Supreme Court of Canada Justice Ian Binnie shares this insight on how the courtroom looks from the "other" side of the bench:
“The argument takes place and everybody gets engaged and worked up and there are questions and debates and controversy; then, the case concludes,” he said. “There is this great shifting of the load. The lawyers walk out free as a bird – they have done their thing. As far as they are concerned, the thing is in the can and they can go off for a slap-up lunch. But the judges drag themselves out of court, carrying this huge burden of how they are going to decide the case.”
