Judging the Judges: Gale B. Robinson (Nashville, TN)

PRIVATE REPRIMAND - aka “not even a slap on the wrist”


This is a link to private reprimand of Nashville judge Gale B. Robinson. Judge Robinson was "privately reprimanded" for working at a family owned funeral home while court was supposed to be in session, thereby NOT attending to the cases the judge was supposed to preside over. In other words, Judge Gale was drawing a judge's salary while working at the funeral home.

Judge Robinson was also cited for not reporting "significant extrajudicial income" from the funeral home business.

If an ordinary person clocks in at work and then leaves to go somewhere else, isn't that called "theft"? Doesn't that person get fired. In Tennessee, The Tennessee Court of the Judiciary just thinks it deserves a "private" slap on the wrist.
