Court Room Rules and Dress Code

Is there a dress code?

There is. Please don’t wear shorts to court or thin strap tops or swimsuits. And if you bring a hat or sunglasses, please take them off while you’re in court.

If you appear in court dressed inappropriately, you will not be allowed to appear in front of the Judge.  You will be rescheduled to the next court date or you may go to the court office to make arrangements for your violation by either making a payment plan or payment in full.
