so I'm in court for work

I had a couple judges for litigation courses and they made it real clear the high level of professionalism and courtesy they expected. It's just poor form to be rude period, but especially to a judge.

I've seen some people be dicks to our judges and its just shooting yourself in the foot. One guy asked that the record reflect that the judge snickered/smiled at a comment made by the witness he was cross examining. And then went on to opine, for the record, that the judge's reaction was why "the officers think they can get away with disrespectful behavior in his court room." That went well, let me tell you.

I am pretty casual with our judges and joke around with them, etc. but I only go in front of three judges and see them all several times per week.
