yea - freakin lawyers gotta put on the dog - but it really ain’t their fault but then again judges are lawyers🤔. I once went into a courtroom in Texas many years ago and had a nice western style suit on, cowboy boots, hat, and a cowboy bolo tie (member the Urban Cowboy craze?). I went up to plead my case and the judge stopped me dead in my tracks and his exact words were (I still remember em) “Son - did you somehow confuse my courtroom with Gilleys” (Gilleys was the largest honkytonk in the world till it burned down). Before I could come up with an answer (one of the few times I was ever speechless) the judge chimed in again and said “Get put and put a “real” tie on and get back in here before I find you in contempt, slap you in jail for 24 hours, and fine you $500 and don’t ever appear in my court again not dressed accordingly. Needless to say I went out in the hall and paid $50 for a $10 tie and hustled back in. You can wear an ugly, cheap, suit and tie but ya better wear one. Moral of story - cut lawyers some slack on the suit - some judges can be freakin crazy !!!😂😂
My brother is a lawyer for the state of XX. He's down to earth as you are. We don't talk shop much. When we get together we drink some beers and enjoy a cigar. One thing he did say was lawyers don't make the laws and they may not agree with the laws, but they are sworn to uphold those laws weather they agree or disagree. It's there job.
Perhaps the judicial branch needs to uphold the laws in place or the legislative branch needs to update/change some laws?
Are you sure you are not talking about "My cousin Vinny"?
