Freeing a Judge from Ignorance of the Law

Yesterday I worked liked I never worked before to free a client--within the legal parameters--from being arrested. The Municipal Trial Court judge has warned her of an automatic issuance of a warrant of arrest upon receipt of the information from the prosecutor's office.

I have a vague nottion that her case which involves issuance of a bounced check doesn't automatically entail arrest under the new procedure. After a frantic research I found the law and Supreme Court resolution I needed to free my client. My Urgent Manifestation was ready before the end of the day.

To be able to save my client, my more daunting task now is how to free the Honorable Judge from her ignorance of the law.
