I was a witness in a trial here in Mass. The judge, after postponing several court dates had everyone involved come in for a 10 Am start.
He didn't get to us until the afternoon. Then he heard the snyopsis of the case and said he didn't have time to hear it that day.

He said I want everyone involved back here Monday morning at 10 AM. I was close enough to hear a conversation between the judge and a lawyer. The lawyer told the judge he had to be in another court on Monday morning on another case. The judge told him I don't care about your personal problems. If you are not here in this court Monday at 10 AM I will hold you in contempt of court. And the judge just walked away. Just an anecdote but I have several others dealings with arrogant Mass. judges. - Tom
