Re: Judges signature

You state several issues here.

"Is a Jugde the final authority in the court?" Yes and no. The judge is the final authority in the judge's court for most things. In a matter committed to the discretion of the court, the judge may be corrected by a higher court only if the judge abuses that discretion. I won't take the time to review the rest. What do you want? Why are you posting this?
