That judge is sick of the pretentious attorneys acting like they know more than the judge. I'm sure he's thinking, "If you're such a great attorney, why am I the one in the robe?"

It varies quite a lot & really depends on what level of judge you're dealing with. Federal & state judges are the ones who will have the most experience as lawyers. When you get to individual county, city, or town judges, it can be someone older with years of experience and someone younger with less experience. It can also depend on whether it's criminal, civil, or traffic court. The justice system in the U.S. is very convoluted. Just like our federal government, it needs a complete overhaul.

A courtroom is certainly a tense environment. Think of all the pressure that accumulates in that room: from the judge carefully analyzing every statement and teams of lawyers ready to pounce on anything said that is even slightly inaccurate or worth objecting over, and court reporters frantically typing to ensure every word uttered is recorded exactly right. No wonder many entertaining conversations worthy of courtroom drama happen right here.

    You are not "paying her to raise your kids", you are paying to cover the kids' expenses while they are not at your house. Child support is not an employer-employee thing.

    Yep, we're raising our granddaughter (after our daughter passed). The son-in-law has no clue as to how expensive it is to raise the child -- does not buy her any clothing, does not factor in her special diets needs, nothing for transportation, blah, blah. But, claims our granddaughter for tax exemption. Really?

    Bored Panda reached out to the creator behind the Overheard Courthouse Instagram account who wanted to stay anonymous. “I started @attorney.memes in 2018 and while I was growing that account, I decided to start an account similar to the likes of @overheardla and @overheardnewyork that would detail all the unusual things that are heard in courtrooms,” the creator told us.

    At first, they started out posting transcripts of trials collected from various websites they found online. But as the account grew, “my followers began sending me transcripts from their own depositions/trials and unusual statements that they had personally heard so the account started to form its own identity,” the creator recounted.

Also read Hon. Judge Anne Katz' [Civil Court, NYC] opinion telling an att'y he was dressed "inappropriately", which was upheld by appeals court that lawyer/plaintiff Bank had failed to provide any explanation why dressing as he pleased in a courtroom was a “fundamental right.” Case dismissed.

    Why is it the people who always throw tantrums about their constitutional rights don’t understand what their rights are and how that works on a basic level? You have rights not to persecuted. That doesn’t mean a free for all. You don’t have a right to speak freely in my home, on my blog or wall or website or my business and you definitely don’t have that right in a courthouse or government building.

    Part of courtrooms being a perfect place for hilarious conversations to occur has to do with the fact that there is the clash between the etiquette that’s required in a courtroom vs. life outside the courtroom, the person who runs Overheard Courthouse argues.

    “Many people outside of the justice system aren’t aware that there’s a certain demeanor expected while in the presence of the court that differs from today’s social norms which tend to be more informal. When you put someone who’s not familiar with the etiquette that is expected in a courtroom, it makes for some hilarious moments,” they explained and added: “That’s especially true for individuals who opt not to hire a licensed attorney and decide to represent themselves.”

The submissions involving pro pers are some of the funniest ones because not only do you have someone who may not be familiar with courtroom etiquette, but they’re placing themselves in a position where they’re not trained or experienced to handle their case and all the complexities and nuances that may come with it, which leads to some hilarious moments,” they told Bored Panda.

    The person behind Overheard Courthouse said that they try to be as inclusive as possible when it comes to determining which submissions to post. “Oftentimes I get so many that it’s hard to keep up, but I do my best to get to as many as I can. I also think it’s important to not necessarily share just the funny ones. I think it’s important to share the ones that may be disheartening, heartwarming, and even contain offensive language because they’re all a part of the justice system and it’s important to be aware of what transpires in a courtroom that the general public may not otherwise be aware of. I think these ones are the most memorable ones because although they may not be entertaining, they’re certainly eye-opening.”

    “One of the funnier and more memorable ones,” the author said, “is an audio recording of a United States Supreme Court case where oral arguments were being made virtually due to the pandemic and a toilet can be heard being flushed in the background while one of the attorneys is making his oral argument.” They added: “The thought of a Supreme Court Justice flushing their toilet while an attorney is making his argument to the highest court of the United States is uniquely hilarious and memorable.”

    This exact thing happened to our son. Warrant was issued for non payment of traffic ticket. He had paid and had the receipt, but the cop that came to the house to serve the warrant would not let him get the receipt... said it didn't matter. Handcuffed and taken to jail because someone forgot to stamp his paperwork "Paid in full". We had to post bail to get him out of jail that night. In court the next day, the judge apologized and recommended that we sue the police department and city. We didn't, but the judge did make the clerks office post an article in the newspaper apologizing for the mistake. Side note...on the way to jail, the cop looked at my son in the mirror and said, "You're dad is really upset, isn't he"? To which my son replied, "You have no idea how mad he is, but you'll find out soon enough." BTW, my son was on the Dean's list in college at the time, a straight A student.

    My sister's just had her license suspended because the city she lives in claimed she didn't pay her registration. She got picked up for suspended tags and license and I bailed her out. She had the receipt from city hall, the current registration and her bank records. Turns out EVERY registration done the day she registered her car went missing because the packet to be mailed to the states records that day wound up at the wrong offices.

    Not strictly illegal but unethical. Yes, with a decent new lawyer for the defense, a mistrial is possible ( won't go into technicalities), but the defense attorney who screwed up could face ethical charges before the bar, potentially resulting in their license to practice law being suspended or revoked, but more than likely they'd be sanctioned.

    According to the author of Overheard Courthouse, the large majority of the account’s followers work in the legal profession and likely have some degree of experience working in a courtroom such as court reporters and trial attorneys. “Most of my submissions are from court reporters and attorneys who understandably wish to remain anonymous. Most of the feedback I’ve received is positive because my followers can relate to the content.”

    Moreover, the author said that they have received some feedback from several followers questioning whether the statements overheard are authentic and have expressed skepticism. “When I receive a submission, I’ll sometimes ask for additional context regarding the statements that were overheard and where they occurred. Ultimately, I’d like to believe most of the submissions are genuine because they’re coming from legal professionals who are expected to be ethical and maintain a degree of integrity,” they said.

    When asked about the future plans of the account, the person behind Overheard Courthouse said that for now, they plan on keeping the account going as it is and post as many submissions as possible. “In the past, I’ve highlighted unusual events experienced by my followers during virtual court as a result of the pandemic. I may do similar highlights in the future where there’s a focus on a unique situation.”

    “I just want to add that I'm very grateful to everyone who has made and continues to make submissions to the account. I’m simply administering the account and its success is made possible through a collective effort. By contrast, @attorney.memes is a lot more laborious since I produce the content myself. I’m able to run both accounts thanks to my followers who make submissions to @overheardcourthouse,” the creator concluded.

    I had never met my best friend's soon to be ex. They had been separated for 10 years, but when they filed for divorce, they both had to appear. My friend is visually impaired, but she has limited tunnel vision. Her soon to be ex looked like he had crawled out of a sewer and smelled like it, too. He has a job, lives with his mom, but decided that drinking was better than being sober. but back to the court situation. He was given paperwork that listed what was appropriate to wear, and most importantly, it stated in capitol letters, that if he did not comply, he would be charged with contempt of court. Our worst fears were confirmed, and to add to the stench, he is a religious zealot, and began preaching to everyone waiting. I told him to shut the f**k up, my friend is sobbing, because she is afraid that she won't get her divorce that day, etc. They got called, and only because the judge felt sorry for my friend did he grant the divorce, and kicked the slimeball out.

    According to Joanne Willey, the founder of Cook & Wiley: Court Reporters for the Virginia Legal Community, no matter how much experience one may have in this type of setting, at the end of the day, we are all simply human.

    “Slips of the tongue can and do occur in the courtroom just as they do everywhere else. Sometimes the end result is embarrassing, silly, or just plain confusing, but no matter what, it sure is entertaining! Most of the examples below come from books and websites dedicated to funny statements recorded in courtrooms,” she argues.

    near me, last summer, a baby died when its father left it in a closed car while he went into a police station to demand his guns back, and i believe he had an outstanding warrant. people should be required to pass a gauntlet of tests before having a child.

    Well, someone's going to need a continuance, since he's going to be processed for child endangerment. I hope they broke his window to get the child out of his car, and insurance refused to cover it.

    How is it possible that some people year after year, reminder in speach, text and article after article that screams “DANGER! DON’T DO THAT!” STILL leave both animals and children unattended in cars no matter what weather or situations! Cold isn’t better than heat depending on time and a car thief doesn’t necessarily care s**t about who is still in the car when stealing it!!!

    Hold on now with this one. Even banks and other financial institutions were prohibited from taking stimulus funds and applying them to pass due loans or charge offs. The law strictly prohibited garnishment of stimulus funds. Also, the funds were for this exact reason. F that heartless prosecutor.

    Tragic but true: I once saw a report in Africa during the aids epidemic, where they taught people how to put on a condom by demonstrating it with a broom handle. Surprisingly, the infections didn't go down in the proceeding months. It turned out people just put a condom on a broom stick and proceeded.

    Every woman on the planet~~since they made raincoats~~heard this b.s. line from an irresponsible, egotistical guy who's too lazy & cheap to put on a condom. [Does he know how rubber entering a woman feels? No, 'cuz it's all about HIM.] Then he refuses to pay child support, leaves the state or changes his job. I even know guy who've changed their NAMES so a process server can't find them w/a different name. Just wear a condom, boys~~they're free at any clinic.

    This was my boss. Followed by an indefensible collection of unfortunate admissible words. Yes, guilty they were. Despite being given advice, my boss had to utter several sentences that left the court deafeningly silent. The admission of guilt included using a bucket, shovel, and occasional "mini shower hose" following heavy drinking and drug use. Yeah, like p*ssing, sh*ting, AND ON OCCASION VOMITING (rarely, apparently) BUT NEVER ON THE GOOD CARPET/IN THE GOOD ROOM was something the judge had to hear.

    Most lawyers are far from rich. They have very high expenses associated with keeping their practices running, licenses active, protection from malpractice, and the list goes on. Some lawyers are rich, but that takes years of work. They work long hours for people who constantly complain and the general public thinks they are all snakes, except when they need a lawyer to help them. Also, ethics and morality are not the same thing. It's good you showed up to voice your opinion though.

    I have seen all the comments about the wife not going to happy about this, which she wouldn't in most cases. But has the thought of them all being Poly come across your minds, they all might know and be fine with each relationsship.

    He may not be able to read or write very well. I'm the de facto form filler for a few members of my family. Some of them simply can't read complicated forms. My sister can read books just fine but she has trouble with forms. It's likely not coddling; probabley poor and didn't have access to proper education and/or mental health assistance.

    So I just recently did a Mock Trial and learned some stuff about Hearsay. Hearsay is when the witness testifies with something that they heard second-hand, basically someone told them what someone else said. If they heard or were apart of the interaction directly, then it is not qualified as hearsay. Depending on the context of this objection, the witness's refute is valid.

    I'm pretty sure the Witness is correct on this one. If the witness heard it directly, then it is NOT hearsay, it's direct testimony. Hearsay is if they heard it from a third party.

Defendant has no hope of more probation/parole. He should get locked up just for being stupid & insubordinate [this is not mom's or teacher's rules...these are rules that if you don't follow, you get to stay in the same loud room 23 hrs a day, 365...eating c**p food~~when THEY feel like feeding u & waking up when THEY feel like waking you up [& getting only the # of blankets THEY want to give you]...& bathing when THEY say you can wash off your sweat.

    Bad (either just morally or also skill) defense lawyer, who bullied their client into accept a plea deal even though they were innocent, plus a prosecution that didn't do enough ground work. Frankly I don't like the idea of plea deals and lighter fines and sentences for admitting guilt, too much room to force the innocent into confessing to crimes they didn't commit because they lack the education and funds to put up a case.

    Humdrum is delusional. You can't pull the "hardly any1" c**p & pretend it's fact. You give no stats but are probably counting inmates awaiting trial~~that's over 50% in some states. But the majority of them [85%] are convicted after a trial. U.S. justice system needs improvements but few people care about thugs who commit crimes~~especially if you've been a victim. Criminals are the lowest of the low in any society.

    Alito is a supreme court justice and this really happened last year. He's the one who drafted the secret decision to overturn Roe v Wade on the premise that a literal witch hunter (as in burned women alive because he thought they were witches) didn't approve of abortions. He's an insidious POS and deserves to be yeeted into the sun.

    Depends. Does the centaur have human lungs or horse lungs? There was a great YT video where they debate what the biology of a centaur would be, were it real. They get into how quickly and how much blood has to pump, lung capacity, where organs are stored, everything. Started out as a silly question but they ran with it.

    And Ted Cruz says that the VERY peaceful protestors at Alitos house, actually, they are across the street, are going to be dangerous, not like the Jan.6 insurrectionists. He originally said those storming the Capitol were terrorists. He is an idiot of the first order. I mean this cretin blamed his children when he took his family to Mexico when his home state of Texas was in the throes of a killer winter storm.

    While the defendant in this case is probably lying about the multiple illness bouts (give her the benefit of the doubt she was genuinely sick for one instance), it it completely possible to catch the virus more than once. My best friend's mum has had it twice four months apart - she works front desk in a care home, it's a small wonder she's only had it twice to be honest.

    It doesn't matter if the divorce was amicable or not, the appearance of a conflict of interest is sufficient to declare a mistrial. Better to just send the case to a different judge.

    3 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    The attorney was fine with it because it gives him a second chance should the trial not go his way. He’s not obligated to ask for a recusal but if the judgement wasn’t in his favor he’d petition for a mistrial and likely succeed.
