If he's already forcing one of the lawyers to write an essay on professionalism and things haven't even ramped up yet for trial, I'm guessing this case is full of sh*tty people and we're going to witness one heck of a clown show once the proceedings are in full swing.
@@purplpen "Part of the clown show includes the clown in the black robe." Looks like the essay-writing lawyer's chosen to speak up. God forbid the judge hold people to a reasonable standard. 🙄
What’s insane is you think it’s insane to argue with a Judge that’s a human being just like you. Funny how as a society we bow down to “authority figures”
This guy was found in contempt of the court and all he had to do was pay an insignificant fine and spend 15 minutes buying cheap lunch. This was not an abuse of authority at all. If the judge was going for jail time without a reasonable alternative that’s different.
I practice in CA and a judge told me that I was out of order and told me to shut my mouth. I thought he was wrong so you know what I said? "Will do, your honor" and I kept my damn mouth shut. The case settled that day and I was able to go home to the family and enjoy my night. Never argue with a judge. You will always lose.
Years ago, one of my students had to write a six page paper (using all lines front and back) because he started a fire in the school restroom. I was his English teacher and special ed case manager. This kid hated writing with a passion and stayed after school with me for an hour everyday for weeks writing that paper. He was in misery everyday (I was in misery, too). He kept saying, " Why didn't they put me in jail? This is horrible." I would say keep writing and gave him ideas about what to write about fire safety. I told the fire marshal that the judge chose the perfect punishment. I told the student that if he got in trouble with the law again that he would have to write a 12 page for me. He was a perfect student for the rest of the year.
Great story! Who decided on that punishment? I love seeing effective discipline that doesn’t ruin kid’s lives the way something like an arson conviction would!
@@Itscjamesm The judge decided the punishment. I (with permission from his parents) was the one who made him stay after school until the paper was finished. I knew he wouldn't do it on his own .
My brother made the basketball coach mad and his buddy was my brothers english teacher who said he had to write an essay on basketball and he wrote I hate basketball 100s of times and dropped out of school.
I served on a jury a month ago here in Canada and we were given 100 dollars a day. I was hoping the trial would last longer because that's more than I make at work each day!
That is not bad! I'm Canadian and was a juror in the late 90s and we only got $16 per day! Even then it was very little money. Nice to hear it went up. They probably had more jurors refusing to go.
I work for the Federal Govt and my coworker told me he had jury duty on Monday. He wasn't quite complaining just grumbling a little. I said, "Better us than other people. We get paid our normal wages, and some people don't. I'd rather it be me than someone who's going to lose pay." He told me he never thought about it that way. Afterwards he was more willing to go. So, I'd be down for a 9 month trial.
That's why they have so much trouble finding jurors in this case. If the money the government gives the jurors doesn't equal a salary on which people can live on, who can afford to spend a minimum of nine months sitting on the jury box for this trial? How many companies are going to keep somebody's position waiting for them after such a long time? No wonder they have so much trouble finding jurors for this trial. Unless you are a trust fund baby who doesn't work or study, completely retired citizen or a civil servant who gets compensated anyway, you won't have the money to support yourself.
There was lady at the beginning of the Parkland trial that she said that she had a sugar daddy, so that she had to pay attention to him. That was her reason to request to be granted leave from jury duty. The jurdge accepted that and excused her. This lady was even interviewed by at least one local news channel, on which she repeated that her sugar daddy would stop paying her rent and bills if she was not available.
Its a part of being an American to have complete willingness to serve on a jury. I was picked a dumb case A poor homeless guy stole quarters out of a A vending machine They asked if anyone had preconceived notions on alcoholics I said yes, my oldest sis died of Alcoholism OD Vodka It was so traumatic the entire 30 years of her drinking Then dying I was asked under oath So they excused me The defense
Ikr???? I was shouting 'Just say YES I will do it today". The dumbing down of America on full display. It's freaking sandwiches!! What a hill to die on!!
That judge is creative! He doesn’t just have to write a publishable 10-page academic paper on “Why I Shouldn’t Have Mouthed Off in Court” he has to send it to legal journals!
I have been called 3 times in my life so far for jury duty. I am now 60 years old. The second time I was called I was actually picked and ended up even being jury foreman. I was proud to do that and even to this day I am proud I was able to do that. I was a stay at home mom and as my children got older I wished that I could volunteer for jury duty as I did not have a job I had to be at so it caused no hardship for me to attend. Unfortunately you can't ask to do this. But this young juror should have taken her opportunity seriously enough to pay attention when the judge was speaking, especially to the jurors!! 3 days in jail should make her more attentive in the future.
@@Balingy You can be stern without being an asshole lol. Being stern isnt abuse. The judge hurt your feelings while be effective as well as not being hostile come on now. dont be so soft.
I never grounded a kid. They learn nothing from it. My kids wrote me essays containing what they did, why, and what would have been a better choice. I would proof it and they would rewrite it. Once I was happy with it the situation was over. Granted, I was blessed with well behaved kids. We aren’t talking drugs and stealing here but they had to think about whatever was stepping over the line. I produced wicked strong writers! I’d do it exactly the same today.
That woman was lying. It's pathetic that she acts like a teenager caught and making up a rediculous lie. If she thinks anyone believes that "everybody was talking" while the judge was addressing the rules to the jury, she's crazy.
The judge would have definitely remembered if everyone had been talking while he was speaking and giving instructions. He should have pointed that out. This girl got off light if you think about it. She’s damn lucky
It's the current generation. (Not everybody, but a majority). Hardly told no, hardly held accountable. I see more and more "adults" acting like children and acting on their emotions instead of logic. Critical thinking, forethought, and common sense aren't as common as it used to be
I fkn love that first judge!! One of the best discipline methods I ever learned, that worked like magic for our son, who came from the foster system was PAPERWORK. When he violated someone safety at school or home he was immediately grounded no privileges (like phone) and given a worksheet we were willing to check once per day. The questions were 1. What happened, do not blame-shift. You better Star in the story. 2. Who was affected. 3. What do you need to do about it? 4. What would you do differently. Then it got signed and dated and filed in my binder of shame. All of his violent and aggressive behaviors eventually stopped he hated doing it so much. It was awesome. Made him do all the work to get out of trouble, improved his writing skills and now I have a binder of some bull💩 we can laugh about now.
@@wutang5795 why would I give af about that? I was never going to tolerate physical aggression in my home. Everyone’s safety matters. He might’ve had some angry fee fees at the time but he’s better off for having learned self control while he lived here. Now he’s 18, working and supporting himself. Seems happy with himself when he comes over for dinner.
The judge said "if you're gonna act like a child, I'm gonna treat you like one. I expect your essay on my desk by 12pm on April 28th, no extensions." 🥴
Me too. Bruce, Michael and the other is for monthly subscription boxes...(Subscription Sisters) and I watch on about chipmunks...Choo Choo Story. I'm eclectic at best. But I really love Mr. Rivers and his son Michael. This video in of itself is prime. I learn something every day...and all about esign. This is certainly lesson in life and how scary it is out there.
This is great. Some people think a fine is no big deal so they do whatever they want. Sometimes you have to be creative in order for someone to actually get it.
Reminds me of a clip I saw a while back. (paraphrasing) Judge: That's $100 fine for contempt Defendant: Worth it. Judge: Make it $200 Defendant: Not worth it anymore
Was a juror in a criminal case, that changed my life in many ways and appreciate our courts so much more than ever. It was very stressful and it was really hard even having just one person who didn't pay attention or not follow directions well. She knew what she was doing and she didn't care about anyone but herself.
I’ve seen judges excuse bad behavior many times, it’s really refreshing to see one actually follow through on correcting it. When they don’t it kind of makes a joke out of their courtroom.
Bruce, your words ring really fucking true. I had a shit day at work today and was veeerrryyy vocal about it, and I was lucky that my boss didn't hear it. Keeping your mouth shut when you're heated is a skill I need to practice.
I was lucky enough to grow up watching my parents let their mouths regularly get them in trouble. Taught me a really good lesson in "the pen is mightier than the sword" very early on, that I'm rather grateful for.
No, keep that loud mouth running! Watching people let their mouth get them into all sorts of trouble is great entertainment for people like me… It’s just a fascinating and hilarious trait that is wild to us.
This reminds me so much of having to write 100 sentences in the 3rd grade.😂 I hated it. Was usually something like, “I will not talk in class.” Times 100.
We had to do that too except they never told us what size the sentences had to be. We wrote them so physically small, you couldn't even read what it said. The teachers just loved it when we did stuff like that, just to spite them. Lol
I went to Catholic school. If you got in trouble they gave you a bible, told you to open a random page, and start writing everything on separate paper word for word til the teacher was satisfied.
Unless you get caught, since the judge EXPLICITLY said he had to be the one to right it. Then you’ll probably get the full punishment AND you made an enemy of a judge you probably have to argue before again… In the words of Iron Man “not a great plan”
@@thetrashcanman7537 plagiarism checkers are getting decent at catching essays written using language models. They have a distinctive pattern that they can pick up on. Anything that hits as over 30% AI, they typically require you to show proof that you did the work. However, if he just pays someone to write it, idk how they would catch that.
It's not that easy to fire an attorney, especially at this point in the proceedings because the judge has to approve it and mist judge's wont at this stage in the proceedings
I was a juror on a murder trial about ten years ago. One of the other jurors said several times to me that he was so angry at being picked that he was going to try and screw the trial up. Apparently, he said this to another juror, too . I reported him to the jury foreman in private and he was removed. Not sure what happened to him, but it was pretty outrageous that he thought he could screw up the trial simply because he didn't want to be there, not to mention creating a potential mistrial with no justice for the victim's family. To this day, I'm not sure why he was even chosen as a juror because he was clearly irritated at having to be there.
@@user-bw7oe7gf9p He was reported to the judge so my guess is the judge wasn't pleased. Pretty stupid way to get out of jury duty, but you're not wrong 😆
I know personally...being a full time mom, having to do an effing 20-page paper (due every week) for grad school, APA formated, cited sources, 100% coherent with NO plagiarism...I mean, damn! I feel his pain. I would have loved to throw money at it! 😂
I love how measured you are, Bruce, with everything you reflect over. I have just turned 50, and I remember flying off the handle. Not knowing when to shut up or stopping to think before acting. However, thank god with age, I now feel much more measured. I really think before I speak. Know when to speak and resonate with everything you're talking about. Learning a lot about people, behaviour & the law system with all your great content 👍
This review is great! Love, love, love it. Civility is being threatened in so many places. Good to have an explanation of civility in court. I would love to read the report the attorney wrote. I remember learning to think, “is this the hill I want to die on?” I find I have less and less hills and have the response I want when it is.
This judge truly understands what Justice is. I have deep respect for how he handles every one of these matters. As an aspiring attorney, it gives me hope.
Best of luck to you, and keep in mind that there will be days when it feels like it's hopeless. That's pretty much guaranteed to happen, and it's just part of the job. When those days come, take a deep breath, pour yourself a stiff drink, and say out loud, "This too shall pass."
@@rivercitymud it’s all good. I just meant it’s nice to see a judge who uses their discretion in a positive way to help people realize their mistake instead of throwing them in a cage. It’s a better way of dealing with small matters in my opinion.
That's really cool, that the Judge made you pay your fine to a charity of your choice. I think that's a very classy move, and I bet you weren't late again, probably to avoid "getting sideways" with the judge!
Yeah it was a no win situation to be honest because he probably would've been reprimanded if he had to interrupt the sentencing Judge to make a phone call to the other one. It takes about ten to fifteen minutes to get out of one courthouse, walk to the next courthouse, go through security, and find the courtroom you are supposed to go to next so his original case was probably wrapped up in time it just took time to get to the next courthouse. Not waiting ten minutes to start the case then locking the attorney out of the courtroom isn't very cool.
The Chief Judge in our Federal District Court, allows no using of cell phones in his court. There are several notifications outside and inside the courtroom. He also has a rather large fish tank in his chambers. If anyone’s cellphone is exposed or makes any noise during session, he asks the bailiff to confiscate it, and drop it in the fish tank. Everyone in the building is very aware of the wreckage of cellphones at the bottom of his tank.

Judge Glanville is a former US Army attorney and he does not put up with BS from anyone in his court room. I live in Atlanta and this is not the first time he has “gotten someone told” as we say down here! 😂
I worked for an attorney’s office for quite a few years and one of the first things they told me when I was hired was to be very careful how I spoke to judges’ offices. I was a legal assistant so I dealt with secretaries for judges all the time; some of them (the secretaries) thought they were hot sh*t because they knew we couldn’t really give them a hard time when they didn’t do things they were supposed to do. I had a really difficult one in Miami- I think I did lose my cool with her once. But, yeah, you don’t piss off judges. They have the power to make your life miserable.
What kind of dumbo walks in to a court of law .. as a jury member and records the trial 😳😳😳😳😳you cannot even have your mobile turned on in court .. some people are just dumb
In Santa Barbara County the jury pool was given the jury conduct instructions on the first day we were summoned. Before the selection process even started.
Enjoy your eSign scenarios! Your comments crack me up. And yes, your legal education is a plus. Not expecting to ever be on a jury, my newly retired RN attitude is just too opinionated ;) My new interest is law. Please continue the great content.
“It’s the only time your government really asks anything of you” He says on taxes due day 😂😂😂 I love your channel thank you for the amazingly produced and incredibly informative content!
You know, from the title I thought the video was going to be one of those recordings where a judge comes down too hard and stops being professional. Instead, I actually really like this judge's rulings. It's clear he's not being as punitive as he could be, but at the same time it's court, it's serious, and as the official responsible he's going to enforce basic rules and civility. Didn't think I'd watch the whole video but I did and enjoyed it quite a bit.
I found this absolutely fascinating and yet still yearning for more! I feel like he only scratched the surface, I'll definitely start watching his pod casts & channel.
I live in CA and I used to have really flexible work hours, so I would go watch trials and hearings at the OC Courthouse. You see some crazy ass stuff, and it’s free. I usually paid $6 for parking and brought my own lunch to eat in the cafeteria, so a cheap day. I met all kinds of cool people, reporters, detectives, guys like Bruce. Got stared down by a serial killer, too. Andrew Uridales.
The lawyer throwing a tantrum over having to buy lunch for his colleagues...bro...would you rather be in jail, or writing a term paper like the other lawyer...
He might actually not have a lot of money if he’s a new lawyer. I remember being a baby lawyer and praying for legal aid to send me money I’d billed 8 weeks earlier so I could pay my bills. Thank goodness those days are over for me. He honestly might not have the money though.
@@momof1576 This might be true, but I am sure he could have plead hardship to the judge. I would have offered to make lunch for the other team. Turned up at their conference room, done some glad handling. Given them a gift of wine, if that's allowed. But then, I aren't the kind of person who would be unprofessional in the first place.
I LOVE this channel! Breath of fresh air in highlighting the honesty, integrity and ethical responsibilities of professionals AND citizens. One of my best friends is a retired legal aid criminal attorney. Same sense of humor as Bruce (Irish) with intense passion, conviction and respect for our legal process, and humanity.
Love how you explain and educate people in terms they can understand re how the courts operate all the do's and don't s and Why things are done the way they are done. Thanks to you.
All of them were tbh. They all seem like a bunch of children throwing tantrums. NOt just that women. Idk how they got any certification with attitude like that.
No she was right. The assumption was that she livestreamed the proceedings (or so was reported to the judge) She had to correct that by saying she didn't do that (the livestream) but she accepted she recorded.
I just found your channel and am enjoying your comments. Chief Judge Glanville is a retired Army Brigadier General and he seems to bring “rules are to be followed” to his courtroom just as is required in the Army. This was very interesting. Thank you.
Your sense of humor is great Bruce. Those 2 attorneys should have sucked it up and bucked it up. Do what is asked of you by the judge without question or argument. Unless the judge is barking at an imaginary friend, do what he says!😊😂
This reminds me of a time that I was told to go to a lesson in road safety after the Police caught me speeding. By coincidence a student of mine was in the same class. We were all told that everything that went on in the class was confidential. But the moment the student recognised me, she pulled out her phone and started texting her friends!
I'm gonna play devil's advocate here : did all the people taking he class sign a NDA/confidentiality agreement? Or was that agreement between the student (individual) and the school? Second option, the students do not have the responsibility of confidentiality towards each other. I have never done such a class. So i would be interested to hear more about it :)
You were not giving a good example, my friend. My sense of humour is telling me that probably you have given your students tens of speeches saying that they need to behave a certain way or else, so if you are not following your own admonitions... Probably, I wouldn't dare to do it right there and then--I would wait until I got to the loo or on my way home, but there is no way in hell I would have kept something like that confidential. No way. The first second I can, the whole school would know, and I would make sure that the whole school knows. I am curious about you doing something about it. Did you call anybody's attention to it? From a former teacher: with great power comes great responsibility.
@@Tymbus Yeah, I agree. But something that life has taught me once and again is that sometimes life can come back and bite you in your ass. It has bitten me more than once. I am a former teacher, and I thought that it was funny.
@@jt5426 It is a "class" run by the civil courts. It takes a day. Attending stops you having points on your liscence which would raise the cost of car insurance. I recall we all verbally agree that anything that is said will remain confidential. The class helps you learn or relearn aspects of The highway Code in the uk. I've taken three in my 35 years of driving. As a lecturer, I find learning interesting.
This judge seems very thoughtful and upstanding in the way he's dealing with adults who are supposed to know better, do better and project better behavior.
this was one of the BEST films Bruce. I love all of them, but this one....wonderful to see the 'bright' people being...well being people. Ordinary people.
How was she even able to have her phone! When I sat on a jury (for a civil case at that) there was no phone service in the courtroom and we couldn’t even take our phone into court it had to remain in the jury room and turned off!
I like this judge. Like the first lawyer said "just let me pay the fine". You learn nothing if you are used to just paying a fine when you act out of pocket.
This is awesome. He is being reprimanded like a senior that got caught smoking weed and having an attitude. "Tough love, grow up, learning experience".
Clearly the first lawyer finds it impossible to simply "sit down and shut up." Neither of the two lawyers held in contempt seem to be putting off fulfilling the terms of their contempt judgement. That second lawyer got the easy way out and is still fighting the judge. I love the quiet laughter in the background, too. I love that the misbehaving juror (who was mouthy, too) was taken into custody right then and there.
@@mclovin6039 Dude, he threatened the guy with 20 days of jail just because he felt like it. This is crazy and bastards like you should think if 1st if YOU would feel the same if YOU were threatened this way because someone simply could.
I’ve been in front of judge for some very petty, minor stuff and hated the whole bending over like they’re kings…but I swallowed my pride like an adult, smiled and said your honor to all responses. Some people really let their egos take control.
That stuff used to bother me too until I took on a very high profile public sector job directly expressing the public's will and saw how it looks from the other side. When a judge refers to themselves in third person as "the court" and responds harshly to minor breaches of decorum, that's not self-aggrandizement on their part. That's them taking seriously their solemn duty to carry out the will of the people as codified in law to uphold a fair process. Nobody else in that room has that duty, so if they don't do it, then it doesn't get done. There are certainly plenty of power-tripping judges, but if you're a decent person and you're in charge of serving the public interest, you've got thousands of people on your mind all the time and the only way to serve them all is to stick to the program.
Love your content! ON most channels I fast forward through through the ads, but you make even the ads engaging and relevant. Plus, esign is a great product.!
For a bit over half of those filing, no federal income taxes are paid. States with income tax vary but all are graduated which means roughly the same numbers apply. Those who pay taxes get generally value for them. Roads, customs and consumer safety, public safety, social services etc etc etc. Ever go to a national or state park? Ride mass transit? Drive to work? I nearly guarantee you paid far less than you cost to do those things. We are not obligated to serve in our armed forces, run for office ir serve on school boards, clean litter in public spaces, mow the grass in the parks we use and so on. Jury duty is the one exception.
@@JodyOwen-we6oo I feel like I pay taxes all year and at tax time just for someone that's sitting on their ass to collect it. Yes I do enjoy parks but I also pay to park, stay, and eat in the area which is even more money they ask of me. The roads look like Swiss cheese. I'm constantly dodging potholes. I don't ride the city bus, collect EBT or unemployment, or ask anything from the government other than to leave me TF alone. When you pay a lot of taxes you have a different perspective than someone who collects a lot of taxes.
Mr. Bruce Rivers, I really enjoyed this segment. I have watched several of your videos and this one of yours tops the list because it gives a regular person like me insight into the inner-workings of the court system and repercussions of actors in the justice system when they do things they're not supposed to do. Don't get me wrong - I enjoyed your coverage of Brookes and Tate. I found this particular viewpoint intrigueing because I feel it fills a gap in typical Lawtuber content by showing what happens after the judge says "I am holding you in contempt" beyond what popular news sources show. I am a regular consumer of LegalEagle, Emily D. Baker, and AttorneyTom, and I don't think they've ever given this perspective into the legal system. Great content!
This judge is a hero - this is how you maintain the discipline and quality of professional work. Everyone can learn from this - accountability, accountability, accountability.
It's terrible. This is why we need more judges like him that maintain order in their courtrooms & hold ppl accountable. He & others like him, should be giving lectures in a law schools. Courtroom etiquette unfortunately is no longer common sense, even after the judge issues their instructions & responsibilities for some ppl.
Classic example of a story worth learning; many times in life you will find yourself behind a desk. Across from you is another, larger desk. The person behind the larger desk is strong, and you are weak. There is nothing inherently wrong with this, but remember which side you’re on when your mouth starts to outpace your mind.
The US jury system is very different to Australias. Here, the pay goes up incrementally over time. I used to pray to be put on a case that lasted more than 3 weeks (?). I think at that stage I would have gotten almost $300 per day, which was a shite load more than I was earning at the time. The case was settled before we were even summoned 😭
I love love love this judge. He’s not your typical one. I love that he’s making them write an essay. That’s an old school tactic but has always been effective in my 52 years.😂
Appreciate your style of keeping your comments concise and to the point. I’ve tried watching other lawyers react but they talk wayy too much! Enjoy your content and the way you do it. 👍👍
Imagine sitting on a jury for 8 months and right near the end someone like this does something stupid and there is a mistrial. All the time effort and money if so many people wasted because of some selfish person. I would want that judge to be very strict so that we can finish the case and everyone can move on having played a role in the justice system. I was a juror i On a one day civil trial and they settled an hour before the day was to end. All of the jurors were so angry. We already knew that dr was evil but then we didn’t get the chance to say so. But at least it wasn’t messed up by some idiot.
I’m an English lawyer, over 40 years ago I appeared on a civil case before a Master of the High Court. When I won my case I asked for costs (which is normal in England). Master Ritchie’s judgement (which I remember word perfect was); looking at my opponents “why don’t you chaps over there by these chaps over here a drink? That was the end of it. When we we left Maters Ritchie’s chambers we had a good laugh at the order, which was never drawn up. I never did get my drink😢
If he's already forcing one of the lawyers to write an essay on professionalism and things haven't even ramped up yet for trial, I'm guessing this case is full of sh*tty people and we're going to witness one heck of a clown show once the proceedings are in full swing.

I served on a jury a month ago here in Canada and we were given 100 dollars a day. I was hoping the trial would last longer because that's more than I make at work each day!
Did you already have your mind made up on the verdict?
🙌🏼
That is not bad! I'm Canadian and was a juror in the late 90s and we only got $16 per day! Even then it was very little money. Nice to hear it went up. They probably had more jurors refusing to go.
🤷♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My great grandad moved to England from Canada after ww1, I plan to go back and rediscover my true homeland, big respect to Canada!!
I work for the Federal Govt and my coworker told me he had jury duty on Monday. He wasn't quite complaining just grumbling a little. I said, "Better us than other people. We get paid our normal wages, and some people don't. I'd rather it be me than someone who's going to lose pay." He told me he never thought about it that way. Afterwards he was more willing to go. So, I'd be down for a 9 month trial.
That's why they have so much trouble finding jurors in this case. If the money the government gives the jurors doesn't equal a salary on which people can live on, who can afford to spend a minimum of nine months sitting on the jury box for this trial? How many companies are going to keep somebody's position waiting for them after such a long time? No wonder they have so much trouble finding jurors for this trial. Unless you are a trust fund baby who doesn't work or study, completely retired citizen or a civil servant who gets compensated anyway, you won't have the money to support yourself.
There was lady at the beginning of the Parkland trial that she said that she had a sugar daddy, so that she had to pay attention to him. That was her reason to request to be granted leave from jury duty. The jurdge accepted that and excused her. This lady was even interviewed by at least one local news channel, on which she repeated that her sugar daddy would stop paying her rent and bills if she was not available.
😂😂
Its a part of being an American to have complete willingness to serve on a jury.

The amount of times you had to say “just buy some sandwiches and shut up.” Is astounding. These lawyers are ridiculous.
Ikr???? I was shouting 'Just say YES I will do it today". The dumbing down of America on full display. It's freaking sandwiches!! What a hill to die on!!
Right. I was thinking that while watching this.
When the judge says you will buy lunch you say yessir and you buy lunch for every lawyer in the building.
Lawyers have a certain way of viewing themselves. (I'm a lawyer).
I think it's ego. They don't want to do anything for their opponent. Not even a sandwich. Which is trivial.
That judge is creative! He doesn’t just have to write a publishable 10-page academic paper on “Why I Shouldn’t Have Mouthed Off in Court” he has to send it to legal journals!
😂
APA, as well!
I have been called 3 times in my life so far for jury duty. I am now 60 years old. The second time I was called I was actually picked and ended up even being jury foreman. I was proud to do that and even to this day I am proud I was able to do that. I was a stay at home mom and as my children got older I wished that I could volunteer for jury duty as I did not have a job I had to be at so it caused no hardship for me to attend. Unfortunately you can't ask to do this. But this young juror should have taken her opportunity seriously enough to pay attention when the judge was speaking, especially to the jurors!! 3 days in jail should make her more attentive in the future.
The look on the "essay" lawyer's face was PRICELESS! The judge did have a point, lawyers should be able to write.
Fantastic and creative punishment 😂
At $300 per hour.
And to think this lawyer rather pay $1000 rather than write a serious paper,
Just because you're able to do something (write) doesn't necessarily mean you like to do it. lol!
The judge was overreaching his authority.

I never grounded a kid. They learn nothing from it. My kids wrote me essays containing what they did, why, and what would have been a better choice. I would proof it and they would rewrite it. Once I was happy with it the situation was over. Granted, I was blessed with well behaved kids. We aren’t talking drugs and stealing here but they had to think about whatever was stepping over the line. I produced wicked strong writers! I’d do it exactly the same today.
Good for this Judge taking control and asking for respect in his court room.
That woman was lying. It's pathetic that she acts like a teenager caught and making up a rediculous lie. If she thinks anyone believes that "everybody was talking" while the judge was addressing the rules to the jury, she's crazy.
It's incredibly quiet .
The judge would have definitely remembered if everyone had been talking while he was speaking and giving instructions. He should have pointed that out. This girl got off light if you think about it. She’s damn lucky
She f*ked around and found out. 😝🍿

It's the current generation. (Not everybody, but a majority). Hardly told no, hardly held accountable. I see more and more "adults" acting like children and acting on their emotions instead of logic. Critical thinking, forethought, and common sense aren't as common as it used to be
I fkn love that first judge!! One of the best discipline methods I ever learned, that worked like magic for our son, who came from the foster system was PAPERWORK. When he violated someone safety at school or home he was immediately grounded no privileges (like phone) and given a worksheet we were willing to check once per day. The questions were 1. What happened, do not blame-shift. You better Star in the story. 2. Who was affected. 3. What do you need to do about it? 4. What would you do differently.
Then it got signed and dated and filed in my binder of shame. All of his violent and aggressive behaviors eventually stopped he hated doing it so much. It was awesome. Made him do all the work to get out of trouble, improved his writing skills and now I have a binder of some bull💩 we can laugh about now.
No way it was a " minority" oh wait a sec. We da minority

Me too. Bruce, Michael and the other is for monthly subscription boxes...(Subscription Sisters) and I watch on about chipmunks...Choo Choo Story. I'm eclectic at best.
But I really love Mr. Rivers and his son Michael. This video in of itself is prime. I learn something every day...and all about esign. This is certainly lesson in life and how scary it is out there.

I agree.

This is great. Some people think a fine is no big deal so they do whatever they want. Sometimes you have to be creative in order for someone to actually get it.
Reminds me of a clip I saw a while back. (paraphrasing)
Judge: That's $100 fine for contempt
Defendant: Worth it.
Judge: Make it $200
Defendant: Not worth it anymore
Wish i could be this creative with my lazy, contemptuous students
Was a juror in a criminal case, that changed my life in many ways and appreciate our courts so much more than ever. It was very stressful and it was really hard even having just one person who didn't pay attention or not follow directions well. She knew what she was doing and she didn't care about anyone but herself.
You see that when she argues with the judge. Just stupid.
Did you or someone else on the jury report her?
I’ve seen judges excuse bad behavior many times, it’s really refreshing to see one actually follow through on correcting it. When they don’t it kind of makes a joke out of their courtroom.
Bruce, your words ring really fucking true. I had a shit day at work today and was veeerrryyy vocal about it, and I was lucky that my boss didn't hear it. Keeping your mouth shut when you're heated is a skill I need to practice.
I was lucky enough to grow up watching my parents let their mouths regularly get them in trouble. Taught me a really good lesson in "the pen is mightier than the sword" very early on, that I'm rather grateful for.
No, keep that loud mouth running! Watching people let their mouth get them into all sorts of trouble is great entertainment for people like me… It’s just a fascinating and hilarious trait that is wild to us.
This reminds me so much of having to write 100 sentences in the 3rd grade.😂 I hated it. Was usually something like, “I will not talk in class.” Times 100.
😂😂😂😂 I remember that 😂
We had to do that too except they never told us what size the sentences had to be. We wrote them so physically small, you couldn't even read what it said. The teachers just loved it when we did stuff like that, just to spite them. Lol
I went to Catholic school. If you got in trouble they gave you a bible, told you to open a random page, and start writing everything on separate paper word for word til the teacher was satisfied.
100! You got lucky!
We had to right the whole multiplication sets, from 1-12!
That judge is going to be reading the finest essay chatgpt can write.
Unless you get caught, since the judge EXPLICITLY said he had to be the one to right it.

I was a juror on a murder trial about ten years ago. One of the other jurors said several times to me that he was so angry at being picked that he was going to try and screw the trial up. Apparently, he said this to another juror, too . I reported him to the jury foreman in private and he was removed. Not sure what happened to him, but it was pretty outrageous that he thought he could screw up the trial simply because he didn't want to be there, not to mention creating a potential mistrial with no justice for the victim's family. To this day, I'm not sure why he was even chosen as a juror because he was clearly irritated at having to be there.

However, thank god with age, I now feel much more measured. I really think before I speak. Know when to speak and resonate with everything you're talking about.

Bruce you are the man. I love your well placed profanity and humor. You are “a down to earth lawyer.
This review is great! Love, love, love it. Civility is being threatened in so many places. Good to have an explanation of civility in court. I would love to read the report the attorney wrote. I remember learning to think, “is this the hill I want to die on?” I find I have less and less hills and have the response I want when it is.
Amen
This judge truly understands what Justice is. I have deep respect for how he handles every one of these matters. As an aspiring attorney, it gives me hope.
Justice? The fuck is this about justice? Why would anyone treat a prosecutor with respect, most of them are worse than cartel leaders.
Best of luck to you, and keep in mind that there will be days when it feels like it's hopeless. That's pretty much guaranteed to happen, and it's just part of the job. When those days come, take a deep breath, pour yourself a stiff drink, and say out loud, "This too shall pass."
@@rivercitymud it’s all good. I just meant it’s nice to see a judge who uses their discretion in a positive way to help people realize their mistake instead of throwing them in a cage. It’s a better way of dealing with small matters in my opinion.
@@daviswilliams201 Hearing you loud and clear, this is a one of a kind court.
That's really cool, that the Judge made you pay your fine to a charity of your choice. I think that's a very classy move, and I bet you weren't late again, probably to avoid "getting sideways" with the judge!
Yeah it was a no win situation to be honest because he probably would've been reprimanded if he had to interrupt the sentencing Judge to make a phone call to the other one. It takes about ten to fifteen minutes to get out of one courthouse, walk to the next courthouse, go through security, and find the courtroom you are supposed to go to next so his original case was probably wrapped up in time it just took time to get to the next courthouse. Not waiting ten minutes to start the case then locking the attorney out of the courtroom isn't very cool.
The Chief Judge in our Federal District Court, allows no using of cell phones in his court. There are several notifications outside and inside the courtroom. He also has a rather large fish tank in his chambers. If anyone’s cellphone is exposed or makes any noise during session, he asks the bailiff to confiscate it, and drop it in the fish tank. Everyone in the building is very aware of the wreckage of cellphones at the bottom of his tank.
He's letting people know he isn't taking anyone's BS. I love it!!!
Don't play with this judge.

I worked for an attorney’s office for quite a few years and one of the first things they told me when I was hired was to be very careful how I spoke to judges’ offices. I was a legal assistant so I dealt with secretaries for judges all the time; some of them (the secretaries) thought they were hot sh*t because they knew we couldn’t really give them a hard time when they didn’t do things they were supposed to do. I had a really difficult one in Miami- I think I did lose my cool with her once. But, yeah, you don’t piss off judges. They have the power to make your life miserable.
"does not put up with BS from anyone" a.k.a treats his courtroom like his personal kingdom to satiate his own sadistic desires.

You know, from the title I thought the video was going to be one of those recordings where a judge comes down too hard and stops being professional. Instead, I actually really like this judge's rulings.

What we use to call a "Come to Poppa/Momma" meeting where I'm from. Youngsters getting 'schooled'.
This reminds me of a time that I was told to go to a lesson in road safety after the Police caught me speeding. By coincidence a student of mine was in the same class. We were all told that everything that went on in the class was confidential. But the moment the student recognised me, she pulled out her phone and started texting her friends!
I'm gonna play devil's advocate here : did all the people taking he class sign a NDA/confidentiality agreement? Or was that agreement between the student (individual) and the school? Second option, the students do not have the responsibility of confidentiality towards each other. I have never done such a class. So i would be interested to hear more about it :)
You were not giving a good example, my friend. My sense of humour is telling me that probably you have given your students tens of speeches saying that they need to behave a certain way or else, so if you are not following your own admonitions... Probably, I wouldn't dare to do it right there and then--I would wait until I got to the loo or on my way home, but there is no way in hell I would have kept something like that confidential. No way.

Clearly the first lawyer finds it impossible to simply "sit down and shut up." Neither of the two lawyers held in contempt seem to be putting off fulfilling the terms of their contempt judgement.

I’ve been in front of judge for some very petty, minor stuff and hated the whole bending over like they’re kings…but I swallowed my pride like an adult, smiled and said your honor to all responses. Some people really let their egos take control.
That stuff used to bother me too until I took on a very high profile public sector job directly expressing the public's will and saw how it looks from the other side. When a judge refers to themselves in third person as "the court" and responds harshly to minor breaches of decorum, that's not self-aggrandizement on their part. That's them taking seriously their solemn duty to carry out the will of the people as codified in law to uphold a fair process. Nobody else in that room has that duty, so if they don't do it, then it doesn't get done. There are certainly plenty of power-tripping judges, but if you're a decent person and you're in charge of serving the public interest, you've got thousands of people on your mind all the time and the only way to serve them all is to stick to the program.
That's so awesome he's making him getting it published.

For a bit over half of those filing, no federal income taxes are paid. States with income tax vary but all are graduated which means roughly the same numbers apply.
Those who pay taxes get generally value for them. Roads, customs and consumer safety, public safety, social services etc etc etc. Ever go to a national or state park? Ride mass transit? Drive to work? I nearly guarantee you paid far less than you cost to do those things.
We are not obligated to serve in our armed forces, run for office ir serve on school boards, clean litter in public spaces, mow the grass in the parks we use and so on.
Jury duty is the one exception.
@@JodyOwen-we6oo I feel like I pay taxes all year and at tax time just for someone that's sitting on their ass to collect it. Yes I do enjoy parks but I also pay to park, stay, and eat in the area which is even more money they ask of me. The roads look like Swiss cheese. I'm constantly dodging potholes. I don't ride the city bus, collect EBT or unemployment, or ask anything from the government other than to leave me TF alone. When you pay a lot of taxes you have a different perspective than someone who collects a lot of taxes.
This has got to be the wildest court case ever
I requested this! Thank you Bruce!!
Great video ! You’re hilarious. Hi Michael !
Mr. Bruce Rivers, I really enjoyed this segment. I have watched several of your videos and this one of yours tops the list because it gives a regular person like me insight into the inner-workings of the court system and repercussions of actors in the justice system when they do things they're not supposed to do. Don't get me wrong - I enjoyed your coverage of Brookes and Tate. I found this particular viewpoint intrigueing because I feel it fills a gap in typical Lawtuber content by showing what happens after the judge says "I am holding you in contempt" beyond what popular news sources show. I am a regular consumer of LegalEagle, Emily D. Baker, and AttorneyTom, and I don't think they've ever given this perspective into the legal system. Great content!
Thanks for another fun-filled episode of CLR! You had me cracking up. Thanks for the laughs.
This judge is a hero - this is how you maintain the discipline and quality of professional work. Everyone can learn from this - accountability, accountability, accountability.
I learned who Bruce Rivers is and what he does, all in the first 5 seconds of this video.
Very informative.
They need to pay people more for jury duty that's insane how can you support your family for 9 months on $15/day
That's not every court. Where I use to live it was $60, where I now live is $40. Still not enough, but a lot better than $15.
It's sad that disrespect is going into a court room now. A sad reflection of society.
Cameras!!
fuck them those courtrooms are the same courtrooms that let the people who cause the 2008 market crash walk free
You're right. We see it in the schools too.
It's terrible. This is why we need more judges like him that maintain order in their courtrooms & hold ppl accountable. He & others like him, should be giving lectures in a law schools. Courtroom etiquette unfortunately is no longer common sense, even after the judge issues their instructions & responsibilities for some ppl.
Someone is paying these guys hundreds of dollars an hour to piss the judge off.
Hundreds bro your trippin 100000 tho plus I bet
Classic example of a story worth learning; many times in life you will find yourself behind a desk. Across from you is another, larger desk. The person behind the larger desk is strong, and you are weak. There is nothing inherently wrong with this, but remember which side you’re on when your mouth starts to outpace your mind.
The US jury system is very different to Australias. Here, the pay goes up incrementally over time. I used to pray to be put on a case that lasted more than 3 weeks (?). I think at that stage I would have gotten almost $300 per day, which was a shite load more than I was earning at the time. The case was settled before we were even summoned 😭
I love love love this judge. He’s not your typical one. I love that he’s making them write an essay. That’s an old school tactic but has always been effective in my 52 years.😂
Appreciate your style of keeping your comments concise and to the point. I’ve tried watching other lawyers react but they talk wayy too much! Enjoy your content and the way you do it. 👍👍
Imagine sitting on a jury for 8 months and right near the end someone like this does something stupid and there is a mistrial. All the time effort and money if so many people wasted because of some selfish person. I would want that judge to be very strict so that we can finish the case and everyone can move on having played a role in the justice system.
I was a juror i
On a one day civil trial and they settled an hour before the day was to end. All of the jurors were so angry. We already knew that dr was evil but then we didn’t get the chance to say so. But at least it wasn’t messed up by some idiot.
It's disrespectful to the jurors at that point. IMO.
Awesome commentary. Interesting to see what can happen in court if the lawyer is not behaving. Thanks for sharing your personal experience!
Life hack for that lawyer who's gotta pick the sources, start with the secondary, they always give you the caselaw in there.
I served jury duty 3 times..loved it
I’m an English lawyer, over 40 years ago I appeared on a civil case before a Master of the High Court. When I won my case I asked for costs (which is normal in England). Master Ritchie’s judgement (which I remember word perfect was); looking at my opponents “why don’t you chaps over there by these chaps over here a drink? That was the end of it. When we we left Maters Ritchie’s chambers we had a good laugh at the order, which was never drawn up. I never did get my drink😢
Take em back to court you deserve that drink!😂 jk
