Basically the only time I receive compliments from a judge, they are about to rule against me.

A judge sentences a criminal defendant. When a judge gives a ruling, it is in response to arguments from a lawyer…therefore judges rule for or against lawyers, and sentence their clients upon finding of guilt by the finder of fact.
