Going to court can be a daunting experience that makes you feel like you’ve done something wrong. The size of the building, metal detectors, guards and the judge sitting on a bench are all intimidating and sometimes, nerve wracking. If you have a hearing or trial date coming up and you’ve never been to your courthouse before, make a trial run.Set aside a day to drive to the courthouse and visit any available family courtrooms. Find nearby parking or the bus stop, locate the actual courtroom you’ll be appearing in and assess the situation to determine if you’ll need extra time on your court date. By making a trial run, you can mentally prepare yourself for the journey and hopefully, calm your nerves before the main event.
