I few months ago I was in court, I was suing 2 related parties and I was pro-se. One of the lawyers of one of the defendants lied 3 times in front of the judge, when I called him upon it, the judge didn't bling.
This was civil court, not small claims.
Oh well.
- beervirus 6y agoWhat sort of lies?
- bigiain 6y ago> when I called him upon it, the judge didn't bling. Now I'm imagining that judge getting presented with evidence the defence lawyer is lying to them, and whipping out a chunky gold chain and a diamond encrusted grill...
- mcherm 6y agoWas there clear and obvious evidence of the lies, or was it largely your testimony? If there was clear and obvious evidence of the lies then you can submit a complaint to the bar (or whatever the disciplinary body is for lawyers in your state). The judge is NOT actually the one with the authority to enforce these professional obligations.
- paxys 6y agoThe judge doesn't enforce professional obligations but absolutely enforces perjury. Of course the real question is why was the lawyer testifying at all?
- matthewheath 6y agoIt doesn't sound like the lawyer was testifying? They can certainly lie in their presentation of the case, during summing up, etc.
