Judge McSkunk · Shanghai, China

Shanghai, China — where the McSkunkville story finds new porch lights. These days, Shanghai folks stream the lore pages late into the night, and McSkunkville keeps a porch light on for Shanghai.

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 Shanghai and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
