Never thought of the VDAY angle, single dudes don't I guess lol. I was worried about a judge ruling differently around xmas?A week before Xmas and one day before St.Valentine's Day. Tough choices. But, if you are Scrooge,you go with Dec19
You didn't know that?Get who there, do I have to drive the defendants to court.
I don't want their focus to be loose, I want it as tight as possible. I am talking about a judge feeling sympathy at that time of year in his/her decision?Take the earlier date. Always... Court time is precious and always in short supply. Adjournments, even of trials are frequent, especially in small claims. Your December date could easily become February anyway so get your foot in the door. And just for the record despite the earlier comment - judges do NOT loose their focus after lunch. If a judge is loosing interest in your case it is usually because you are wasting time on evidence that is not relevant or is inadmissible or perhaps because you're flogging a dead horse on an issue on which the evidence is abundantly clear.
"Your honour, I admit that I broke Wazup's antique bedframe when I was doing his wife, but in my defense it's Christmas, cut me some slack!"I don't want their focus to be loose, I want it as tight as possible. I am talking about a judge feeling sympathy at that time of year in his/her decision?
To be 100% you should find out if the Judge is a man or woman and what religion they are. Are they single, married, divorced. Going through marital problems where their spouse is cheating on them. Do they have children?I'm taking someone to court and I have a choice of Dec. 19th or Feb. 13. I would prefer the Dec. date but I am worried about possible sympathy for the defendant because of the time of year, is this justified?
