So, you're on your way to court, for whatever the reason may be.
00:05
Don't worry, we're not the judge.
00:07
We're just here to tell you what to actually expect when going to court, courtesy of LegalYou.
00:13
Before you're questioned, you may have some questions of your own.
00:17
Like, is it okay to bring a bottle of water in?
00:20
How about food?
00:22
What absolutely should not be in my pockets?
00:25
Is it better to not have pockets?
00:27
How long am I going to have to wait?
00:29
In short, what are the practical things you need to know for your first day in court?
00:34
First things first.
00:35
Here's a basic rundown of what to expect when you enter the Halls of Justice.
00:42
Sorry, allergies.
00:45
Anyway, you walk in and there will be a screening station of some kind.
00:49
Like at the airport, sort of.
00:52
This is where court security officers will stop you and check the contents of your purse, briefcase, or whatever bag you decide to use.
00:59
Most often, they will run the contents through an x-ray machine, while you walk through a metal detector.
01:05
Under no circumstances should you bring a weapon into court of any kind.
01:10
There is no video or audio recording devices allowed, and no photography.
01:15
That's why in federal court you can't bring a cell phone, because of the camera.
01:20
However, in state court you can.
01:22
But in both courts, no food or drink is allowed, although you generally can bring in a bottle of water.
01:28
Anything that will disrupt the court proceedings is also prohibited.
01:32
Think things out long beforehand.
01:34
If you bring something that won't be allowed in, there isn't some storage space to keep it.
01:38
Even though you might have to wait for a while before your case is called, do not be late.
01:43
If for some crazy reason you are late, then make sure to call the judge's assistant to let them know.
01:49
It is also polite to call the person on the other side, or their attorney.
01:53
This doesn't mean it will be excused, but it can only help your cause.
01:58
Once you arrive, make sure you head to the right courtroom, look for signs, or ask the deputy running security.
02:04
When there, wait patiently for your case to be called.
02:07
Don't be disruptive or disrespectful.
02:10
Once it's your time in front of the judge, follow as instructed, and proceed with the case at hand.
02:16
Just remember, as a taxpayer and citizen, the courts are part of your government, and they are there to help you resolve problems.
02:23
Don't be afraid to use them.
02:25
You can do this.
