🚨What was your favorite Zoom fail?
👔 Don’t show up to court naked! Get a custom fit Indochino suit: legaleagle.link/indochino
Always the cat!
I feel bad for the cat guy because he didn't explain that he was actually using his assistance's computer which makes a lot more sense than him not knowing how to turn it off or that he uses that
I'm not a cat sounds like something a cat would say
"Afternoon Delights".
One simply cannot keep it in his pants.
The cattorney
"I'm not a cat" seems like precisely the sort of thing a cat pretending to be an attorney would say.
U make a solid point. Also this was a great pick me up during corona
It's also what Ferris Bueler would say through his voice changer while hiding his face.
"I can't find my human filt... I mean I can't find a way to remove it"
😂
It isn't a lie.. he's a kitten, technically not a cat.
In the case of the abuser being caught in the house of his victim, the reason the abuser was caught was the prosecutor catching tells in the body language and facial expressions of the victims which indicated to her that the abuser was nearby and not only was the victim afraid to be honest, but the abuser had likely told the victim what to say. If the prosecutor deserves major kudos for recognizing what she was seeing.
Yeah there was a lot of side glances and small nods
Hero prosecutor
Absolutely!! I hope she gets the accommodation she deserves!
thats the one that shoulda won
Oh wow that makes it like a thousand and seven times worse!
That cat lawyer is probably still mortified as a result of his epic zoom fail. We should all tell him how greatful we are and how much we love him because he gave us a laugh at a time when we needed it most desperately.
Apparently he's an abusive POS in real life, unfortunately.
The best thing about that embarrassing cat video was how much he deserved it, though
@@minette36 He is? Wow. It's amazing how quickly people can get a reputation (true or not) on the internet.
At least we don't know what he looks like. As opposed to some of the other contenders, which we saw way too much of.
@@damnmamaa actually, we do. There is a video with interviews of both the judge and the cat with his human filter restored.
For me, it's the part where cat filter lawyer stoically says he's prepared to go forward with it that just kills me every time.
“I’m here live, I am not a cat.” The most memorable quote of 2021, that wasn’t even political
Hey it happens every now and then a feline sneaks under the bar
The abuser in the home was one of the most amazing pieces of work by the prosecutor and police to catch him in the act. It should win, but not for being a fail!
He later called and threatened her from the jail phone. Crazy trial.
I am curious - if you don't feel it should win for being a fail.... then for what?
@@laurendoe168 For being a win by the prosecutor and police. If you watch this video, it is very subtle that he may have been there. She looks up a few times but that's it. They must have suspected he may do this. They had a police officer on their way to her house in seconds.
@@InTaco7 You're right! He also went CRAZY during his follow up arraignment.
That atty Deborah Davis must be an incredible ally for her clients.
The "I'm not a cat" one is the best thing that came out of the pandemic. It's just a perfect mix of the setting, technology going rogue, panic and an attempt to explain the situation that will go down in history 😂
Fully agree!
Me, a normal person that's rarely been to court or is involved in any legal stuff, got dressed up, and was stressing about my background, not eating, or drinking while on a zoom call to witness a hearing.
And then there's lawyers attending zoom hearings naked.
And we thought we only had to worry about defendants showing up in wild clothes that do nothing for their case.
@@ginnyjollykidd oh it can do something...😂
For me it’s still legal cat. Not a lawyer but the legal cat makes me laugh so much and bring me nothing but joy. His voice helps too.
The sad cat and that guy's voice together are just magic, and coupled with the helpless "stuff has gone wrong and I don't know what or how to fix it" thing makes it perfect! Haven't laughed so much in ages as when I first saw that.
The judge was a great sport about it
The great thing about legal cat is that it's not intentional. Like being naked, I think that's intentional. Just saying.
My favorite bit is Colonel Sanders Esq cracking up at the end
istg when I hear the legal cat voice, I hear Dr. Phil's voice and that just makes it funnier to me. lol
I'm convinced that everyone migrated to Zoom court so that the bailiffs can no longer tackle them.
Modern problems require modern solutions
No the bailiff works with the tech and just SWATs the people on the zoom call. A lot slower and not as personal but still gets the job done.
Judge: "You do not have permission to enter the kitchen! Balif..."
At least one of those videos looked like they had a gag order.
The bailiffs can now kick them (out of the chat)
OBJECTION! At no point did Devin turn on his own cat filter. Or even a bird filter to make himself a literal eagle! This is a grave miscarriage of justice, your honor.
@Joshua Cline dammit lol
The “I’m not a cat” lawyer reminds me of the British journalist that was working from home and his two toddler kids bust in on him and the his wife zooms in trying to remain unobtrusive and rescue her husband by grabbing the kids and skedaddling.
DItto. And although it doesn't qualify for this video (since it's too old and doesn't concern legal proceedings) that's still my favorite video call fail.
Appearing in court while giving surgery, it's the Ace Attorney/Trauma Centre crossover we didn't know we wanted.
No, that's exactly the AA/TC crossover we always needed.
Found the Brit
you.
i like you.
Holy shit, I had a dream about this years ago
I can't help but feel that one was a HIPAA violation somehow, as well.
OBJECTION: I think you should have noticed that the only reason the man stopped eating the sandwich was because the judge called him on his cell phone to explain that his camera was on.
That part made me roar with laughter
Watching the other guy dial and then him rip his headphones out and pick up his phone, then the look of horror... priceless
@@thetableoflegend9814 You can see the exact moment where he went "Oh shit!" in his head.
That was hilarious!
The hand wave by the judge afterwards is what makes the scene.
9:48 what got me rolling was the professor calmly saying "folks make sure everyone has clothes on." As if he's reminding everyone to reread the syllabus
Lol 😂
At first I was gonna argue that I'd expect seeing people multiple times in PJs instead of being naked, but I remember that not everyone sleeps in PJs....
The cat lawyer one is so special. Everyone took it so seriously, like it genuinely felt like they were concerned the lawyer was actually a talking cat.
Guys, can you just picture the Court Stenographer having to write "I am not a cat" & putting it literally on the record! 😹
Or the doctor:
[ Defendent cuts into patient's abdomen.]
They had to do it for the congressional record with Roaring kitty’s opening statement
The sound of a toilet flushing on the record.:)
I'm go out in a limb and say that's not the weirdest thing the stenographer has ever written into an official record. Top ten? Probably
Keith Gill even made a reference during his Congressional testimony
Well the rule book does not SPECIFICLY state that a cat can't play in a baseball team.
Air Bud spinoff, here we come
Like when Lord Byron brought a pet bear to his school dorm because he couldn't have a dog, but they said nothing about bears.
It does not say anything about cats specifically. It does, however, note that any players must be registered members of their respective team, thus disqualifying most cats.
@@FishfaceTheDestroyer spray pant a number on. The cat
@@shawnschaitel838 69 lmao
Honestly the guy with the suspended license sitting in a car seems believable. If he does work at other people’s houses with his boss it’s not exactly out of the realm of possibility that he picked him up in the morning, they got to the house they’re working on then told the guy “if you have court at 10 (or whatever) then just go sit in my car and get it done”
But why would he pick the drivers seat then?
@@johan.ohgren most people would I think, I probably would’ve tbh, depends on which way the car is facing lol
@@Fetidaf If I was to appear in court over a licence or traffic violation I would not make that video conference in the drivers seat of a car, preferably not in a car at all.
@@johan.ohgren right, but if you don’t have a choice and you just get in without thinking about it since it doesn’t matter even slightly
@@johan.ohgren When you take a video with the selfie cam it flips the video on the horizontal axis and it makes it look like you are sitting in the driver's seat instead of the passenger seat. I don't think he was actually sitting in the driver's seat.
Everyone feared showing up to school naked, but Law Student dreamed it...and then he made it real.
Don't let your dreams just be dreams, Random Law Student.
Also, huge props to Deborah Davis and Jeffrey Middleton, two people questioning their decision to practice/be involved with law in Michigan.
In Barrie Ontario there was a lawyer in zoom court and his partner walked through the room naked just a couple of months ago
@@momof1576 oof. 🤦♀️
Every Michigander questions the reason they choose to do anything in Michigan. Its part of the cultural identity here at this point xD
Honestly, I wouldn't have put the abuser and victim in the same house as a fail. That was fantastic work of the prosecutor for standing up and protecting the victim. Plus the judge for handling the situation with grace. They should get a honourable mention for "Most EPIC Zoom Wins"
Plus the bailiff for sneakily calling for police to check the victim's house while everybody else was still talking. Then announced that the police were at the door. Who says bailiffs can't tackle you over Zoom
What would have been the procedure if they were both in the same courtroom physically?
If they're both called to court, they're called to court. The court is who gave the restraining order. It's the only time the two parties should ever be in the same room, even if they DO both want to be together. Put a stop on the order first, then reconcile, because you can get arrested and jailed even if the claimant says it's okay. They asked for the order, but it's the court's order. My friend is actually in jail right now because her unstable niece filed a restraining order against her for attention and later was locked out of her house by her partner for acting abusively. My friend let her into her home to use the phone and get niece willingly went in, then called the cops on her. She got 6 months. During a pandemic. It's ridiculous. But she technically broke the law.
@@johnluujl "Who says bailiffs can't tackle you over Zoom"
That is such an awesome line. Thumbs up from me for sure.
It's a fail for the abuser I believe
I just realized that the "not a cat" bit has a note that the hearing was not supposed to be recorded. Whoever ignored that is an awesome person
The judge is the one who posted it.
~~Lawyer Cat himself was not pleased.~~ Please ignore this part, left for later context.
Honestly, that seems like the only one where the person wasn’t intentionally flaunting decorum.
The judge himself posted that specific clip.
yeah I noticed that too
When LoL is more important than decorum...🤣
"I wasn't wearing a tie because I don't have one that matches my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pajamas. So unless the court would like to provide me with a Shredder tie I believe we are at an impasse."

The lawyer chowing down on his lunch made me realize what's happing in some of these. People minimize their program and they can't see anyone else, but they don't realize that their camera is still on and the other people CAN see them. Hahahaaa. That's something my wife would 100%.
Yeah
My mother probably would too. We're lucky that video chat can actually kind of work here in the first place.
Seems that doctor was setting himself up for a malpractice suit.
How does that suit compare to Indochino?
@@chrayez I hear it's A LOT more expensive.
Like I read someone say, he'll be in his court hearing while driving his car.
Feel like he did that to “impress the judge” ...
@@alexdasliebe5391 I totally believe that. Some doctors have crazy ego issues.
That prosecutor who picked up on the fact that the alleged abuser and the victim were in the same house deserves some serious recognition. That was an amazing display of good observation and good instincts.
The restraining order one was just sad--it's scary and shows the dangers of domestic violence.
But was he there with her permission? Or did he just show up and refuse to leave, and she was too scared to say anything? Because she knows what will happen after the call if she speaks up and the police might not interfere in time. Bare in mind, we don't hear her say she doesn't want the restraining order anymore. We here HIM say she doesn't want it anymore. Which is a classic abuser tactic.
@@Thehouseoffail she did NOT go back to him. Michelle clearly did not watch the actual video. He showed up at *HER* house and threatened her. You can hear it in the video when the police officer arrives, he softly asks her if he threatened her to which she whisper a very shaky yes.
@@Orion_TheyThem I had heavily suspected that was the case!
@@Orion_TheyThem good point... I should edit my comment.
@@Orion_TheyThem I actually did watch it... Sorry, it was a miswording on my part. I have edited my original post. You make a good point
I appreciate you disqualifying the racist law professor, really helped to keep the tournament fun and light-hearted
I love the look on the defense attorney's face when Deborah Davis starts pointing out that she's at the same house as the defendant. That is the look of a man who really, really wants to fire his client and be anywhere else on the planet.

I love the cat lawyer who says "I've got my assistant here," like that's not just his spouse or (more likely) his kid trying to fix the issue for him.
It was probably his grand daughter who had the filter on in the first place. Lol
@@tfodthogtmfof7644 imagine a ten year old alternating between being sorry and being amused
@@ulrichkalber9039 absolutely! “I am 😹😹😹😸 trying to 😹😹😹fix it Grandpa! 🤣😂!”
It was probably a dog...
I'm pretty sure he says "I've got my...[er]...sister here". I might be wrong.
The best observation about the Supreme Court toilet flush is that nobody was willing to admit to being the flusher or wonder aloud who did it, which means it was probably one of the justices.
I love the cat lawyer, but I was annoyed in follow up interviews that he threw his assistant under the bus.
The other lawyer waving at the lunch lawyer to inform him he's on camera is the Solicitor General of India, and it is a hearing before the Patna High Court (equivalent to a us state supreme court or a federal court of appeals). Apparently the SG asked him to send some food over
😂 amazing! Thanks for the extra info, that makes it even better!
I actually would love whatever he was eating. It looked kind of good
@@XXX3155 i think it was a dosa. It's a thin pancake made from lentil or rice batter. A staple in south India.
@@XXX3155 Looks like a paratha, but can't really tell because of the angle. Unfortunately, the Indian media was happy to just link to the video and completely failed to like interview the guy and find out what he was eating
@@Undivided_X I might have to try that someday. I've been getting butter chicken with Naan but it's about time I explored further into Indian cuisine
If you listen to the video where the victim and the offender are in the same location, the officer at the door whispers "Did he threaten you?" and she whispers back, "Yes."
Omg that’s scary
When I moved to WFH for my previous employer, I didn't even have a camera and was still neurotic someone could see me at home. These people taking Zoom calls naked are real mavericks 😂
I usually put a little piece of tape over the webcam on my laptops as well as shut it off in settings. I would take it off if I have a reason to video chat with someone.
18:21 "Recording of this hearing or livestream is prohibited"

Objection! That toilet could have been someone just sitting too close to their bathroom and someone else using it. That doctor was willfully choosing to be in the wrong. I think we need to rethink this one.
Yes!
I swear you can hear a zipper zipping though
I would give it to the Dr over the Supreme Court, but I HAVE to give it to the cat over the dr. That cat face, those cat eyes, the expressions, the voice. It’s just a masterpiece. How did that judge not have to excuse himself?
@@llamawalrushybrid Are they allowed to mute themselves I wonder? Haha it sounds the person wasn't on video at least i guess?
@@llamawalrushybrid I mean, both of them were in the emergency room.
The guy who was zooming from his x girlfriend's house had a crazy follow-up. When they tried again he had been sitting in jail, with a continued restraining order. There were new allegations: he had called her multiple times from the jail phone and threatened her to drop the accusations! Jail phones start with "this call is being recorded" so it's just insane he thought he could get away with it. The trial was just insane, he became increasingly agitated and wanted to fire his lawyer. And Middleton is just perfect.
that sort of behavior might get you locked up indefinitely in some places, after all he is a threat to society.
@@ulrichkalber9039 Yup, up in Canada, there are two special designations...."Long Term Offender", in which case, a) the convict has to do their WHOLE SENTENCE (no parole), and b) they basically spend a period of 10 years on PROBATION afterwards, with more jail time for failure to comply. And above that is "Dangerous Offender", which means the person could be locked away FOR LIFE even if their offenses don't warrant it. Now, under our own version of "Three Strikes", a third offense involving certain violent and sexual crimes reverses the onus, meaning the DEFENDANT has to prove that they deserve to avoid this designation.
@@raakone wow v interesting
And best of it all was calling his defender a "Bum-ass dude" because he wouldn't ask the victim the aggressive questions he was given. Like dude, let your attorney do his job
@@raakone That's a slippery slope that I hope you guys cotton onto before you learn the lesson from the lower-48. Prosecutors who need votes to remain in office love "tough on crime" statistics and that leads to abuses.
I mean, the "I'm not a cat" showed a good sense of humour and situational awareness IMO. If you appear to be a cat, better make the most of it.
My favorite of the cat filter one is the big “no recording allowed” message in the corner. I have questions.
Here is my late answer: Judge himself uploaded this video on his youtube channel.
Extra points to the hungry lawyer for looking left and right like if he was afraid that someone else in the room might be watching him...
Or steal his lunch.
My favorite part was that he got a call, which I'm assuming was from the other person on the zoom because he freaked out afterwards. Like he dropped everything. I just love that😄

The guy eating his lunch didnt realize he was still on zoom so the judge called him and told him lol
you can see the exact moment he realizes and jumps for the camera
I thought it was that he had logged on, but hadn't realized it had started, and was trying to sneak in a meal. Either way, that one isn't really bad, and only funny for the look on his face when he gets the call.
@@SapSapient it might have been but either way he doesn't realize zoom wasnt on and was woofing down his lunch lol
He was enjoying that sandwich like Toobin was enjoying his... Call.
Well the prosecutor called him up and the fact Solicitor general was there it was most probably the Government of India vs someone
In "A Man's Gotta Eat," the guy picks up his phone and the look on his face was priceless as he scrambled to put his food away and turn off the cam.
His eyes got really wide. 😄
10:42 major props to the prosecutor for that case recognizing that the victim was in distress and planning ahead with police in the event that something like this would happen. Abusive partners will do anything to maintain control of their victims, and honestly this isn’t the craziest story I’ve heard in this regard
Objection
"I'm not a cat" made me laugh for days, the "Supreme Court toilet flush" just made me giggle.
Comical relief aside, these illustrate how a very non-insignificant part of the legal profession is horrendously out of touch with basic contemporary technology. Hell, in my jurisdiction you need to have IT professionals on site because judges don't know how to join Zoom sessions by themselves. I've personally seen prosecutors who fail to read - much less understand - that their cellphones are not downloading WhatsApp pictures because their 1GB internal memory is full.
Tech illiteracy is a problem that tends to skew older, and since law is a profession that allows and encourages a much longer lifetime of employment/promotion, you naturally end up with an industry where most of the judges and a hefty chunk of lawyers are within the age range most likely to be partially or fully tech illiterate. Very unfortunate, though not all that shocking.
(What IS shocking is people like that law student, like my guy how are you a child of the info age and you dont understand how a webcam works))
@@jazzycat8917 Didn't realize the cam was on? idk how you reached the conclusion his understanding of how webcams work was the problem
@@jazzycat8917 I don't even know how to use my webcam. Never had a reason to use it, so I never cared to learn. It's not about when you grew up, it's about what you use and what you want to do.
I work with allegedly brilliant scientists that cannot figure out how to share their screen after a year of this. It's not that they can't learn it's that they won't because they think they're above it. There gets to be a point where it should be considered embarrassingly rude to not know how to use the basic technology to do your job. I think this is equivalent to someone in 1980 saying they don't know how to make a phone call and having their assistant always dial for them.
This is worldwide. The worst part is in general, Judges feel entitled to not learn, while everyone else in any profession must.
I'm glad we finally live in a time where cat lawyers can present cases, even if they have to lie and say they're not a cat. There will be books written about that guy some day.
*dips my quill in ink and sighs with exasperation*
*sadly opens nearly empty wallet to pay for the book*
*rips thy will in kink and sires with expectation*
"Why are people running around all day with no clothes on?!" I feel attacked.
No it's honestly weird
The fact that the cat lawyer wanted to proceed with the cat filter still on is absolutely hilarious. There’s no amount of money that I wouldn’t pay to be a fly on that wall
In defense of the sandwich guy, he didn't seem to be aware he was on camera. It looked like the judge called and told him. You can see the "oh crap!" expression as he sets down his lunch reaches for his computer/device.
Lawyers are still learning to use zoom lol
That’s easy to happen
And here I am, a 37-yr-old, taping paper over my laptop webcam and unplugging my desktop webcam when they aren't in use.
i spend the entirety of every zoom call staring at my screen making sure im not doing anything even remotely embarrassing, and even then i turn the camera off at the first chance i can. dudes out here buck-ass nude having sex without triple checking their screen is off! we exist in different worlds.
@@joshuacole6543 “You don’t have time to check your zoom when your slamming pus.” -Man who used to be a lawyer.
Absolutely this. I keep a roll of electrical tape near my computer just to keep any accidents from happening.
@@trustmeImadoc91 I keep a pad of post-its handy for the same purpose.
I use a physical cover on the webcam and opaque tape over every other camera in the vicinity, including cell phone. On Zoom I mute whenever not speaking and turn off video when my interaction is not required. It sounds like a hassle, but it reduces a LOT of stress.
Objection: The “I’m not a cat lawyer” is far and away the best - the viral laugh we all needed in 2020 and still an absolute gem 4 years on.

"...aaand that's how my wife figured out I was cheating on her with the secretary"
For my dissolution over Zoom last year, there was NO WAY I would show up in anything less than a suit and tie. My ex dressed as well as I did. The judge, broadcasting from his basement, dressed casual, but he can get away with it. I cannot comprehend why anyone would risk pissing the judge off by showing a lack of decorum.
I'll note that some small town judges are OK with everyone being dressed casually. In such venues, the local lawyers know this and basically everyone dresses casually. Someone who attended such a trial in a suit and tie would come across as being overly formal, which could have a negative impact on how they are perceived by the judge and by the jury.
Mind you, I believe this is incredibly rare.
Prosecutor Davis is a heckin hero, you can tell by the worry mixed with relief on her face when the domestic abuser appeared on the victim's stream the she had real care and concern for her safety.
"I'm not a cat."
That's exactly what a cat impurrsonating a lawyer would say!
I love that the Indochino running gag is so well integrated on this channel that I did not at all suspect they sponsored this episode.
Running gag? It is just his favorite sponsor.
But... I mean, he said it was sponsored by Indochino at the beginning of the video, before any gags.
@@RabblesTheBinx wait for real? I totally forgot lol 😂
I love how offended Devin is that people are running around all day without pants.
Side note: please remember as the person who Hosts the zoom call, you can mute and turn off video feed of people in the call. Which seems like it would have been REALLY helpful information in some of these situations.
Yet we don't know if HE has pants on.....
Legal Eagle fails?
Jk
I know. I feel called out.
imagine being a reporter for the ffing Supreme Court and having to write in the middle of a bunch of boring testimony *toilet flushes.*
This is why I have tape over my camera and anxiety over my mic being on.
Prosecutor Deborah Davis deserves a reward, too. Keeping it together doing CoVID even though the defense is clearly falling apart.
Deb Davis may not win but she is da real MVP.
Never imagined the fourth place team would get the unanimous tournament MVP but here we are.
Michigan can always step up when we need to. :)
Yeah she is my pick
The “I’m not a cat” one is ridiculously hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣😩😩😩
He’s really like the parent who can’t figure out how to take pictures on their cell phone lol

The abuser one, when the prosecutor says that you can see the cop in the zoom think for half a second, realize she's right, and super slyly calling it in.
"The recording of this hearing or streaming is prohibited" - recording becomes a world wide shared meme
It was released by the judge on his Tweeter account (just the clip of the cat ~ 1 minute).
Potential lawsuit for breach of privacy!
@@richardpowell3266 Nah. If you see the whole story, the cat-lawyer himself thought it was hilarious and a good teaching moment for others with little consequence for himself beside his Warhol-mandated 15 minutes and a bit.
As time goes on that's going to be harder and harder to enforce...
1:27 Wait: "Recording of this heating or live stream is prohibited". So what happened to the person who recorded the meeting?
Good point.
The Judge is the one who released it and he’s exempt from the rule cause it’s his courtroom.
One of our best criminal law professors was quite a funny dude, but he really liked to be "practical" about his methods. When we had the section about robbery, which needs under German law the use of force, he brought a large kitchen knife with him and waived it around in front of the students. Basically, arguing that this would be the best way to give an impression of psychological force (so, not using the knife, but threatening with it). The guy with the gun reminded me of him.
Morale of the story
Wear pants
Be professional
And most importantly
Don't be a Floridia Man during office hours
*Moral
@@Ertwin123 Or: Take more care what is visible on camera :D
@@umountable that too
but can i do surgery to a cat while on the toilet
Florida man is a way of life. They're always gunna Florida man.
In the eating one, it's an Indian lawyer in front of the solicitor general of India and the SGI actually calls the lawyer and asks him to send some food over
That's hilarious! The lawyer's face when he answered the phone call was priceless, too!
@@hughquigley5337 indeed
The "I'm Not A Cat" video will always be #1 for me.
I would have gone with "I'm still not a cat". It was my favorite 🤣
I'm DYING at the Civ Pro one bc dude got called out by the professor in front of the whole class!! Lmao!! 😂😂
Ben!
I'm convinced he knew exactly what he was doing.
We know there are guys who find an opportunity to flaunt their junk simply irresistible.
Occam tells me that's more likely than him accidently leaving the video on, but muting everyone else.
If his manhood was loftier than his GPA, the cost/benefit analysis may have worked out for him.
@@Zomby_Woof It was a complete accident and was the first zoom class of the pandemic.
@@aeis3007 He was accidentally naked?
@@SJMcK so if you don't log into the class on time you could get an absent, think 4 is a F for the class, zoom rules were unclear. So he signed in before being ready and thought his camera was off.
Judge Middleton is an absolute legend! After all this I doubt there is anything that would surprise him. 🤣
Judge Middleton just seems like the guy who’s been keeping up with the roller coaster that was 2020, and has thus seen such much bull crap that nothing surprises him anymore.
11:10 notably, he was on the woman’s zoom camera there. Both had turned off their cameras when the police arrived and then the others at the court gasped when the guy confirmed he was in the same house by he showed up on the woman’s camera.
10:04 "Why are people just running around all day without clothes on?"
ME, watching this fresh out of the shower: 😳👀
“I’m not a cat” is still my favorite 😹
My lawyer just said that I should wear a suit to court. He didn't say it couldn't be my birthday suit!
15:19 I love how you used Lawyer Speak to clean that up but still firmly agree.
Thank you to Dr. Mike for collabing with LegalEagle cause now it's literally my favorite channel! (Sorry Dr. Mike!)
The "getting it on" lawyer is flouting regulations. Probably not flaunting them. What they are flaunting is something else.
Yea, this word misuse has been my pandemic pet peeve. I've seen it printed in newspapers and newscasters have talked about folks flaunting rules. Where are the editors?!
They're not shamelessly showing off the rules. They are flouting the rules- openly defying them. I said a quiet sad "nooooo" when I heard Legal Eagle say it.
The guy who claimed to not be in a car reminds me of the day I took my driver's test at age 16. The car next to me had another teen in it, and the guy giving the test came to my window first and told me I was next after the other kid. So off goes the test-giver, to start the usual inspection of lights and whatnot. I'm busy trying not to freak out from anxiety, but before long he's walking by my window again and says, "Nevermind, I'll be with you shortly." He's got the kid walking with him and they go back into the DMV.
When the test-giver comes back out, he gets in my car after doing the initial lights test and says, "Yeah, so, that guy has expired tags and when I went to find out who'd driven him here, it appears he drove himself. He's here for his driving test for his license too... he doesn't have one." Oopsie!
Damn, when I took my license I met another guy who asked me what the speed limit was. Don't know if he got his license.
Around here, the test is always in the driving instructor's training car (which has extra supervisor controls in the passenger seat, allowing the teacher or test officer to stop the vehicle). So no option of using your own car, but still possible to illegally drive yourself to the DMV.
It's amazing that I, who has had almost no courtroom experience outside of jury selection, knew enough to wear a simple button up shirt and not eat when appearing before a judge via Zoom for my name change hearing. And yet these professionals . . .
My friend said he was in a court hearing and all of a sudden he heard a scream. He needed a recess cause there was a Home Alone stunt fail.
All these naked zoomers is why I don't sit on other people's sofas and computer chairs and why no one should on mine
Was gonna like but didn't want to ruin the 69 likes.
@@71.218-westshed Nice.
Let it be noted that Devin James Stone could totally appear at a Zoom court hearing shirtless, and everyone would thank him.
with indiechino briefs
OMG it's *insane* how handsome he is.
Preach!!
100 percent!
kinda miffed that the supreme court toilet got so far on clout alone. the fluke itself wasn't that big of a deal outside of the perception of perfection that goes along with the scotus
