His manner with appellate judges is almost like peer to peer rather than barrister to judge. Judges talk to him as if he is on the same level as them, even in the Supreme Court.

Andrew was so impressive in how he dealt with the judge. He was very clear when the legal issues were extraordinarily complex; he distilled the issues in a way that made sure the client was engaged.
