Judge Richard Kopf of Nebraska has one of my favorite blogs, Hercules and the Umpire. It is rare to get a Federal Judge blogging his or her thoughts on the law, so it is a treat. Here, he points out why it might help our Appellate Court judges to spend more time in trial courts. A position that carries a great deal of value since too many Appellate Court judges second-guess what happens in the trial court level.
