I find it irritating when the lawyers are condescending and rude, like if that psychologist lady asks for clarification on what page or line she should be reading from, Elaine talks to her like she's a dumbass child.

I wonder how that plays with the judge and the jury - if it's standard or ignored or if they dislike it too

Oh, no. That's another reason Elaine is awful. You are performing in front of the jury and you want to come across as professional and like you're being genuine. The jury has already formulated their opinion on Elaine and the rest of the attorneys, likely.

Like if someone is rude to you, how much more likely are you to listen to what they have to say? TRE mentioned meta when I was talking about how the parties looked, and it extends here too. Every little bit matters.
