Before You Go
Courthouse visit tips
General guidance to help you prepare. Your court notice, local rules, and courthouse staff instructions always take priority.
Bring your court notice or hearing order, case number, and any documents you need to file or discuss. Bring photo identification if your notice or courthouse requires it. Check your court instructions before you go, as document and copy requirements vary.
Dress neatly and respectfully. Avoid clothing that may be distracting or inappropriate for court. Follow any dress-code instructions provided by your court or judge.
Review your court notice for the required arrival time. Parking, check-in, entrance, and security procedures vary by courthouse and may change. Contact the court or clerk before your visit if you need confirmation.
Silence your phone unless court staff instruct otherwise. Be respectful to court staff, the judge, and everyone involved in the case. Wait until you are called on to speak, and follow the courtroom’s instructions about standing and addressing the judge.
If possible, arrange childcare before attending court. If a child must attend, or your case involves a child, contact the court beforehand to confirm any attendance requirements or accommodations.
Review your court notice and local court rules first. The clerk’s office can answer many procedural questions but cannot give legal advice. If you need advice about your rights, options, or case, speak with an attorney.
