Reply To: I Worked For The State…

Ujm, In that case I would have pleaded to be recused (is that a word?). I would have darshed in front of the (Jewish) judge all about hilchos Mesirah… Gemaros, Rambam, Shulchan Aruch, the later Poskim.. until he’d start to “zing arayn”.

CA: He glanced at me and asked if anyone of us need to be let home early on Friday, they were very accommodating (I said 2, they stopped at 1). Mrs/Ms/Mz Court Officer pulled me aside when ordering lunches for the rest of the bunch, she had the menu sheet of a nearby Kosher Deli for me to choose. (Of course I declined, corn chips and coffee are just fine)

AAQ: They specifically request over and over again to let feelings of mercy etc right outside the door. That’s for the judge to decide. We are bidden to have, as you yourself put it, courts of justice. Because you have rachmanus, it has no bearing on the truth, whether the drunk drove or not.
