> But very few people are actually in a position where they can't say no to the client (the lawyer being one of the few exceptions). Yea, I agree with this. As the lawyer, when the court asks you your preferred dates for scheduling something, don't give them a Friday. If the Court asks you to schedule something on a Friday, you could politely request it moved to another day. If the Court says: "too bad, this Court works Fridays, and I'm going to schedule something for Friday", then you show up on Friday. Exactly the same way that you would if the Court said: "I'm going to schedule something for a Saturday".
