If a judge wants a particular result, he issues an order. He doesn’t need a signature. If the order isn’t obeyed, he can toss someone in the pokey for contempt.

Lawyer question.

What is the Rule or statute allowing the judge to demand one sign an agreement to not appeal, or one stays in jail until one does sign?

I support resisting paying the verdict. I support suing the judge, the sheriff, the opposing lawyer, the purchaser of seized property, and so on.

This is the path to tort reform, resistance to the end. Let every verdict put the adversary through this process.
