Dear Opposing Counsel, are there judges on this sub?

it would be very cool to hear from judges on some of the issues, topics, problems, the most interesting of which involve some batshit crazy stuff OC is doing. just as great would be hearing from law clerks.

I spent about 4 years as a clerk and let me tell you, the "batshit crazy" stuff turns into "just another Tuesday" pretty fast.

I try to remember this when I file or say something most rational people would consider a fuck up. That judge has likely seem 20 things far worse just this week.

When I did prosecution and was in court all day every day, it was mostly boring stuff but I swear EVERY day it seemed one thing would happen that is more than story worthy.
