I do wonder how judges end up with with the authority to make courthouse regulations that appear to clash with state law.

Simple. Appeals can cost twice as much as the original court case, and the one appealing the judge's decision foots the bill.

One solution might be to have the judge foot the bill if their decision is overturned in any manner by a higher court. I think that would constitute some serious incentive to get it right the first time. Fat chance of getting this into legislation, though. The gubbermint protects its own.
