    I believe these lawyers do it as a show for their potential mob clients. They want to demonstrate that they are loyal to the client not the court, will employ tricks like delay tactics to turn the court in their favor, maximizing the pressure for the opponent to drop the case due to costs mounted by this waste of time at court, etc.
