LAWYER: 9 Things to NEVER Say to a Judge

I've seen people say some stupid stuff in court, and angering a judge is never a good idea. If you or a loved one has a date in court, be sure to take some notes and understand how *not* to act in front of a judge.

Clearly judicial retaliation is common. The basis of our freedom is the law but the law is a judge and how he or she feels. The public’s right to fair and honest treatment by the courts doesn’t exist does it.

[RenzorTheRed]

I hear a lot of circumstances where judges are offended. It's a shame to see proud, pompous judges who forget that they're public servants holding the responsibility to represent the law. They're not dukes in their courtroom kingdom.

What do you call a dishonest attorney ? Your Honor

[sawtoothdragoon]

I was neutral when it came to the justic system but the fact that a sentence can be influenced by the judges mood is atrocious. Screw all judges and the way court is handled

[samcarranza]

Of all the presentations I've watched on the YOUTUBE forum on this topic, this one makes my confidence in the judicial system sink to the lowest level.

[puddintame]

I've met a few judges and I haven't met one who I thought was wise, intelligent or a good person.

They're a parsec sized ego with unlimited power.

I HAVE NOTHING BUT CONTEMPT FOR THIS COURT

[american_woman]

As if I couldn't despise The (In)Justice System enough --- including ego-driven judges, prosecutors, and probation officers --- I now despise it all even more. Gross.

[roadsforman]

Judges need to leave their egos at the door. They are public servants not gods

[tonymoore]

Judges should be mature enough to leave their ego out of the courtroom.

[CriticalTechReviews]

It's absolutely disgusting how much of "justice" is based entirely upon FEELINGS. Being rude has nothing to do with your supposed guilt.

[BiblicalFlatEarth]

Judges CANNOT impose cruel and unreasonable punishment.

But they DO.

I love "With all due respect." Usually, when I say this, the respect due is zero.

[Danimal-D-Animal]

Judges feelings are far too delicate. I've been to jail for raising my voice in an argument. Judges do it all the time in court.

[ThatGuy-hckc]

That courtroom is not the judge’s courtroom it is the people’s courtroom

[CurlyWoof]

I appreciate these useful points. I like the way you punctuate the video with clips; they help me picture the stories happening and make them come alive.

[tomforsythe]

It's important to understand that a judge is half-politician and half-lawyer. That's not a combo that should inspire confidence. Handle them like stinging insects.

Sounds like judges need to remember that they're public servants.

I’m not too sure that Judge Judy and Judge Mathis are good examples, unless your point is that most judges have egos and like theatrics.
