Photo by Larry Valenzuela for CalMattersAre lawyers blaming an escalation in rude courtroom behavior on legal TV shows? Yes, a little. The legal profession in California is in the midst of a “scourge of incivility,”in response to a barrage of complaints.

Mandatory courses would educate attorneys about “the economic and human costs of incivility” and advise them on correcting their own behavior and the behavior of others.
The misguided: misbehavers who perhaps just need enlightenment. “These folks are our targets. They are the ones we will proselytize with the gospel of civility,” the report offered.Farmworkers pick melons in the early morning hours in Huron on Sept. 18, 2018. Photo by Marcio Jose Sanchez, AP Photo
