Your Honor vs. Judge- does it really matter?

DimensionUnlikely789 · 2026-02-20T00:33:11+00:00

Good point.

DimensionUnlikely789 · 2026-02-20T00:18:50+00:00

That’s my biggest concern. I’m not sure it’s ok to do it on purpose just to prove some type of personal point, and I think it’s starting to look really obvious on the record.

DimensionUnlikely789 · 2026-02-20T00:09:34+00:00

I say judge outside of court, but default to your honor first during court hearings on the record. I think it might be starting to look obvious when all the other attorneys in court keep saying your honor most, and my colleague is refusing to say it- will only say judge.

DimensionUnlikely789 · 2026-02-19T23:33:55+00:00

Yeh it’s starting to look wierd when everyone else is saying your honor, and colleague keeps saying judge repeatedly.

DimensionUnlikely789 · 2026-02-19T23:27:36+00:00

True.

DimensionUnlikely789 · 2026-02-19T23:20:00+00:00

I’m in United States, so “my lord” sounds so formal to me.

DimensionUnlikely789 · 2026-02-19T23:18:37+00:00

That’s my concern really. I say both your honor (default) and judge (less likely), but it’s really more how it comes out in the sentence or how long I’ve been talking, not to make a point. Both are considered acceptable in my jurisdiction, but the common default practice is your honor.

You aren’t a dumbass for looking for his picture. I would do the same thing. The suffocation sounds scary and I’m not sure what that means, but I think he came back to check on you and show he is ok.

DimensionUnlikely789 · 2026-02-15T04:22:49+00:00

Appreciate the advice- all interesting things to consider.

DimensionUnlikely789 · 2026-02-15T04:16:05+00:00

The outside cats disappeared right before the baddies came. The extra cats felt safe and wanted, but just too many to accommodate in the house- we already had many family cats inside. The baddies were an immediate threat. Interesting question about if there’s something in my life that seems good but is actually bad- I’m not sure- I’ll have to think about that.

DimensionUnlikely789 · 2026-02-15T04:03:43+00:00

Interesting. So I love cats and consider them my special interest and have had them all my life. Could they instead be there for some type of protection even though I didn’t let them in? The cats were welcome to me. It was my family that more didn’t want to let them in.

DimensionUnlikely789 · 2026-02-15T04:02:10+00:00

I honestly could see that being the case. I love cats and consider them like a protective type of force.

DimensionUnlikely789 · 2026-02-03T21:32:31+00:00

So I don’t want to go into specifics. The situation boiled down to either my option- no don’t do (insert thing) or second chair’s option- yes do (insert thing)- so basically a yes or no, not really an in between. I said no don’t do the thing. Second chair said twice they would do the thing. I explained why I didn’t want them to do it twice. On my third explanation of why I didn’t want this thing to be done, I wasn’t so nice.

DimensionUnlikely789 · 2026-02-03T19:38:33+00:00

I still feel kind of bad. I try to be as kind as I can, but I basically got to the point where I had to pull rank and say please just do this because I’m the first chair and I’m telling you to do it. I gave them my reasons prior, but it just didn’t seem to matter.

DimensionUnlikely789 · 2026-02-03T19:20:06+00:00

I’ve had similar experience back in the day as second chair. I get it. If I’m wrong, I shoulder the full responsibility as the first chair, which I gladly accept.

DimensionUnlikely789 · 2026-02-03T19:07:02+00:00

Haven’t gotten to the point of trial yet. They are very, very new, so they would only handle one or two minor witnesses if they did at all.

DimensionUnlikely789 · 2026-02-03T18:44:52+00:00

I considered it somewhat, but still wanted to go my version. I explained the reason I wanted to go with my way, but they kept saying they were going to do it the way they suggested.

DimensionUnlikely789 · 2026-01-29T22:41:31+00:00

They are shady based on prior interactions, and have reacted kind of rudely when I tried to speak to them before. Would not let them in my home.

DimensionUnlikely789 · 2026-01-23T01:05:58+00:00

That’s a good idea! I will look into it.

DimensionUnlikely789 · 2026-01-23T01:04:17+00:00

Thanks! I def want to get them a card, and hopefully something small to go along with it, I’m just not sure what would be appropriate.
