Elliott
I find that there is an undue influence in the case.
There are enough ethical problems that don’t add to the problem.
If that’s not an ethical problem I don’t know what is.
The court is charged with making sure that justice is done.
Your client lied about his finances.
I am the judge and in a moment I am going to ask you to leave.
Your firm does this a lot and attack other lawyers.
I find it to be a pattern with your firm.
You are going to be taking out of here if you don’t sit down.
I am the Judge, not you.
Jennifer Abrams:

At what point should a judge sanction an attorney?
Is a judge too comfortable or intimidated by an attorney that they give them leeway to basically run their own courtroom?
If there is an ethical problem or the law has been broken by an attorney the Judge is mandated by law to report it to the Nevada State Bar or a governing agency that could deal with the problem appropriately.
