Dressing for Court:
Coming to court dressed like you are going to play football or have just left the gym is not a good idea. I have seen litigants told to leave the courtroom and return appropriately dressed. You want the court to hear and believe what you have to say. Appearances provide a first impression. Distracting or revealing clothing are a bad choice. You want the Court to hear you and believe you, not remember your tattoos, body jewelry or that you cannot fit into those pants. Distracting the Court means the Judge is not focusing on what you have to say.
While you do not need to wear your “Sunday Best,” leave the flip-flops, slippers and shirts with certain four letter words in your closet. Ask yourself if your (grand)mother would wear the item to Court.
What is the worst you have seen? No names!!
