Behavioral summary

In the cited rulings, Justice Boddie checked whether a problem was corrected and how litigation documents were handled. He protected a business facing actual disruption. Predicted losses did not justify relief, and a lawyer’s email did not replace the required waiver signed by an officer.

These are patterns across the cited decisions, not findings about a disposition toward either side or about any litigant’s character.

Observed patterns

Each pattern is labelled by how many distinct cases show it and footnoted to the ruling. Where the record limits a pattern, the limit stays with it.

He looked at whether lawyers corrected problems after notice

Recurring across three matters

Justice Boddie considered what happened after a problem was identified. Leaving it uncorrected and making the opponent do extra work differed from correcting it promptly. Criticism alone did not justify every penalty.

Preparation point

Show what was corrected and what extra work the problem caused.

How it played outSituation, action, outcome
The situation
A party challenged a misleading filing or failure to follow a direction.
What he did
He checked notice, the correction, and the work caused for the opponent.
What made a difference
Prompt correction and no shown use or harm weighed against contempt.
In his words1 quote

“without explanation or correction even after the issue was raised”

Hilpert v 16 Judge SPV LLC, printed p. 15. His written description of the false citations left uncorrected after notice.

In the cited cases3 rulings

Hilpert left false case citations uncorrected. The cost award covered only the resulting cross-motion.

VOCAL distinguished the uncorrected production chart from withdrawn citations the court had not relied on.

Crestview denied contempt after prompt disclosure of sealed responses. No use of them or harm to the opponent was shown.

He controlled how litigation documents were searched, shared, and handled

Recurring across three matters

Justice Boddie addressed how documents were searched for, who could see them, and where they were kept. Obtaining documents for litigation did not settle how they could be used afterward.

Preparation point

Identify what went wrong and the safeguard needed.

How it played outSituation, action, outcome
The situation
The dispute concerned searches, public access, or custody of restricted documents.
What he did
He ordered safeguards aimed at the particular problem.
What made a difference
Access for litigation did not permit unrestricted public sharing.
In his words1 quote

“not a license for unrestricted public dissemination”

Huebner v Elberg, printed p. 5. His written distinction between litigation access and public sharing.

In the cited cases3 rulings

VOCAL required details about document holders and searches, with a 14-day deadline and a consequence for noncompliance.

Huebner restricted public access to about 16,000 legal-file documents.

Crestview required the original envelopes for inspection and supervised shredding within ten days, even though contempt was denied.

How to read this profile

Judge AI reports what a judge said and did in cited decisions, and labels how far each observation reaches. It does not forecast outcomes, compute grant rates, or characterize temperament, motive, or bias, and a question from the bench is never reported as a ruling. It informs your judgment; it does not replace it.

How Judge AI is built
Observed conduct
A specific ruling, order, or statement in a cited decision.
Recurring across matters
The same narrow conduct in two or more distinct cited cases. Not a rate.
Repeated within one matter
Several instances inside one litigation. Never counted as corroboration.
Isolated
One cited ruling. Reported, never generalized into a trait.
