Judge Arthur Engoron is now under investigation after claims surfaced that he received unsolicited advice from a prominent New York City real estate attorney, Adam Leitman Bailey, weeks before ordering former President Donald Trump to pay a hefty $454 million judgment.
This investigation by the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct seeks to determine whether Engoron violated judicial conduct rules, NBC New York reported
Notify me when he’s been removed from the bench. Oh wait, I’ll probably be dead by then. Never mind.
Can anyone explain what this really means for us non-lawyer people?
I mean, if I saw the judge in a supermarket, I might be tempted to yell some "unsolicited advice" at him. Would he end up being investigated because I advised him to go jump in a lake? I know there's more to it.
America’s corrupt justice system on full public display.
Until we know specifics, we can’t say for certain. But it would lend credence to the idea that somebody had access to Trump’s finances to analyze what it would take to take everything away from him.
So all we have to do to give him a bad time is to give him advice he didn’t solicit from us? I like it, but it doesn’t seem right.
I will admit, I don’t understand how the law works in such situations. Tbe judge received “unsolicited” advice. Okay.Even though the judge did not directly ask for it, someone shared their personal opinion with the judge.
What am I missing that turns this into criminal conduct?
That makes some sense. Thanks.
Judges are not supposed to be influenced by “advice” from legal parties that could be involved in the matter. Remember, the Governor of NY said she would not use this law on anyone besides the President’s election opponent.
I want to make something clear. If something happens to me, all roads lead to Joe Biden.
Joe Biden and DNC political machine threats, bullying and intimidation over the last three years will not work.
I am not suicidal. I should not be under investigation nor am I a foreign…— Tara Reade 🐎 (@ReadeAlexandra) May 7, 2023
Unsolicited? Big deal. What did he do with it? Is it provable? Doubtful.
I don’t see what’s unethical about talking to an uninterested third party. Maybe I’m missing something.
It means this is meaningless.

Interesting. From this attorney’s wikipedia page:
“Trump SoHo New York[14] is a $450 million hotel condominium. In February 2011, several prospective buyers of condominiums in the building, including French soccer star Olivier Dacourt, sued the developers in federal court, claiming that they had been tricked into buying the condos by the “deceptive” sales figures, and that the number of apartments sold at Trump Soho had been “fraudulently misrepresented.” The plaintiffs were represented by Bailey. The suit was settled with plaintiffs recovering 90 per cent of their deposits.[15][16] Several years later, the case was described as “a watershed case in the world of condo litigation ... [C]ondo attorneys said that developers are now far more reluctant to disclose sales information to buyers’ attorneys, for fear of legal repercussions if they turn out to be wrong.”[17]”
T?he guy is a prevert and hack jurist.
He needs to be removed and banned along with his recent decisions vacated.

“The New York State Rules of Judicial Conduct state that “a judge shall not initiate, permit, or consider ex parte communications, or consider other communications made to the judge outside the presence of the parties or their lawyers.” The rules do allow an exception to “obtain the advice of a disinterested expert,” if a judge gives notice to the parties in the case and gives them the opportunity to respond.”
How do you know this third party was uninterested?
Judges are only supposed to decide cases based on law and evidence. Discussing the case with an outside advisor pretty much opens the door to having this case thrown out.
Hee. hee. hee.
I think I'd have to agree with you here.
Engeron has been receiving "unsolicited advice" from all of us over here for months!
