This is not a criticism of you, but attorneys ARE NOT 'officers of the court'. I can locate the USSC opinion that confirms this if you want proof. I had a run-in with a deputy court clerk over this issue a year ago and when I threatened her with a civil rights action and obstruction of justice charge, a judge quickly straightened her out on the matter. I don't take B.S. from arrogant court personnel.

How about in Alameda County? This page, from the Superior Court of California, Alameda County, lists attorneys as "officers of the court".

Yes, I'd be interested to see the opinion. Good for you for sticking up for yourself; some court personnel/attorneys/judges are damned arrogant and need a good @$$ kicking to straighten them out.
