He could hold you in contempt of court.

When I got married a lot of people didn't turn up, I was a little disappointed but fully understood that the world does not revolve around me. Anyone who has their head out of the clouds will be ok about it as long as you let them know in advance that you won't be attending. I was a bit annoyed that a few people didn't do that for me & a lot of food was wasted because of it.

No.  At this point you'll have to wait.  It may be that the judge is waiting for some outside information.  If it gets past a month beyond the 10-14 day deadline the judge set, you may be able to petition the court to render a decision, but if you do that, you may draw the ire of the judge.

Here's another thing to think about...while some judges CAN be bought, they aren't even the real problem. The philosophy for being a judge is to have no political affiliate, to be fair and impartial, to listen to the merits of each case seperately and as presented. But some judges, especially a couple of new Supreme Court Justices, do not feel the need to represent the law, leaving their political views outside their courtrooms. Worse than one crooked judge in a million, is the zealot who believes it is his or her responsibility to "fix" what he or she believes is wrong in the world - and now has the power to do that! Scary stuff.

I think people are too sue happy. I hope he doesnt lose a single case. I hope the judge tells everyone to lighten up and learn to live with a joke.

1.  If you don't have an attorney, hire one.  It may be that you are doing something incorrectly and the judge can not under the law do what you want because you are not following some procedural rule.\n2.  If that's not the problem, every state has a formal judicial oversight  board/commission or something.  Usually its attached in some way to the state's highest court.  Go to your state's highest court's website and see if there is a link.\n3.   Alternative: Go to your state's Bar's web site see if there is a link, if not, contact the Bar's complaint line and the operator will be happy to refer you over to the judicial board.

Dress for success and be very honest, documentation , to support you arguments,look judge directly in eye, when answering questions or addressing the court,try not to be emotional

You could appear and explain the situation, and HOPE for a reduced fine. Since you say you don't "think" it's you, I would say a judge may think you are trying to get out of paying the ticket and tell you to take a hike (after paying)

I am not sure your exact situation but I know its not your job to do anything other then what the judge says (interperating fact and then applying fact to legal principles) even if it turns to a crappy result... Dont feel bad about it its not your fault or your job to worry about why someone has the better side... You can only see what you see (and its this design that makes the system work)

If you choose not to respond to a subpoena, the party issuing the subpoena can ask the judge to order you to show cause on why you should not be held in contempt of court.  This doesn't sound like that big of a deal, but they don't ask you to come to court a second time.....  Get it?  They come for you wherever you are, whatever you're doing, whoever you're with.  It's all irrelevant, they slap the cuffs on and haul you in.\n\nThis isn't actually to say that the judge will order the show cause, but most will because our system would break down if every person subpoenaed snubbed the systerm.\n\nI'd go or call the attorney who issued it and ask to be put on telephone standby.  Most of us will do that since we understand you have to make a living.

ANYTHING that makes u feel uncomfortable.  That is what holds up in court, not my opinion.

Turn youself in. Recieve judgemnt from the judge. Then travel accordingly.

yea... your best bet is to contact the court.  And it depends on the state whether or not its manditatory to show up or not.  Chances are if you don't show up the judge will issue a bench warrant for you in that state.  So... it's in your best interest to show up for court.  Especially since you were FLYING!

Great question. Remember the judge that gave the guy probation after raping a 9 yr old girl saying he was of small stature and would not survive in prison. I think the judges in this country are not following the law. They are following their own value system. A good example is the 9th circuit court of appeals.

You risk being arrested for contempt of court

Yep. Small claims. They will have to show up and they probably do not have the time so usually just the threat of court will be enough.  If they don't show, you win automatically.  I took my landlord to court and it was very satisfying to see him squirm in front of the judge.  That was worth more than the money he had to pay me!

Judges have the discretion of issuing sua sponte orders in circumstances where justice requires such orders. Sometimes a judge will recognize a situation that the lawyers don't and will rule accordingly. Other times, judges are just throwing their weight around and making it known to the litigants.
