“Apy, so if my rav says I can boil water on Shabbos morning for my coffee, I should listen?”
ctlawyer “Yes, you should listen, that’s only polite.”
He did not mean to ask- should he literally listen, and let the words hit his ear-drums. He meant should he listen to him i.e. should he follow him.

“I’m a lawyer, often I hear a judge make a ruling from the bench that I know is wrong. That’s what appeals courts are for.”
Wow, I’m sure your clients are fine with that like you are- risking going to an appeals court and laying out more money for a lawyer. Thats why the Torah says we should not fear before any man (i.e. speak up in court if you know something is wrong).
Plus,I think this statement needs a “lehavdeel” thrown in there.
