THE ROBING ROOM Where Judges are Judged

Rating:1.0   Comments: One of the worst her profession has to offer. She is arrogant, condescending, placing herself in a position of superiority to all who appear in front of her. She is slow to rule on cases, letting those convicted in her court to languish in prison. When presented with exculpatory evidence, she sits on it without ruling. She encourages abuse of power by the federal prosecutors appearing in front of her as well as making overly broad interpretations of existing law as long as it favors the prosecution. One has to wonder how many innocent people are in prison because of her. Send e-mail to this poster 11/23/2010 7:27:59 PM |

Rating:1.0 Comments: I agree with these negative ccomments. Arrogant, stupid, rude. Completely un- disinguished in her schooling and professional career before her annointment, It's scary that she, and others, have a lifetime appointment. Send e-mail to this poster 10/25/2010 9:25:45 PM |

Rating:Not Rated Comments: Either she has an agenda or is totally confused. The worst part is she doesn't eve comprehend what the issues are yet displays an arrogant superior veneer that conveys an attitude that you don't know what is going on.Nurse Ratchett indeed.

Rating:1.5  Comments: She is an idiot who thinks she's a genius, a deadly combination. I had an oral argument in front of her that focused entirely on something that was so clearly not an issue that neither opposing counsel nor I had any idea how to answer her moronic questions, and then she decided the case on an issue for which oral argument would have been very valuable. The "others" who liked her must have been paid . . . Send e-mail to this poster 8/9/2010 5:35:11 PM |

Rating:1.6 Comments: We must, regrettably, echo the negative comments of the vast majority of those lodged already. It is remarkable how similar our completely disparate experience was, to those stated below. This judge belongs nowhere near a federal or state bench. Send e-mail to this poster 6/2/2010 3:59:37 PM |

Rating:1.0 Comments: A prime example of right wing judicial bias, laziness and arbitrariness. If you are a civil plaintiff, count on getting screwed regardless of the merits. If you are a corporate defendant, rest easy. Send e-mail to this poster 5/8/2010 6:53:49 AM |

Rating:2.2 Comments: An incompetent whose sharp Right Wing prejudices elevated her to the bench. Her hostility and bias against civil plaintiffs can hardly be disguised. Her utter contempt for injured people and favoritism toward corporate defendants can't be masked. She converted what once was a sanctuary -- the federal courts -- for disadvantaged into a death trap for their claims. She bends her rules to favor the defense while harming plaintiffs. While she does not raise her courtroom voice, the soft Nurse Ratchet tone only masks her sharp edges as she manipulates procedures, the law and her own Byzantine processes to streamline her docket by artifice in dismissing cases that then require years of scrutiny by the Tenth Circuit. How sad the Denver Bench has degenerated from the loftier perches of her predecessors into the depths of an sad excuse like her disgracing the bench.

Rating:2.8 Comments: She is easily the worst judge in this district. She runs her courtroom and dispenses "justice" as paradigmatic examples of exalting form over substance. Someone this inflexible and anal retentive should absolutely not be on the bench. It's a crying shame one of our precious few Article III slots in this jurisdiction is occupied by someone with such a small-minded and cramped view of the law and the world.

Rating:1.0 Comments: By far, the worst judge in this district. She combines incredible arrogance with a complete lack of knowledge. She also waits until a few days before trial to rule on dispositive motions, which means we have to waste our time and the client's money preparing for trials that may not ever occur.

Rating:3.8 Comments: This is one of the most unpleasant jurists that I have ever had the misfortune to practice in front of, in several years of practice in many jurisdictions. She is not unintelligent, but seems to be so consumed with making herself appear to "see what others do not" (particularly the attorneys appearing in front of her) that she makes non-sensical rulings and sees things in the rules of civil procedure and the law that are not there. Many attorneys who have had experience with her groan at the mention of her name. She requires strict adherence to the rules, and to her unusual interpretation of the rules, even in situations in which this makes no sense and greatly and needlessly burdens litigants and their counsel. She takes many months to issue rulings on dispositive motions but yet refuses to grant stays of discovery once qualified immunity has been asserted even though parties are entitled to such stays under clearly established law. Instead, she will grant "partial" stays and set deadlines for discovery, dispositive motions and Final Pre-Trial Conferences while dispositive motions in which qualified immunity have been asserted languish for months. She holds the litigants' feet to the fire to work up a case completely -- at great effort and expense -- while motions to dismiss that have an excellent chance of being granted sit untouched. Before Final Pre-Trial Conferences she instructs counsel to check the schedules of their clients and all important witnesses so that this may be taken into account in trial settings, but then pays no regard to any scheduling conflicts that parties may have, for no apparent reason. She regularly sets conferences at which both counsel and their clients must appear in person on the day before or after major national holidays and refuses to re-schedule no matter the hardship to counsel or litigants. In sum, she is frequently disdainful and contemptous of those appearing before her, and hit or miss in her legal rulings. Send e-mail to this poster 8/28/2009 3:55:58 PM |

Rating:2.3 Comments: You'd expect a judge to know and be able to apply basic law like the Rooker-Feldman doctrine and Ex parte McCardle, but Judge Krieger fails even this elemental test of competence. Send e-mail to this poster 3/15/2009 8:37:11 AM |

Rating:1.3 Comments: She does not like to rule on issues before the trial. Kept asking me, "what is this, mother may I?" So without a ruling (after many attempts to get clarification and boundaries), I asked the witness a question and she freaked out! It was a very unusual way of trying a case.

Rating:10.0 Comments: Her ruling on the obscenity known as 'free speech zones' falls into the category of fascist abuse. There is nothing honorable about this judge. Free speech sidewalk jails are inherently undemocratic and fascist. Send e-mail to this poster 9/10/2008 9:58:06 AM |

Rating:Not Rated Comments: Thank you U.S. District Judge, Marcia S. Krieger, for ruling in effect, that the Constitution and Bill of Rights are trumped by the need for governmental security interests. Your ruling that approves the putting of the protesters at the Democratic National Convention in a fenced cage at a remote distance from the Convention and that protest groups have ample alternative means of expression, is like is like attempting to “put a cap on a volcano.” Your ruling is right in line with the political policy of our present national government’s disregard for the Constitution and Bill of Rights as a means of waging war against terrorism. I guess any one who protests the national policy of unending war has to be treated as a potential terrorist and their civil rights suspended. Send e-mail to this poster 8/7/2008 12:09:55 PM |

Rating:2.5 Comments: The two "others" that gave this judge high scores must be related to her. This is the worst judge, state or federal, that I have ever had the displeasure of appearing before. She is hostile, uninformed and driven primarily by an insatiable desire to belittle others to make herself appear smart. I pity those that have to practice in front of her on a regular basis. Be prepared for lectures on form and procedures over substance in your case and know that you will spend your time briefing the most basic issues of evidence and law throughout the trial as this judge attempts to get her brain around the basics of law.

Rating:1.8 Comments: How did this person become a U.S. District Court judge? Who is reviewing these people for general competency? Judge Krieger is a government administrator bureaucrat, and that is being charitable. You must comply with one of her myriad procedures, forms, deadlines, etc. or suffer stupid consequences that sometimes affect legal rights. She is mostly disgusted with trial lawyers and claims. She does not like to make decisions. Unlike most of the other judges that arguably are smart and don't need to impress parties and lawyers, Judge Krieger must institute procedures and dumb requirements so that she call pull the strings of all courtroom participants like marionettes. Perhaps all of this comes from her bankruptcy background, but she really has no idea what being a judge really means. Send e-mail to this poster 12/18/2007 8:55:09 AM |

Rating:2.5 Comments: Having practiced in four different federal jurisdictions in three states, I must say that this is the worst jurist I have appeared before in all respects. This judge demonstrates the lowest intellect and has no grasp of criminal issues and law; has the worst temperament; is the most unreasonable; and has an irrational desire to hold form over substance. The entire criminal bar hates appearing before her. It was a shame she did not get the appointment to the 10th Circuit. Send e-mail to this poster 9/27/2007 10:54:16 AM |

Rating:10.0 Comments: This judge is even-handed, well educated, and is overall an excellent jurist whose knowledge of the law knows no superior. The complaints issued regarding this judge are typically from sub-par attorneys/litagators that find their ego defeated when they leave the courtroom. Individuals that leave her courtroom feeling cheated or that the outcome of their case was unjust should know that if this is the case, it is only due to their own incompetence.

Rating:10.0 Comments: I find Judge Krieger to be an extremely fair, even-handed, and rational jurist whose knowledge of the law and procedure far exceeds the scope of most attorneys--perhaps the fact that she is so often light-years ahead of council has been mistaken for arrogance. Moreover, her respect for, and committment to, the legal system and trial process is unfailing. Expect a strict judge with very high standards for council--we are, after all, professionals.

Rating:6.4 Comments: Judge Krieger is smart, capable, and hardworking. But she unfailingly approaches every single problem with the mindset that she is vastly more intelligent than the attorneys. Her arrogance is nothing short of breathtaking. It is not only irritating, it affects the quality of her rulings and the justice dispensed in her court because she just won't listen to the attorneys, sometimes even when the opposing sides are in agreement. She has all the ability to be a good judge; but she is desperately in need of a healthy dose of humility. Send e-mail to this poster 7/24/2007 5:29:38 PM |

Rating:3.3 Comments: Krieger is indeed arrogant, incorrectly thinking she knows everything and is the smartest person in the room. Not respectful of jury verdicts. One of several Colorado judges who believe they walk above the water. Send e-mail to this poster 7/4/2007 8:15:01 AM |

Rating:4.8 Comments: This judge suffers from the belief that she is smarter than everyone else. She, therefore, always must find a solution different than what the parties suggest. She is quite arrogant and smug but still manages to get it right most of the time. Send e-mail to this poster 9/5/2006 12:23:44 PM |
