I had the opposite version in my Property Law class. There was an aspect of property law they'd been teaching for twenty years... just in case it ever came up - however I was apparently in the last class who had to learn it because they'd never, in the entire history of the relevant statute...

It is amazingly common in all professions for the people who have succeeded in them for some period of time to start forgetting the basics, and things like safety, etc. I routinely get into fights with supervisors who are thrilled about people's metrics, and I am distinctly not thrilled about...

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong - his performance is terrible and if he ends up getting publicly censured by the judge it will entirely his own fault - my main point is that it is not him just signing things Justin drafts, it's more likely a combination of him being over confident, burned out...
