Hire a babysitter if you have children and plan to be at court for about three hours. A courtroom can be very crowded, and it can be a while before a judge hears your case. Make sure to appropriately dress because you can be asked to leave if you dress inappropriately. When you have an attorney, talk to them in advance. Know the courtroom for your case before court starts, which you can sort out by calling the Clerk of Court’s office. Bring all of the papers regarding your case to court with you as well as a pencil or pen to take notes. You may also want to be sure you have money ready for costs and fines.
