Judge Pompous Issues an Order Requiring Anyone Attending a Trial

Question 27

True/False

Judge Pompous issues an order requiring anyone attending a trial to submit all written materials to the bailiff after the trial, so the material can be photocopied and checked for errors. Rag reporter Scoop Story knows the order is far beyond the judge's authority, so he ignores it without appealing it. Sure enough, Pompous finds Story guilty of contempt of court. Story then appeals the case. The appeals court, following precedent, will find the order unconstitutional and will overrule the contempt citation. Because Pompous's order was inappropriate, Story is not required to abide by it.
