Question: Courtroom etiquette & ethics? Is it proper for a judge to allow one party to describe the event (untruthfully) and then not ask for the counter parties' description of the event? With even the counter party asking may I explain or may I tell you, is that enough for a judge to raise his temper & voice because he doesn't want to hear it? Even if facts are misconstrued? I always thought that both parties should have the ability to tell their sides of the story. Any opinions?

Answer: Judges are the rulers of their courtrooms. Also, the court usually hears one side at a time so the other lawyer should get a chance after the first has finished. If there has been some misfeasance on the part of the judge, the lawyer who was not given a chance to explain his client's side of the story can file to have this judge recused or for a change of venue. Even though your version of what went on is not a step-by-step chronology (a list of everything said and done in the order it was said or done.), this sounds like material for a toss on technicalities if something was done wrong and if it's appealed.

Question: Is standing for a Judge the law or just etiquette? Recently there was some news about a judge who threatened some activists by posting a sign outside the courtroom. It said that if they did not stand for the judge when he entered the courtroom they would be arrested. This doesn't seem legal. Is it the law to stand for the judge or simply etiquette?

Answer: Well in my state it is actually a law and if you do not stand in front of the judge he or she will throw you in jail for contempt of court..Basically the contempt of court is the law and many things follow under that category however if you look at the terms of that law it does not state any specific code of conduct one must have when seeing the judge.So basically what that law comes down to is anything the judge wants to do in his court room he can and will.

Question: Do judges allow for ignorance concerning courtroom etiquette? I was in court today for my custody case and I didn't know til halfway through (when my lawyer has time to tell me) that I should stand when the judge addresses me.

I was perfectly polite and only spoke when addressed otherwise.
