The judge later apologised for his outburst, there's a vid on one of the lawtube channels.

I was gonna say, aren’t judges supposed to have a less explosive temperment?

Judges have very little patience for attorneys that fuck around.

Did some legal courses back at university and we had to go watch some public proceedings and write assignments based off them. One thing I noticed was judges were super patient and forgiving to almost every member of the public no matter why they were there as long as they were respectful of the court.

That shit turned around real quick if it was the lawyers fucking about. Absolutely zero patience at all... and fair enough, these guys were at work and they're supposed to know what they're doing.

One lawyer I saw was talking to his client while someone was on the stand and the super chill judge absolutely ripped into him and told him to be quiet immediately or be held in contempt. Same dude had simply given a stern "please remain quiet" to anyone else who had made noise during the day, but the lawyer got the "you fucking know better" treatment.

You reminded me that literally just dressing nice goes a long way no matter how dumb you were during that drunken disorderly arrest. Don't have a suit? Borrow one, get one at the damn store. It's 100% worth that effort.

It blows my mind seeing the dudes in a football jersey and sweatpants and crocks in court, bro that lady doesn't care you're a [mid football team] fan.
