How to Address the Court

• All persons shall rise when addressing the court.
   

• All attorneys shall file an attorney of record with the Clerk before addressing the Court on behalf of any represented party.

  • If the matter involves a post-trial motion for the enforcement of a judgment, an appearance fee charged by the Clerk shall be waived.
     

• Counsel should stand when addressing the court and confine their remarks to the court, rather than to opposing counsel.

• Counsel should be mindful of the court reporter by speaking clearly and slowly and in the direction of the court reporter.

• Objections should be stated in one or two words and never argued in front of the jury.
