GENERAL TIPS
Find out where your case is being held.
Be sure to check if there are any COVID-19 protocols in place (mask requirements, social distancing, virtual meetings, etc.)
Arrive at least 30 minutes early. You may run into delays with parking and security.
Know the facts of your case and be sure to find out what items (emails, receipts, documents, etc.) you need to support your claim.
Print off at least three copies of each of the supporting documents you plan on bringing to court.
Prepare an outline to help guide you.
Practice what you’re going to say in court beforehand.
Remember, no electronic devices are allowed while court is in session.
Be sure if you have any witnesses, they know when and where to show up for court. If they are unable to make it, be sure to inform the Judge.
Be prepared to spend all day in court, so be sure to plan accordingly for childcare.
What to wear
Dress to impress. It’s important to dress as if you’re going to a job interview. Be sure to avoid clothing that looks too casual (sleeveless or low-cut tops, tank tops, shorts, flip-flops, jeans, or non-religious hats).
In most cases, it is better to show up in casual attire than to not show up at all.
