Big Gavel Energy, abbreviated B.G.E., is the judicial equivalent of Big Dick Energy. A judge with B.G.E. exudes effortless poise, confidence, and equanimity because they wield a Big Gavel with composure and ease. Even more importantly, a jurist blessed with B.G.E. is never afraid to make the decision that they think is best, even when it might be an unpopular decision.
"Wow, did you see how Judge Jones ruled against that big corporation today? She really brought the Big Gavel Energy."
"I hope Judge Smith uses some of his usual Big Gavel Energy to issue an opinion excoriating my opponent after this oral argument."
"Judge Miller has a powerful presence in the courtroom: she's perennially unbothered and emanates Big Gavel Energy."
