I few months ago I was in court, I was suing 2 related parties and I was pro-se. One of the lawyers of one of the defendants lied 3 times in front of the judge, when I called him upon it, the judge didn't bling.

This was civil court, not small claims.

Oh well.

[mcherm]

Was there clear and obvious evidence of the lies, or was it largely your testimony?

If there was clear and obvious evidence of the lies then you can submit a complaint to the bar (or whatever the disciplinary body is for lawyers in your state). The judge is NOT actually the one with the authority to enforce these professional obligations.

[paxys]

The judge doesn't enforce professional obligations but absolutely enforces perjury. Of course the real question is why was the lawyer testifying at all?

[matthewheath]

It doesn't sound like the lawyer was testifying? They can certainly lie in their presentation of the case, during summing up, etc.

[beervirus]

What sort of lies?

> when I called him upon it, the judge didn't bling.

Now I'm imagining that judge getting presented with evidence the defence lawyer is lying to them, and whipping out a chunky gold chain and a diamond encrusted grill...
