A quick definition of judicial contempt:

Judicial contempt is when someone disobeys or shows disrespect to a court or legislature. This is bad because it can interfere with the justice system. If someone is found guilty of judicial contempt, they can be punished with a fine or even imprisonment. There are two types of judicial contempt: civil and criminal. Civil contempt is when someone fails to follow a court order that was meant to help someone else, and they can be put in jail until they comply. Criminal contempt is when someone does something that obstructs justice or attacks the integrity of the court, and they can be punished with a fine or imprisonment.

A more thorough explanation:

Judicial contempt is a type of contempt that refers to conduct that defies the authority or dignity of a court or legislature. This conduct interferes with the administration of justice and is punishable by fine or imprisonment.

For example, if a person disobeys a court order, they can be held in judicial contempt. This can include refusing to answer a question in court or disrupting court proceedings with disorderly behavior or insolent language.

There are two types of judicial contempt: civil contempt and criminal contempt. Civil contempt is the failure to obey a court order that was issued for another party's benefit. The usual sanction is to confine the contemnor until he or she complies with the court order. Criminal contempt, on the other hand, is an act that obstructs justice or attacks the integrity of the court. The purpose of criminal-contempt proceedings is to punish repeated or aggravated failure to comply with a court order.

Overall, judicial contempt is a serious offense that can result in fines or imprisonment. It is important to respect the authority of the court and follow court orders to avoid being held in contempt.
