As a lawyer, this situation is likely to happen, but don't worry, calm down. This may be due to the following reasons:
1, criminal trial.
As a lawyer, the other party is the prosecutor or the victim. I don't need to say more about this. I need to control my emotions and keep a calm mind and a stable tone during the trial. Lawyers are only agents, and it is good to express their views peacefully, but some lawyers take care of their clients' emotional needs.
Saying something that has no substantive effect on the trial of the case but is very useful to the parties, especially repeated, may cause the judge to resent it. Preference for the other party may be manifested in tone and venting emotions. Don't worry about this. Lawyers are sensitive, fragile but extremely tough.
2. In ordinary civil cases, it is possible that the other party has not entrusted a lawyer.
Is it possible? Very likely! If both parties entrust an agent in court, the judge need not say more, and the procedure will be completed step by step. Most lawyers are still very professional and standardized. Even if the parties who appear in court together are puzzled, lawyers can do some explanation work to reduce the workload of judges.
If a party does not entrust an agent, he may not even know the most basic trial procedure and the "three characteristics" of evidence, and he has no concept of what cross-examination is. At this time, the judge will be extremely patient, and if he doesn't understand, he will explain it in popular language. Moreover, he may be nervous because the other party is going to court for the first time, and the judge will calm his emotions from time to time to fully protect the other party's right to express his views.
So the trial must be very long. Therefore, in order to avoid wasting time, as a lawyer, I may take appropriate measures to shorten my speech time, put forward my own opinions without elaborating, avoid reading the laws in the original text, and submit my written opinions as soon as possible after the trial. Believe me, even if the judge is biased towards the other side.
But I will still secretly admire your professional attitude-after all, everyone's time is precious, so I will set an example and don't waste it.
3. It is also possible that the claims put forward by the other party are not supported by reliable evidence.
Judges try cases on the basis of facts and take the law as the criterion. But this "fact" refers to the legal fact, that is, the fact that needs corresponding evidence, not the "objective fact" that people think.
It's simple. You just need to convince the judge with evidence in the trial. But many people don't understand why I went to court and sentenced me to pay for it when I clearly borrowed money/lost money. It is too dark! But have you ever thought that your evidence can't support your claim? It's simple. Private lending disputes need evidence to prove that there is a lending relationship between the two parties.
Lenders must prove that they have completed their lending obligations. Many people actually have no awareness of retaining evidence, and they can't wait to take a screenshot of WeChat transfer to go to court. Therefore, in the details of evidence, the judge is likely to be biased towards the other party and cross-examine the details as much as possible to restore the facts of the case to the greatest extent.
Believe me, at this time, as a lawyer, the more accurate the grasp of the details of the case, the more detailed the answers to the questions raised by the judge, and the clarity and organization of the evidence are the key to grasp the whole litigation case.
4. It is not excluded that some judges may have some problems. For example, in my trial, when the other party did not entrust a lawyer, the judge frequently hinted that the other party could use the statute of limitations to defend. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and interrupted the judge in time, and the other party didn't understand, otherwise it would be very bad for our results. If so, we really need to consider other remedial measures.
