Karen Irby's mother retains Judy Barnett

See "Special Coverage" section on right side of page for collection of all posts on Karen Irby case.

Gaye Lang, the mother of Karen Irby, received permission from Hinds County Chancellor Singletary to file an amended complaint in her lawsuit against Stuart Irby. Ms. Lang seeks custody of Graham Irby, the five-year old son of Stuart and Karen Irby.

Ms. Lang also filed a notice with the court on October 7 stating Judy Barnett is currently representing her in the case.

Kingfish note: This just became a farce.

Geez, Ms. Lang is clearly not familiar with the Jackson legal community. Another lucky break for Stuart Irby...

Is Atty Judy Barnett also known as Ross Barnett's granddaughter, Judith Barnett?

"Geez, Ms. Lang is clearly not familiar with the Jackson legal community."

Very nicely put.

Yeah but... if the case goes before Little Judge Singletary, Judy is certain to get anything she wants.

You don't need luck when you have money.

If Stuart is well enough to make decisions about his minor child, he should be well enough to appear in court and tell the judge he is.

I thought Judy Barnett had mental problems??????

What happened to Featherston??? Like mother like daughter - can't stay with one atty very long??

I have seen Barnett drunk at Char so she doesn't represent herself very well.

I know Judy well. In my opinion, she is unstable. Her primary MO is to make outrageous charges and see if anything sticks.

By contrast, Richard Roberts is probably the best family law lawyer in the State. This fight was over before it began.

Judy Barnett will do anything to bury the opposing side -- not win her case, mind you, but DESTROY whatever parents and children might be on the other side of whatever courtroom she darkens. She doesn't take a millisecond to consider the long-term consequences of her actions on the children at the heart of her cases -- she ought to be held liable for the psychological damage she inflicts on those kids. I don't know a thing in the world about this Lang person but if she's going the Judy Barnett route, she's decided that punishing the Irby's is FAR more important than doing anything beneficial for her grandchild.

she is a pitiful excuse for a lawyer. 1:48 hit the nail on the head. i've seen her make an absolute fool of herself in open court and the judges just roll their eyes at her.

Wow. Lawyer bashing, anonymously of course.

DASiler said...

Yeah. Anonymous hating on an attorney, 9:08. Wow, consider the courage that takes!

I know Judy too. I'm yet to have a problem with her frankly. Do you really think she is the only attorney around here that a judge rolls his eyes at? Please. Even if she is guilty of whatever these anonymous posts are alluding to, it hardly makes her the worst lawyer in these parts. I mean really.


For an unstable, mentally ill public drunk, and all-around pitiful excuse for a lawyer, she sure has more business than she can handle, and get this, some of her clients even recommend her. I'm not an expert on Judy Barnett, don't claim to be and I'm not defending her. But to read post after post of snarky anonymous negativity about someone that I do know to be some better than that compels at the least a reminder that no one is without flaws and yes, even character defects. If your name pops up on a blog somewhere someday, perhaps you'll be so fortunate as to not be picked apart by anonymous cowards.

And to quote someone posthumously, "and thats the bottom f-in' line!.."

I'm not bothered by the anon, it is kinda interesting to get the low down on things not talked about in circles where many feel entitled to privacy but are willing to splay others without any regret.

What people say about Judy Barnett on the blog doesn't mean a darn thing other than the Irby fan club members have arrived once again to say as many ugly, negative things as they can about anything to do with Ms. Lang.

Actually, I was talking about attorneys in general. Your Karenite pom-poms must be getting in the way of reading posts.

well, i know judy and i can honestly say that she's "different".

i've seen her levitate in the courtroom while juggling oranges.

DASiler what is your full name?

I dont know her, but I can say that she did a great job recently in getting full custody for my brother in law, of his two daughters from their screwed-up mom who had originally been awarded custody a few years ago. BTW, that was in Rankin Cty, not in Judge Singletary's Hinds Cty court.

Ms. Lange may try to continue her legal battle to try and obtain custody of her grandchild, but I don't think she will succeed. He is in a place now which is very loving and stable, away from the chaos in Jackson.
I don't think a judge will remove him from his new environment.

She needs to let it go and move on.....I don't care who her attorney is. To me, it's selfish to try and get custody of him. Ms. Lange needs to get herself to Arkansas to visit and see him. All these lawsuits are doing is hurting Graham in the long run. It's sad that Mrs. Lange doesn't see that. It's making the rift so much bigger and in the end I'm afraid that Mrs. Lange is the one who will be sorry.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
