Dressing for Court
If you are appearing in court, you should dress nicely and in a manner that shows respect for the court. Here are some things you should
not wear:
- Hats inside the courtroom (except those worn for religious purposes)
- Sunglasses
- T-shirts depicting violence, profanity, or illegal drugs
- Tube or halter tops / plunging necklines / midriffs
- Ripped or torn jeans
- Mini skirts or shorts
- Baggy pants that fall below the waist
- Muscle shirts (usually worn as undergarments)
If you are not dressed in a manner that is respectful to the court, you will be asked to leave the court and return at a later date. This will delay your hearing and require you to appear in court more than once.
