There are situations in life where you might have to go to court.
This could be for a traffic violation, as a witness, or even for a crime that is charged against you.
It's important that when you do go to court that you do a few things to appear before the judge in a more credible manner.
It might be important to make a few changes before the court day.
A judge is supposed to be impartial.
He or she is not supposed to judge you based on your looks or how you act.
While this is true in theory, judges are still human beings.
You don't want to have any biases against you because of how you look or act so it's important to make some changes.
First of all, dress nicely.
While you may personally not enjoy wearing dress clothes and don't see the point.
It does help.
Wear something that is appropriate and looks nice.
Be sure that you take care of any grooming issues.
Shave your face as a guy and make sure your hair is in reasonable order.
Go for more of a conservative look.
Cover up any tattoos.
Consider taking out any piercings that may be thought of as unreasonable.
Be sure to be as respectful as possible.
Don't have an attitude towards the judge and be sure to not talk over him or her.
This goes quite a long way when in a court situation.
Also read up on the practices of procedures of the court.
The judge doesn't want to take the time to make sure that you know what's going on.
This can cause extra frustration which can make you look a bit less credible.
By following these, you can increase your credibility and be taken more seriously so that what you have to say can be judged more fairly.
