SERENO, C.J. |
||||
| A Judge should be considerate, courteous and civil to all persons who come to his court,[33] viz: It is reprehensible for a judge to humiliate a lawyer, litigant or witness. The act betrays lack of patience, prudence and restraint. Thus, a judge must at all times be temperate in his language. He must choose his words, written or spoken, with utmost care and sufficient control. The wise and just man is esteemed for his discernment. Pleasing speech increases his persuasiveness.[34] | |||||
