when a judge gets woken up at two in the morning to deal with your bullshit it is generally advisable to stop producing new bullshit such that they can get some sleep at some point the next day
Solid evidence that judges get harsh just before lunchtime, guess I’ll go break the law at 2am

on one hand, I've seen people argue that the effect size in those studies is way too large and they're explained by judges scheduling cases just before lunch when a harsh outcome is likely
on the other, I bet a study on "woke the judge at 2 am with my bullshit" would yield a very large effect size
