It does matter. You would be stupid to just let it go at that.

If you are prepared, present well and ask all the right questions it should
not be a problem. There are some crooked judges out there, but I luckily
have not run into any of them. Of course I luckily have very limited
experience in court.

Impossilbe, even.

True. It's a lot worse if you don't.
