What is the court etiquette? How do I act in court?
Court etiquette includes dressing appropriately for court. Do not eat or drink in the courtroom. There are no cell phones or pagers allowed in the courtroom. There may be other cases called before your case. The municipal court is a court of record so pelase be quiet and patient so that a good recording is made. If you are wearing a hat, please remove it in the courtroom. When the judge calls your name, step up to the podium and speak clearly into the microphone. Do not speak unless the judge or lawyer asks you to. If you do not understand, be sure to tell the judge that you do not understand.
