Dress Code: While there is no official dress code, it is important that you dress neatly and always conduct yourself in a respectful manner. Judges often frown upon those individuals who wear shorts, open tow sandals, or other similar items.

Court Clerk: The Court Clerk’s role is to assist the Judge in carrying out duties. Many Court Clerks send letters to litigants, collect fines, and help answer any day-to-day questions litigants have before the court.

It is important that you check-in with the Court Clerk once you have arrived at court. A failure to notify the Court Clerk that you are present for your court date may result in your case not being called.

Instructions on how to enter your plea are provided on your speeding ticket. Your plea may be entered via mail or in person.
