But rather as court-appointed guardian for the incapacitated.

The message: Don't live in the Bronx if you value your money.

For years, judges have steered lucrative jobs--like overseeing estates of people who die without wills--to politically connected lawyers. With election reforms and a crackdown on lobbying (however successful that's been), the courts have been the final frontier of old school favor trading. Lately, judicial reform has been focused on the system of electing judges, a push started mainly in Brooklyn.

If a politically connected guy like Stanley can't feed at the judicial trough, what's next? --Azi Paybarah]]> http://www.observer.com/node/28717#comments Politics Brooklyn Stanley Schlein The Bronx Tue, 28 Feb 2006 12:24:28 -0500 Observer Staff 28717 at http://www.observer.com Frustration at Puck http://www.observer.com/node/27653
Freddy gave a strong speech last night, more coherent and more passionate than Anthony's. He did sound like he'd won something.

But the real result at the Puck Building -- 39.9% makes Freddy something like the Job of city politics; perhaps boils are next -- was visible on the faces of Ferrer's close aides.

As the speech would up, advisor Roberto Ramirez and Ferrer's campaign lawyer, Stanley Schlein, stood by a curtain on the East Side of the room. As Freddy concluded with the words "God bless New York," Schlein exhaled glumly and Ramirez, in a gesture of pure frustration, smacked his palm into his forehead.
