Judicial Scouting Report for U.S. District Court Judge Richard G. Stearns

David E. Frank February 27, 2013

 

Stearns earned a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford University in England. While he was there, he roomed with future President Bill Clinton. He once told a reporter that Clinton was “the most natural politician I’d ever seen. Within an hour of our meeting, I told people [he] would be president someday.”

 

“Not every problem has a legal solution,” Stearns is quoted as saying. “Rigid insistence on the rule of law as a value that transcends all others, even at the risk of collective suicide is, as Justice Jackson famously warned, simply too high a price to pay.”

 

Stearns is a former Democratic Party operative, serving in a number of political posts, including as director of delegate operations for the presidential campaign of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (1979-1980); speech writer for the office of Lt. Gov. Thomas P. O’Neill III (1975-1976); and special assistant to U.S. Sen. George McGovern (1972-1973).

 

In 1993, Stearns was considered the top candidate for appointment to director of the FBI, but after facing criticism for his liberal leanings and opposition from then-Attorney General Janet Reno, he withdrew from the nominee pool.

 

Stearns was appointed to preside over a controversial suit challenging Boston public schools’ student assignment policy in 2000 when U.S. District Court Judge Nancy Gertner was ordered to step aside for commenting on the case to the Boston Herald.

 

SOME OF HIS NOTABLE RULINGS

Stearns held in the December 2012 Genzyme Corp. v. Shire Human Genetic Therapies, Inc., et al. decision that press releases are not protected scientific speech. The case involved a biotech company that sued its competitor under the Lanham Act for distributing a press release that allegedly made false claims about a drug manufactured and sold by both companies. Stearns found that secondary dissemination of the scientific research referenced in the release did not rise above ordinary marketing speech.

 

The judge ruled in March 2011 that the Department of Health and Human Services cannot impose religiously based restrictions on reproductive health services for victims of human trafficking.

 

In 2007, Stearns accepted a guilty plea from former House Speaker Thomas M. Finneran on a single count of obstruction of justice. Stearns sentenced Finneran to 18 months of unsupervised probation and ordered him to pay a $25,000 fine.

 

Stearns issued a ruling in October 2012 that insurance carriers could reimburse attorneys’ fees owed under a duty to defend at a “blended” fee rate, rather than the actual higher rate billed by the lawyers. “Under the circumstances, the court finds that the insurers’ reimbursement hourly rates were reasonable and fairly compensated the attorneys for the value of the legal services rendered,” he wrote.

 

He recently denied a motion to dismiss brought by Ropes & Gray in a multi-million-dollar malpractice suit filed by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The Boston law firm argued that the laboratory failed to allege in its complaint that a Ropes partner’s conduct caused it any harm. “However … the Amended Complaint repeatedly pleads that Vincent’s alleged misconduct caused CSHL significant harm. … Thus, the court is unpersuaded by defendants’ argument that CSHL’s negligence claim should be dismissed.”

I'm guessing the Pima County Charter includes provision for Militia but not organized police force?

>I'm guessing the Pima County Charter includes provision for Militia but not organized police force?

I guessed wrong. Pima County does not and has not had a Charter similar to New England. The place was set up by legislature of the old Arizona Territory and had carried on under mostly State Law since. The Sheriff's Posse is still an option, but the rules about it in modern times greatly restrict its use and members. Article 16 of the Arizona Constitution does provide for militia of all able bodied male citizens between the ages of 18-45
