Fitzsimmons is an incompetent trial judge. She has poor insight into motivations of parties. She has permitted an injustice in a civil case, and apparently has little to no experience in civil matters.

Judge Underhill maintains 3 clerks, each hired for 2-year terms, so each hiring cycle he is hiring for either 1 or 2 spots. This fall he will be hiring for 2 spots.
