Quite often you can find on the internet various recommendations on how themselves should be conducted in court.Most of these recommendations are reasonable and appropriate.However, I almost did not come across articles about what not to do in the hearing, and that sometimes it is equally important to get a positive result in litigation.There are basic rules of conduct in court, but not everyone knows about them, and those who know, sometimes forget about them, giving a bad example to others.
Rule number 1
Do not be late for court hearings. If the session is scheduled, e.g., at 10 hr. 30 min., Then it is necessary to come to 10 hr. 30 min.(or slightly earlier), not to the 10 hr. 40 min, for 11 h., namely, at the appointed time.Rather, the trial will begin later appointed time (this often happens), but that is another question, participants in the process this should not worry.Your first task is to come in time, or in the absence of compelling reasons for the delay may be justifiable regarded as contempt of court, especially arbitration courts.
Rule number 2
should not be at the hearing to behave disrespectfully towards the participants of the process and the court itself. would seem obvious that there is unclear, but in practice often see a different picture and wonder ... and from the place of "noise" and allow themselves to familiarity.All this is inadmissible in court.When referring to the court is necessary to get out of the place, if you are sitting and speaking, saying "Dear Court" in the civil and arbitration proceedings, and "Your Honor" - in criminal proceedings.Moreover, all evidence, statements and other proceedings of the trial participants do standing.Standing to hear and judge classified the appropriate court decision (judgment, decision, judgment).
Rule number 3
Do not go to court unprepared. Sometimes I notice now when people come to the court, not even bothering to look into his claim or review (objection).It is sad to see a man at the hearing, which is very vaguely imagine the plot of the case.This situation is extremely negative impact on his "image" in the eyes of the court and other participants in the process.Some judges do not like when they come to the meeting, "anyhow."At the heart of modern judicial process based on the principle of adversarial.And if you allow yourself the luxury of a "lack of preparedness for the case" only blame yourself if the action will succeed.
Rule number 4
should not be neglected Procedure Code, according to the rules which the appropriate legal proceedings. What is it?Sometimes, especially in courts of law, judges depart from the rules of court, judge, so to speak, to "everyday life."And the farther from the center, so it is more common.I do not want to cast a shadow over the judicial community, among them there are also professionals.But there are also people who are in this profession, in my opinion, by accident.The behavior of these people during the trial, to say the least, unworthy of respect.I say this to the fact that no matter how allowed himself to act the judge during the trial, no matter how you are provoked and urged on, do not "lead" on this play by his rules.Stick to the Code of Procedure (Code of Civil Procedure, APK, CPC), which is conducted according to the rules your trial.This is the most important thing, and all the "retreat" of the court of law during the process can neutralize, using techniques and tools that are mentioned in the Rule № 5.
Rule number 5
Do not let your emotions duringto take up the process of reason. This is the last of its kind, but the first most important rule of conduct in court.And that's a fact!What not to do in the hearing precisely because it grumble saliva on the actors and the judge, defending his truth "the power of voice."The Court did not place displays of affection, although high-profile Hollywood films trials that way and try to imagine.There are only relevant facts!The trial, if I may say so, it is necessary to keep a tight grip, do not let down our guard, even if the judge acted unprofessionally.For the purpose of ensuring the impartiality of the court proceedings, there are different legal and administrative means to influence the judicial process, allowing to hold the trial within the law.Use them if you see that some of the participants of the process or court acting in bad faith.
to lose, be careful!These basic rules of conduct in court are simple and obvious at first vzlyad, but many ignore them, giving it reason to participants in the process and the judge to question your competence and integrity.And remember - all wrong.It is important to understand this and make appropriate conclusions on time.As once said the Greek philosopher Epictetus: «If you want to be an impartial judge, not see the accuser or the accused, but in most case.»
