I love to watch the court programs on TV. I am a fan of Judge Mathis, Judge Judy, Judge Joe Brown, Judge Christina, The People’s Court, etc. While people want to win their case, I have seen some very inappropriate behaviors which diminish their credibility. It has come to my attention that people, particularly young people, have no clue as to how to act in a court of law, even if it is on TV. So in an effort to help people stop making a fool of themselves in TV court or any court, I have developed some guidelines.
1. Dress appropriately – Remember the 3 Bs – no boobs, belly or butt should be showing. Conservative dress is best. For men a suit and tie are best - at least an ironed shirt with a tie and long pants. For women a suit or dress and heels are best – something that covers the body but not too tightly.
2. Address the Judge as “Your Honor” or Judge (last name).
3. Do not try to talk at the same time the Judge is speaking. Pay attention to the questions asked by the Judge and answer appropriately.
4. Watch your body language. Do not roll your eyes, wave hands or clinch fists. If
nervous,hold on to the podium.
5. Never walk out before you are dismissed.
6. Bring all your documentation relevant to your case.
7. Never use curse words.
8. Do not argue with another person in front of the Judge.
9. Stop talking when the Judge tells you to stop talking.
If you want to win your case, project an image of respect for the court. Understand the image you project impacts your credibility.
