It wasn't Judith Law's most prudent action when she invited Circuit Judge Diane Goodstein to kiss her butt, even though the Judge wasn't present at the time. In September 2005, Law admitted violating her probation, which resulted in Goodstein reinstating the five-year sentence.

When signing the probation revocation order, Law's frustration caused her to tell the judge what she could kiss. Under normal circumstances the document would not go back to the judge, but when this one did and Judge Goodstein ordered a hearing. Law was found in contempt and sentenced to 90 days on top of her remaining sentence.

Law challenged the ruling, saying the contemptuous behavior did not happen in the Judge's presence, but the appeals court responded to Law's challenge thus: "No matter where Law signed the revocation order, her conduct was in the presence of the judge."

Oh dear - It seems that, in the case, Law really was an ass!
