Speaking of traditions started on the AOC Watcher . . .
Is JCW going to continue the tradition of the Crystal Gavel Award? If so, here’s a vote for Maria Dinzeo, Bill Girdner, and Courthouse News Service for the 2011 Crystral Gavel Award.
Long live the ACJ.

Out of respect for AOC Watcher, we’re treating the crystal gavel award as if it were trademarked.
If AOC Watcher wishes to have administrative permissions over here at Judicial Council Watcher and make the award themselves – or permits us to make crystal gavel awards – we’re going to continue to treat the crystal gavel award as a trademark.
Our version is the hall of fame. Bill, Maria and Courthouse News are already listed.
