Overheard in court

Judge: So let me get this straight. This is a [case of a particular procedural posture in which the court sits as a reviewing body.]
Lawyer: Yes.
Judge: And I need to review the record that was considered by the [nonjudicial commission]?
Layer: Yes.
Judge: And if I cannot find evidence in that record that supports the decision that you're here seeking review on, you win.
Lawyer: Yes.
Judge: Then explain to me this: why are you the party seeking to add [voluminous documents] to the record???
Lawyer: *crickets*
