It is up to the Court's discretion to sanction those before it. I would proceed with caution. If you take exception to something, file a response or motion. The old adage says, one who defends himself has a fool for a client. It is just very difficult to be objective. Good luck.

Most statements made in court papers are not something that can form a basis for defamation claims.

you can file a civil suit for slander/defamation of character but you need to be able to prove it and it is still a long shot. I would start by finding out if the court proceedings were recorded and/or you can obtain the minutes to provide documentation. Court documents are sword affidavits of statement and they clearly have a section swearing to the validity and truth of such statements which you must sign but you are dealing with what an attorney said not an individual therefore you need the documents or proof i suggested.
