I was on a jury for a civil case, a lawyer sued another lawyer trying to get a finders fee for a case he claimed he referred. The whole time the judge was annoyed they didn’t settle out of court and it was all over in about 2 days.

    I wouldn’t want to hire either of those lawyers. I have virtually no legal experience, but even someone as inexperienced as me knows that judges absolutely hate having their time wasted. The judge was rightfully annoyed. If the lawyers were too pompous/stubborn/stupid to settle, I’d be annoyed, too.
