The Judge Newman Story in Her Own Words

IPWatchdog Unleashed

This week we have a special guest—the Honorable Pauline Newman, Circuit Judge on the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

Judge Newman spoke at our annual Life Sciences program at IPWatchdog Studios on Tuesday, October 29. Her remarks were largely unscripted, although she did have some notes that she consulted from time to time during her nearly 45 minute presentation. Judge Newman told her story, and the story of the Federal Circuit, in her own words. So powerful were her comments that at least several in the audience were seen shedding a tear, and she received a hearty standing ovation.

Judge Newman is being wrongfully persecuted by her colleagues on the Federal Circuit. She has taken and passed with flying colors the three different mental evaluations she has submitted to, all conducted by different, highly regarded evaluators. And in addition to the final mental evaluation she was given a cutting edge CT scan of her brain, which showed no signs of cognitive decline, and in fact rather remarkably showed a healthy brain that looked to be the scan of someone in their 20s.

Faced with all the inaccurate statements in the complaint, which have never been correct despite their falsity, the Federal Circuit persists in excluding Judge Newman from hearing cases, which every day is becoming a more significant constitutional crisis.

So, against this backdrop we are pleased to present the Honorable Pauline Newman.
