Courtroom Behavior
Courtroom behavior refers to the conduct expected from individuals present in a legal setting, including judges, lawyers, witnesses, and defendants. Proper behavior is essential to maintain order and respect for the legal process. Participants should dress appropriately, speak clearly, and follow the instructions of the judge.
In a courtroom, it is important to remain calm and composed. Disruptive actions, such as talking out of turn or showing strong emotions, can lead to consequences like being held in contempt of court. Understanding and adhering to these behavioral norms helps ensure a fair trial and the integrity of the judicial system.
