It's more about the barring and the official censure. A couple grand doesn't mean much A judicial beatdown is professionally damaging.
And since it's federal court, being barred from that courtroom is a real blow. It's not like they can just focus on the next city or county over.
Couldn't they just go to other courtrooms in that courthouse? There's going to be a few to a few dozen
They're barred from presenting federal cases in the Northern District of Mississippi. That covers all federal cases for 36 counties - half the state.
Oh. Then they're not barred from just "that courtroom"
They're barred from that court, which is the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi.
They're not barred from State, County, or Municipal courts, or from other federal courts because the judge only has control over their District.
If the other room is not federal maybe? They mean being barred from the federal courtroom the lawyers can't practice law in federal court.
