Burgess’ tips for surviving the courtroom

  1. Dress professionally– judges pay attention to a defendant’s appearance and the last thing a defendant needs is to be scolded by a judge for dressing inappropriately.
  2. Watch your demeanor– judges and juries pay close attention to nonverbal communication and body language of defendants. That can even mean your posture, so practice good posture if you’re on trial.
  3. Listen to your lawyer– If you’re being represented by counsel, communicate with your attorney only. Never try to be intentionally heard whispering to your attorney.
