Rather than learning, she is claiming that Judge Carter betrayed her.
"Rather than learning, she is claiming that Judge Carter betrayed her."
In her defense, she immigrated from a country where extreme paranoia was probably an important survival technique. However, as a lawyer in our system, that trait can create problems when coupled with a large ego and a lack of formal legal training and experience. Her behaviour and arguments are more like what you would find coming from an average pro se litigant.
Most people that are good test takers could probably gather enough info to cram for and pass the bar in their state without any formal legal training, but that does not mean that they would be a good lawyer or successful in court proceedings.
Perhaps much of Orly’s feckless courtroom character is due to her lack of courtroom experience. Sad really ...
