robe-itis
n.— «Dan Doyle, a Republican who serves as special counsel to Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks, impressed us with his legal thinking and his desire to make the system work better. He has the makings of a good, fair-minded judge who would resist judicial comeuppance or “robe-itis,” as he calls it.» —“State Supreme Court: Frazee, Kehoe, Lindley” Democrat and Chronicle (Rochester, New York) Oct. 25, 2006.
