Virtual Courtroom Etiquette

The courtroom, whether a physical in-person courtroom or a virtual courtroom using telephone or video technology, remains a formal and serious setting where matters involving real people and real lives are heard.

Every case is important, and all participants are asked to maintain court decorum.

☐  Dress Appropriately for Court.  Business attire is always appropriate for court; sweatshirts, gym clothes, Hawaiian shirts, concert t-shirts, sports team jerseys, and pajamas are never appropriate.

☐  Eliminate Distractions.  Cell phones and other technology should be powered off during the court proceeding.

☐  Do Not Bring Food or Beverages to the courtroom.  This includes chewing gum.

☐  Do Not Use Tobacco or Vaping Products in the courtroom.
