KNOW THE JUDGE

Topic:
"KNOW THE JUDGE"
A Good lawyer tries to learn as much as possible about the judge who Will decide the case.
I would recommend you know the judicial mind or philosophy of the judge.
Is he the judge who follows text or is moved by the purpose or object of the law?
Does the judge prefer precedents or original Arguments?
Is he liberal or conservative?
You can find this by reading from time to time the judges' opinion expressed in their judgments.
Knowing the judge also means understanding his attitude towards life and society, is he liberal,compassionate and open minded or conservative and strict who believes that law is blind?
In the later case your job will be to persuade h " that_ though the law is blind, you r not."
If u r not fortunate to get an appropriate court( Judge) to hear the case, then adjust your arguments and presentation accordingly. It is Reported that when a barrister was appearing for a trading company in a case where his client (company)was accused of some misdemeanor and the judge was known to be a very religious ( a conservative Catholic) the barrister opened his case by saying " my Lord's, i represent a God fearing and religious company"
The judge interpreted him to say how can a corporate body like your client be called religious"
Sharp came the reply No doubt my Lord's but the majority of the executives are regular church goers and great philanthropists" Hmmmm was the reaction of the judge
Conclusion:
"The Advocates may face wrath of judges who have got out of bed from the wrong side."
