<p begin="00:00:00.25" end="00:00:05.50">This is your legal minute, brought to you by the Ohio State Bar Foundation.</p>
<p begin="00:00:05.60" end="00:00:11.80">If for some reason, you are required to go to court, there are certain things that you should and should not do.</p>
<p begin="00:00:11.90" end="00:00:13.60">Let’s go down the list:</p>
<p begin="00:00:13.70" end="00:00:18.50">Always be on time, preferably about 15 minutes early.</p>
<p begin="00:00:18.60" end="00:00:24.50">You may be required to go through security, so do not bring anything that could be a weapon.</p>
<p begin="00:00:24.60" end="00:00:29.00">Dress appropriately—no ball caps or tasteless t-shirts.</p>
<p begin="00:00:29.10" end="00:00:32.70">When you get there, check in with the bailiff or clerk.</p>
<p begin="00:00:32.80" end="00:00:36.80">Address the judge and all court personnel politely.</p>
<p begin="00:00:36.90" end="00:00:42.70">Be patient—sometimes cases take longer than expected, and you may need to wait.</p>
<p begin="00:00:42.80" end="00:00:47.90">If you don’t understand something, ask someone to explain it.</p>
<p begin="00:00:48.00" end="00:00:53.00">And never get angry or argue with the judge or the court staff.</p>
<p begin="00:00:53.10" end="00:00:56.50">These easy tips may not make your court appearance pleasant,</p>
<p begin="00:00:56.60" end="00:01:02.00">but if you follow them, it will cut down on any additional hassles you may face.</p>
<p begin="00:01:02.10" end="00:01:06.40">This legal minute is brought to you by the Ohio State Bar Foundation.</p>
