Very well prepared. Understood exactly which arguments advanced which (i) had merit and (ii) were junk. No need to over argue the law and facts whatsoever when the other side kills itself.
Great guy, super polite and deferential to parties and lawyers. Always willing to listen to both sides. Epitome of what a trial judge should be.
Judge Panos is a good pull if you like someone who doesn't put up with silliness and who expedites cases. He invented politeness, it seems, and he always understands the issues in front of him. He is the right person for the bench.
A welcome addition to the bench, respectful to everyone and thoughtful in his rulings. Wish there were a bench full of this judge.
