I've been in front of, I don't know how many judges over the years. With that in mind, here's my advice. It's a game, and you better know how to play it... Rule #1 Never miss a chance to keep your mouth shut...

[@jessicatyler5033]

It's funny how the person who swears to be impartial, and should be concerned with the laws, makes decisions based on how they FEEL about what a person wears.

[@tint6625]

No matter how he suppose to do his job and consciously he most likely would try to treat you as equal as he can , but dont forget judge is just human , they have emotion, and you dont want to make them subconsciously have bias towards you .

[@dermick]

@@tint6625 Exactly - accept the reality that all judges are humans with experiences, emotions, and biases.

[@sm5574]

It's more than that. If you're accused of breaking the law and you appear in court wearing an anti-law shirt, that speaks to the likelihood that you are, in fact, a law breaker. The judge may not use it as direct evidence against you, but it leans away from your favor.

[@Nolia3]

You sure as hell hit the nail on the head!

[@RJ-hm9gi]

Then motion for proper attire...there is a motion to not be tried in jail attire ..

[@peatmoss4415]

Listening to some of these comments explains why some of you belong in court. Something my drill sergeant said to all of us, was, the nail that sticks up gets pounded back down. The judge in court is the King. You can't outsmart them. #1 realize they can put you in jail for contempt in a second. Stand up straight, don't cross your arms or put you hands in your pockets. Say yes your honor lots of times.

[@Confessions089]

There's plenty of judges that have turned into criminals too. Court is not the fashion show. So I expect for the judge to act in his expertise.

[@healthythrivingfamily9820]

(1).Do not interrupt the judge. (2) Wear proper attire (3) Talking about your case when you shouldn't be

[@Bill-vo1wn]

I've lost all faith in the JUSTICE SYSTEM and media. WAKE up AMERICA 🇺🇸

[@FredHutcheson]

Yeah the Legal System is a very Bias overpriced Joke.. And if your a man going through it the minds have been made up before You walked in the door

[@jarrett2213]

The judge is human. Imperfect

[@alamedvav]

We need AI judges.

[@MPM6785ChitChat]

​@@alamedvav Both at the same time would be best

[@frv6610]

What if they program the AI judge to be evil

[@dadsapp]

​@alamedvav AI lacks the ability to temper judgment with grace and mercy, when appropriate. We'd all be imprisoned sooner or later if AI were in charge of justice. Ever seen a blue-screen of death? AI's are programmed by flawed men, so their judgment would also be just as imperfect...but it would remove the whim and caprice of petty judges who get butt hurt and lack control over their emotions and personal biases.

[@RhINoXX661]

Is it normal for a Judge to not care that your court appointed attorney didn't submit your evidence and tell you that your lawyer will speak for you to be quiet when asking your lawyer where the evidence is. This is not justice this is not fair. The claim that these judges are impartial and unbiased is complete bs.

[@TheLanceLawyers]

Judges, normally do their best to be fair. There are good judges and judges that need improvement. If you have an attorney, the judge will look to the attorney to speak for you. You may need to change attorneys if they are not performing well. Thanks for watching.

[@RhINoXX661]

Appreciate your help, thank you

[@dadsapp]

They'll let it happen if you allow it and don't speak up. On appeal they'll justify it as a "strategic decision"...I've seen it hundreds of times. You have just as much right to argue your case as an attorney does! REMEMBER: it's your neck on the line and nobody elses. If the judge denies you the opportunity to argue your case or to enter evidence they have committed reversible error. You are not a little child that must be led by the hand across a busy intersection. The attorney is there to assist you, not to be your replacement...speak up if they arent representing your interest vigorously.

[@goblingoblineus928]

I was representing myself, and a judge said, " A man that represents himself in court has a fool for a client". So after the trial I went down and filed a motion for a new trial and then I made a formal complaint about his bias behavior.

[@ladilondon1213]

And what was the outcome?

[@wecanonlywish9194]

It went nowhere.. You have to PROVE the actual bias, and a Judge aimply quoting an old adage..isn't going to cut it..

[@thedevilsadvocate5210]

Now every judge is going to have a bias against you

[@goblingoblineus928]

@@wecanonlywish9194 the judge didn't say any old adage about the prosecutor... No jokes about the difference between pitbulls and female prosecutors... That being female prosecutors wear lipstick... And Pitt pulls don't.... No what happened is the judge went into early retirement.

[@BillOtinger]

I used to Live in Lynwood worked for one year at Twin Rivers in Monroe

[@natemcclain5391]

And always tell them this is the peoples courtroom not yours. That’s a great idea to tell the judge. lol 😂

[@natemcclain5391]

Respect is earned not given in my opinion

[@dadsapp]

I'd have absolutely no problem reminding them of just that!

[@dadsapp]

The court belongs to the people...judges should remember, and perhaps be reminded, they are merely the current custodian charged with the fiduciary duty of discharging the judicial function. The court existed long before the judges great-great-grandfather drew his first breath, and the court will be here long after the bones of the judges great-great-grandchildren turn to powder. The halls of justice belong to society, not to petulant personalities in black robes who esteem themselves more highly they ought!

[@mckenzydukhedin581]

Yes you are very right they're very important people because they have a very big tasks in that court so iwould say that you have to be very respectful to them

[@dadsapp]

While I agree they serve an important role, don't place them on a pedestal...they put their underwear on one leg at a time just same as you do. They are just as fallible and every bit as prone to sin as you or I.

[@fornx8574]

bro said going to applebee's. i died.

[@RJ-hm9gi]

If asked in jail you were charged with criminal trespassing....you have a right to lie to another inmate... Never i repeat never divulge to another inmate your specific charges

[@mikegunthner7040]

Just got summon for jury duty, as a disabled with walker

[@fornx8574]

I am a citizen but don't vote. Never registered to vote. It is all a scam. Never once got called into jury duty as a result.

[@cesarioserrato5306]

There is a such thing as honor and dishonor in-law.Even if you don't like the judge because he's a judge you still have to show honor but not have to bow down like he's a king. In certain circumstances you are allowed to wear a hat but only if it's a dress hat.

[@anacorona6234]

Gracias

[@mclagett1043]

no points for honesty and taking accountability in court huh?

[@tooge47]

here's MY Top 3 1. NEVER tell her she should have READ the false affidavits PRIOR to signing my warrant; 2. NEVER tell a judge her EXCESSIVELY HIGH BOND is cruel and unusual punishment; 3. NEVER tell a judge she should not have waited till the LAST POSSIBLE MOMENT ALLOWED BY LAW TO SET MY BOND

[@cynthiacassel]

I wasn’t aware I was on trial. So that might not be relevant for me.

[@pissedoffamerican4869]

When they enforce codes,statutes, policy ect. under color of LAW ! THAT IS EXTORTION!!!!!!!!!!

[@thatguy8005]

I made the first mistakes and yes, the judge got mad

[@RhINoXX661]

Why is there a no contact order in my current civil case? I thought no contact orders were used in criminal cases?

[@TheLanceLawyers]

It depends on what type of civil case it is. In Washington State there are protection order civil cases that are all about orders.

[@RhINoXX661]

Ok that was kinda helpful, thanks

[@Livefreeordie-182]

U shoulda had him wear the shirt inside-out.

[@cherylkoski7184]

THIS WHY y'all need FEDERAL COURT

[@anthonytorres4725]

Are you sure about number 1? My ex cut the judge off and talked out of turn for almost an entire two hours. Oh! Am I the wrong gender. The judge ruled in her favor in family court even after she legit Caught lying under oath in the cross examination. I am in no way smart enough to make this up

[@joemunch58]

Consider not moving your hands so much around while addressing a court -- or anyone else.

[@chrishopkins1903]

Can i ask to see their license to practice law?

[@dadsapp]

You can always ask, but I dont think they actually get a card to carry around in their wallet that can be produced on demand. 😅

[@chrishopkins1903]

@@dadsapp soo why does everyone talk about a license to practice law when we cant see it or touch one lol. attorney represent dead people correct?

[@dadsapp]

Because the state Supreme Courts are the ones who fegulate the practice of law in each state. They control who is/is not authorized to practice law in their respective states. Beats me why they aren't issued a card or certificate like any other business would maintain. 🤷‍♂️

[@saraswatkin9226]
