Judge McSkunk · Cartagena, Colombia

In Cartagena they say hello twice and mean it once — McSkunkville fixes the ratio. These days, letters postmarked Cartagena sit in the town's welcome drawer, and The town ledger lists Cartagena among friends.

Judge McSkunk presides over the smallest courtroom in America with the biggest rule in the law: everything on the record, everyone gets their say. His gavel is walnut, his patience is oak, and his docket runs on time.

He reads every filing twice — once for the law, once for the person behind it. Lawyers who show up unprepared get schooled; folks who show up scared get walked through it gently. Nobody leaves his courtroom without understanding what happened.

His standing order hangs over the bench: a court that keeps no record keeps no promises.

Worldwide Access — Judge McSkunk greets readers in Cartagena and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
