1. My father was a federal judge (NLRB)

They pretty much get to run their courtroom how they seem fit, with some limitations (No Judge Judy foolishness)
The judge has wide latitude on a lot of matters.

Watch 'My Cousin Vinny'. I think it was written by an attorney. It's shown at John Jay College to law students to give them a good understanding of what courtroom procedure is like.
