Making the Judge Happy in a Matrimonial Trial
Making the judge happy will help you be more effective at trial. If you follow the rules and procedures, and help the trial run smoothly, the judge may listen to you better and credit your argument. The judge's reaction to your presentations may also influence the jury's feelings about you and your case. You may gain acceptance or favor with a judge by being prepared and organized, acting professionally, and learning from experience. This article suggests specific ways to help make your matrimonial trial successful.
1. Follow the Judge's Standing Orders and Courtroom Procedures
Most judges have standing orders that specify many pretrial and trial requirements. You should diligently abide by these orders. Judges may have additional, unwritten requirements or preferences for trial submissions and courtroom procedures or etiquette. For example, in some courtrooms, you may not re-cross-examine a witness or you may have to tender a witness as an expert before you can ask for opinions. Some judges have expectations as to where lawyers may stand when they are questioning witnesses or addressing the jury. Most judges require the parties to meet and confer on motions and many other aspects of trial practice. Before your next trial, research resources available online, talk to the judge's staff, check with other lawyers who have tried a case before the judge, or watch a trial to learn these requirements.
