Former Judge James Burge of Lorain, OH; ethical ogre, convict

 

The state of Ohio presented James Michael Burge with a law license in 1975 after he graduated from Cleveland State University Law School.

 

FYI: Cleveland State University Law School is ranked as the 145th best law school in the country out of 200 ABA (American Bar Association) accredited law schools.

 

It should be noted that a prior story about Jimmy can be found by visiting the URL listed at the end of this article.

 

Previously, Jimmy received a complimentary 6-month suspension of his law license for engaging in a variety of misconduct, including being criminally convicted for failing to disclose he owned a building that he rented to attorneys who appeared before him in court. (John Kuntz, Cleveland Plain Dealer)

 

In an egregious example of Jimmy’s gross incompetence and misogyny, he acquitted a man charged with rape in 2012 because he believed the man had not penetrated the 14-year-old victim deep enough.

 

In December 2019, the comedians sitting on the Ohio Supreme Court voted to reinstate Jimmy’s law license. Apparently, they are of the opinion that Jimmy has a constitutional right to earn a dishonest living practicing his brand of law.

 

As we speak (ca. December 2019), Jimmy practices with Tomlinson & Burge LLC at 600 Broadway Avenue in Lorain, Ohio.
