What matters is what's true, not what you wear to work.

You'd make an outstanding lawyer. :roll:

No I wouldn't; I believe that justice supersedes law. I also don't respect positions, just the people in them if they're deserving. *shrug* Doesn't bother me a bit since based on my personal ideology I'm a much better person than most lawyers I've met.

Well, it's a good thing most of us have matured beyond that line of thought.

Personally I wouldn't say you benefit in any way from it, but that's just me.

The way I understand it, these court TV shows have a set budget for each case that is distributed by the judge via his/her ruling. Thus, if the judge rules in favor of the plaintiff for $500, the plaintiff receives $500 of the case's "purse," with the remainder being divided evenly among the plaintiff and defendant (thereby providing incentive for people to come on the show). The two parties also agree not to try the case in an actual court of law.

Or something like that.

As far as I know, though, the judges on the shows are, or at least were, all judges at some point in their careers.

"At the end of each show, the following disclaimer appears:

"Both the plaintiff and the defendant have been paid from a fund for their appearance. The amount, if any, awarded in the case, is deducted from this fund, and the remainder is divided equally between both litigants. The amount of the fund is dependent on the size of the judgement." [sic] No information is given as to what relation the amount of the fund bears to the size of the judgment, nor the amount of the fund if a verdict for the defense is rendered."

Not really ownage. I kinda doubt this is real. For one thing, the judge went off on a real tangent, that in itself is highly disrespectful to the court members and unprofessional to the highest degree. When you're in office as a judicial member, I don't think you have any more right to snap back at someone with that kind of emotional or professional angst response.

It's just TV drama and if it is real, both parties embarrassed the shit out of themselves and both need to remove themselves from any sort of civil office.

As I said in my post, I don't think that the show itself is a true legal environment. However, in my experiences in courtrooms, I've heard judges say things similar to what was in the clip...albeit in a slightly less-animated manner.

Both parties sign papers designating the judge as a legal arbitrator and that they will abide by the ruling. It's about as close to a judge as you can get. The judge is bound by the laws of the state they make the show in however.
