The Holy One, blessed be He, gave this commandment to Israel so that they should rejoice with their lulavim like a person who comes out from before the judge acquitted, and he is happy" - Tosefot Yom Tov, Tractate Sukkah, chapter 3; also: "Just as the disease had spread, so when they stood in judgment they would insult and curse one another before the sage, and heaven forbid that he should disgrace the sage when he is acquitted in court" - Pele Yoetz, letter Mem, Mishpat ve-Din; and also: "Like a man who had been anxious and confused because he had been summoned to a complicated and difficult trial and was acquitted in his case" - Y. Burla, Kisufim, 83; and also: "After half a year, father was acquitted in his case and the sunshine of the court knocked on our house's door..." - Haim Be'er, Noẓot, 24).
