk about Plibersek, who would be deputy prime minister today if Labor won, but now has no
leadership position under Albanese.
Her office describes speculation about her retirement as "absolute nonsense", but some colleagues believe Plibersek's
heart is not in the job. Plibersek, loyal to a fault, invested all her political capital with Bill Shorten.

She and Albo do not have a tight relationship.

Regardless, the chatter reveals division within the Labor Party. And there's a warning for Kingsford Smith MP Matt
Thistlethwaite - Keneally, ambitious and overrated, wants his seat, sources allege.
Why? Hopes of leadership.But there's no way Thistlethwaite will do Keneally any favours, especially after the bad
blood between the pair since Thistlethwaite did not support her tilt as NSW premier, after which he lost his job as
general secretary of the state Labor Party.

Push for judicial referee

BYLINE: SARAH VOGLER

SECTION: NEWS; Pg. 62

LENGTH: 576 words

QUEENSLAND'S legal fraternity has been pushing for an independent judicial commission to be set up in this state for
years.
A commission that would ensure a transparent process in appointing new magistrates and judges to their crucial,
lifelong roles.
A commission that would also shine a light on judicial complaints and ensure there is a proper, transparent process to
deal with them, rather than the current one in Queensland where any complaints go through the heads of each
jurisdiction.
No figures are publicly kept on the number of grievances lodged nor on the results of investigations, if any are held.
Organisations such as the Queensland Law Society want a judicial commission formed to bring such complaints out
from behind closed doors to increase public confidence in the courts. And now a grassroots push within the Labor Party
could finally help them realise that dream.
As the Government was copping flack for its latest controversial appointments to the Queensland Industrial Relations
Commission, it can be revealed that Labor members across the state were voting in support of a motion that could save
future governments the public fallout.
Several regional Labor member assemblies - where motions are raised and debated ahead of the party's annual state
conference, in Brisbane from August 23 to 25 - were backing a resolution to include the establishment of a judicial
commission in the party's policy platform.
"Labor will establish an independent statutory Judicial Commission that will: provide continuing education and training
for members of the judiciary, including First Nations cultural awareness training; promote consistency in sentencing;
manage complaints in relation to the judiciary in a timely and appropriate manner; incorporate the existing judicial
appointments panel to provide a shortlist to the Attorney-General of persons suitable for appointment of judicial officer;
and provide advice to the Attorney-General as may be required," the motion reads.
The Law Society has been the loudest voice in support of establishing a commission here. But it has also previously
been backed by the Bar Association and some former judges.
Yet administration after administration in Queensland has been hesitant to follow through.
Current Attorney-General Yvette D'Ath has gone some way to improving things through her judicial protocol for
appointing new judges.
Vacancies are advertised and potential candidates can apply before a panel recommends final candidates to the
Attorney-General.
Ms D'Ath has never shut the door on taking the next step and establishing a judicial commission. But she is yet to name
it as a priority.
 Page 14

The LNP has also left the door open to considering such a commission should the Opposition win government at next
year's state election in October.
Despite support from Labor branch members, the motion to establish an independent Queensland judicial commission is
missing from the draft policy platform emailed out to delegates last week ahead of the conference.
That does not mean it will be the end of the matter, however. It is understood it could be moved from the floor,
alongside other motions, when delegates meet in two weeks' time.
If it is moved from the floor, it is likely to gain the necessary support at the conference to be added to Labor's platform
ahead of next year's election.And that will be a major step forward in ensuring it is finally, firmly on Labor's agenda,
should it win a third term.
