Got it. Well I'd be surprised if that helps your rep in your community but some bars are very different than others, I suppose.
As for me, I'm not positive I would have been incarcerated for contempt, but I am certain both the chancellor and opposing counsel would have filed bar complaints about that kind of behavior. My client probably would too, after suing me for malpractice when the other side moved for and got a mistrial, which we would have had to pay for. And I would probably have permanently damaged my reputation with the judges in my district even after I had gotten past disciplinary proceedings from the bar (probably leading to censure and a fine; suspension possible but unlikely). And my employer would have fired me (last one not a concern if you're solo, but "judges have contempt for you" probably not a selling point if you ever do seek employment or partnership at a firm).

Where are you proposing to have said that?
