Having been a DDJ for 25 years I can recall being warned against “Judgeitis” at my induction course and being told that Judges have a responsibility to protect young advocates. Over the years in practice I came across my fair share of “difficult” judges but I could usually cope. But many years ago a young colleague came back to the office in tears after a dreadful encounter with a bullying judge. I went to see the judge in question who was mortified.
There can be no excuse for such behaviour.
