Why are judges so ungrateful & hateful to us like we aren’t already fighting all the circumstances of this job, a rant!

I’ve had one or two judges who weren’t this way, so I know this is a generalization & sometimes there are judges with a soul left but as of lately, I seriously am going to day dream for weeks about how amazing it would be to just stop showing up to hearings & being such an officer of the court & then see how the judges feel.

A judge I practice in front of regularly yelled at me like a two year child in front of a courtroom full of people bc I advised him I would not be able to represent due to a direct conflict with the defendant, who is alleged of killing my other client, at an arraignment for the murder charge! Obviously huge conflict. But instead of appreciating that I was present to let the court know where it is at in the conflict process, instead I got yelled at and told it’s not the courts job to do my job. This is just one example in a list of ways the court treats me & my coworkers like we are idiots, without law degrees, even though we are continually doing everything we can to help our clients & the judicial system run smoothly.

Like, I get it, you’re a prosecutor in a robe now, but did you ever think maybe our job is already hard enough, stressful enough, without the one person who is supposed to be unbiased & impartial also treating us like we are convicted criminals making a circus argument, instead of actual sound arguments rooted in law & ethics!! But goodness gracious, don’t let me throw your day off & have to inconvenience you by resetting a hearing so that a client has proper representation & I don’t receive a valid bar complaint!!!!

I’m just tired of the system not just being ungrateful to us, bc I get that, they don’t understand how important we are to “justice” but rather intentionally going out of their way to be awful to us. That’s an entirely different thing.
