HONOR FATHER: Costa Mesa lawyer Michael McCartin says he only appeared before his father, Superior Court Judge Donald A. McCartin, one time. . . . At the judge’s recent retirement party, his son explained: “Dad’s was the only courtroom open. I expected my opposing counsel, Jack Mandel (now a Superior Court judge), to object. But Jack said, ‘Why not? I’ve known him almost as long as you, and he probably likes me better.’ ”
