You&#x27;re getting downvoted, but I agree with you.<p>I think the problem is that people don&#x27;t have respect for the system. The judge isn&#x27;t the system, he&#x27;s only one part of it, yet the author projects his lack of respect for the system onto the judge. Calling him &quot;your honor&quot; is a part reminding people, hey, we all need to be on our best behavior and be respectful.<p>Respect is something very lacking in society today.
