Susie, I know that feeling of losing a day. It happens to me alot when there is a Monday holiday. I am confused about what day of the week it is for the rest of the work week.
I make it a point NOT to watch court TV shows. I’ve seen enough of Judge Judy to be revolted. She does not display anything remotely looking like a judicial temperament. There have been too many spinoffs to keep up with. The thing I dislike most about them is the impression they give the public about what courts are like, especially when they come to court to serve on juries or are trying to represent themselves in a court case.
I do like to watch the Law and Order shows, but they are not realistic in terms of court procedures. Judges don’t rule on motions in the hallway or in the judge’s chambers. Judges don’t talk to one lawyer about a case without the other side’s lawyer being present.
I also like the CSI shows, but they too are not accurate. CSIs don’t question witnesses or suspects.
*gets down from soapbox* Whew!
