Bill commented "The attorney may blame the judge, but I suspect it is the attorney who has the issue. I would suggest looking for new counsel."
Fred's answer: That's rarely an option when you are dealing with in-house counsel.
And John Montaņa said "The judge does not have unfettered discretion to admit or not admit as he sees fit. So, if you have a petulant judge that is being difficult and contrary about the admissibility of something, you are at a decision point and have to decide whether or not the controversy and the record in question are worth getting into a fight about. Sometimes they are and sometimes they aren't."
Fred's answer: again, the attorneys with whom I've discussed simply don't want to get into a fight. Admissibility is not the issue. Getting on a judge's bad side is.
