In advocacy, if your court manners are decent, the clients as well as judges remember you for many many years.

About clients I know this fact since many years, but regarding memories of judges, I learned this lesson only today.

During 1982 to 1986, I had practiced in District Court Junagadh. In small cases I had appeared before many civil judges there.

Today, one of these judges called me . He said now he is 75 years old and he is practising in High Court.

One of his client had some work. So he immediately remembered my name and called up me to refer his client.

He said he remembers me very well as I had appeared before him in many cases.

The Judge remembered me after 35 years. During all these we had never any interaction. I could not remember the judge but he remembers me well even after 35 years.

This point is about memories of judges. Whether we behave good or bad in their courts, they remember us for many years. They have long term memories about advocates.
