He is either lacking a deep understanding of the law, or age has weakened his facilities. He appears to be very impressed by, and oriented toward helping large organizations, such as large corporations, and wealthy economic groups. This is, of course, an opinion, and others may differ in their estimation of this judge.

As a law student I studied asylum law in Mexico in a course taught by the judge. I found him to be a person of great humanity and wisdom.

Judge Alarcon I hold in the highest esteem for his guidance , intellect and dicipline. He was the stepfather of a close childhood friend many years ago. His words of wisdom and impeccable manners I remember being captivated by. My very best to you Judge Alarcon.
