The Professor Nedley Series is a    Series of Short and Long Articles of  Possible Assistance to Judicial Officers, the Public and Even Lawyers  

Retirement Time is Just the Begining, Professor Nedley joins ADR Services, Inc.

"Retirement Time is Private Judging Time" with Alternative Dispute Resolution Services, Inc.

That time has arrived for the Professor.  After serving on the San Diego Superior Court Bench for more than 12 years and in the private sector for more than 28 years, Judge Edward Huntington has retired and will join ADR Services, Inc. to continue private judging in the fields of Family and Business Law as well as Taxation.  The offices are in the downtown NBC building and the phone is 619-233-1323 (Ask for Genevieve or Erin).  THE DOORS ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS.  Judging has been a wonderful profession and the practice of law was truly a joy that seems to have gone by in a flash.  It seems like just yesterday when I was taking cases from Jim Allen, Don Peterson and Joe Bryans at the City Attorneys office to go try 'em sight unseen.  What a treat!  Private judging promises to be a whole new treat. We plan to have special pricing for the active duty military as well as special education days on special topics of interest.  Don't wait to shift over to private judging and control you own calendar and proceed at your pace - NOT the Court's - call us now. There is a choice of services.

Join the Fiesta Dunes Golf Club and become someone.
Email Nedley@san.rr.com for Golf Information

The Fiesta Dunes Golf Club was formed for the poor schlub who doesn't want to pay 1000's of dollars to join a private club simply to get a golf handicap or who finds that the Torrey Pines Men's club no longer fills the bill of providing you with a handicap and some access to one of the City's finest courses.  FDGC doesn't yet provide you with any access to a real golf course with real grass on it , BUT it does, in fact, provide you with an honest to goodness real and legitimate USGA/SCGA handicap - good for all purposes.  The Professor and his partner Ed Martin in their spare time have met all of the requirements and have become a bona fide certified handicappers with all of the rights that the SCGA can confer.  The annual cost is a mere $40 and lower yet if you wish to belong to more than one such group.  A hookup with a real golf course is in the future as are some group clinics out at Stadium Golf.

 

Professor Nedley Updates to Note!!!

    Go Right to the Tax Update Page: Don't ever forget that forgiveness of debt is income to the forgivee.  This is one of the most painful types of income there is.  You get nothing to show for it but the tax liability.

    Find the Duuuuhh!! Page:   The government just found out what your kids could have told you years ago.
         How to Find a Gas Tank This is a totally cool thing - how to tell which side of the car that a gas tank is on.  How about renting or borrowing a car.  You need to fill it up and you have no idea which side the gas goes in.  Look at the fuel icon, there may be a little arrow pointing to the correct side of the car.  On my car the icon itself is on the same side of the guage as the gas fuel hole.  Why didn't anyone ever tell us this slick little trick?

**************************************

The Discipline Page This page list the top ten categories that get lawyers in trouble and outlines the areas where judges get into behavioral problems with the Professor's own tips for some avoidance.

           Check on a Judge Right Here         Check on an Attorney Right Here   

Disso-Opoly:  The latest Board game craze from Professor Nedley.  Once you start to play, you can't stop.  The money's all real and you lose all of it.  There are no trains or hotels in your future and you may darn well get to "go to Jail" and there are no "get out of Jail free" cards.

Food Reviews: This is a new page.  it contains the collective wisdom of the S.M.B.J.A. judges.  Each restaurant has been personally evaluated by one of our "unknown eating judges".  Read and enjoy - your comments are welcome - both good and bad. 

Books & Law: The most important new item is an actual review of a book by Judge Norbert Ehrenfreund.   In short, it's marvelous. "The Nuremberg Legacy"

SMBJA is the duly constituted South Mission Beach Judges Association.   Judges Phil Sharp, Bob May, Ned Huntington, Bill Kronberger and Larrie Brainard are co-founding members.  Honorary members are Judges John Einhorn, Art Jones & Leo Papas.  There are many "wannabes" too numerous to mention.

Why This Website

Professor Nedley's Website is primarily for Lawyers and Judges in California who specialize and work in Family Law.  It is a series of short, useful articles and tools on variety of off-the-beaten-track problems and topics that face all of us in the courtroom everyday.  As one example, "Lingo Buster" is a library of over 150 buzzwords that are tossed about in the family law courtroom everyday.  Lingo Buster starts with a very simple cite that takes you right to the statute or case that covers that topic.  That is followed by a one paragraph explanation of the term that will give you a "clue" as to the actual subject matter. . . . . In other words - Instant Knowledge in the Cauldron of the Courtroom. (It's a separate webpage for which you can create an instant desktop icon, making emergency help only a "Mouseclick Away").  There are no charges for any of this HOWEVER huge government grants are welcome.

Homepage:  Why not make this your Homepage? Simply go to "Tools" at the top of the page and in the drop down menu, click on "Internet Options".  Then select the tab that says "General" and under the "Homepage" category click on "Use Current", then hit "Apply", then hit "OK" and now you've got Professor Nedley as your home page.  You'll get to see what's new and you'll get the SMBJA's latest restaurant reviews as well as the best in political cartoons from "Back East".  What are you missing?  If you really need something like research or legal topics go to the Alexandria Law Library or the court's own website, they're only a quick, click away.
