A:
In California, appellate courts are expected to maintain a high standard of professionalism and impartiality. If judges exhibited inappropriate behavior, such as laughing at a party or displaying a lack of respect, this could raise serious concerns about judicial misconduct and the fairness of the hearing.
If you believe that the judges at your appellate hearing acted inappropriately or that they relied on outdated or inapplicable law in their decision, you have the option to pursue further legal action. This could include filing a motion for reconsideration in the appellate court or potentially seeking review by the California Supreme Court, although these options have strict procedural rules and timelines.
Additionally, you can report concerns about judicial conduct to the California Commission on Judicial Performance, the state agency responsible for investigating complaints of judicial misconduct. It is important to document any instances of perceived misconduct or unfair treatment during the hearing.
Given the complexity of appellate procedures and the seriousness of your concerns, it may be beneficial to seek legal advice. An attorney with experience in appellate law can provide guidance on the most appropriate course of action in your situation and help ensure that your rights are protected throughout the legal process.
