Lawyer Gets Overly Familiar With Judge, Hilarity Ensues – Above the Law

There
are
only
24
hours
in
a
day,
and
so,
in
order
to
get
the
most
out
of
that
limited
time,
lots
of
lawyers
resort
to
multitasking.
It
might
be
efficient,
but
you’re
not
always
paying
the
perfect
attention
to
every
single
detail.
You’ve
jut
gotta
cross
your
fingers
that
nothing
too
bad
slips
through
the
cracks.

Because
it
would
be
suuuper
embarrassing
if
you
were
so
distracted
that
you
inadvertently
called
someone
who
has
not
your
significant
other
“babe.”
And
it
would
be
even
worse
if
that
person
you
casually
called
babe
(who,
again,
is
*not*
your
babe)
was
in
a
position
of
authority,
like
a
judge.
And
it
would
be
absolutely
mortifying
if
you
did
it
while
a
court
reporter
was
recording
every
single
word
said
and
there
was
a
record
of
your
snafu.
And
if
that
permanent
record
of
your
mistake
went
viral
on
social
media…

That
would
just
be
awful.
