You can wear whatever you want but, never wear something a Judge would find disrespectful. In my experience, Judges can be very vindictive of people who disrespect the bench.
-
I dont see any reason why not. Dont overdo it though, if you turn up dressed in a barrel the judge will probably think you are dishonestly pretending powerty and make the payments larger.
-
better to wear jeans than to just go in your undies.
-
If you aren't a party or part of the legal team.
-
Make sure they aren't too tight or ripped up / old. And, if you are the defendant, I'd forget jeans. Don't want to look too casual if you're fighting for parental rights.
-
I don't see why not, but I always dress up for things like that b/c you never know what kinda judge you're gonna get
-
Can? yes. Should you? preferably not. Ripped jeans? um.... Just ask yourself whether jeans would make a good or bad impression on the judge. Who knows, you might get a laid-back stoned out hippy judge - but the odds are not in your favour. Of course you may be trying to impress the judge with your poverty.. If so, don't wear expensive designer jeans.
-
Do you work? If your unemployed and show up in jeans....good luck. If your a working mom, then I don't think he'd care.
-
you can but the judge likes to see respect for the judicial system and the better you look does make an impression. +5
-
Even so, I doubt it would be a really good idea.
-
theres no dress code. just don't get ridiculous
-
I would not. Better to dress conservatively. They say that in a job interview minds are made up about the type of person you are in the first few minutes. A judge probably does the same thing.
-
if its your child you are trying to get, i would dress to impress. the judge will look at you and that will be part of his assessment.
-
You can, but it's best to dress a little less casual. If you must wear jeans, wear a nice blouse, maybe even a light summer blazer, anything to give that conservative look.
-
Hey if it's comfy, it's good! lol
-
no do not wear jeans.. Head over to the resales shop or K-mart clearnace rack buy a pair black dress slacks or a nice skirt. Basicly dress like you are ask for jury duty. For Jury duty if you show up in jeans you may be held in compent of court. ( here in my county).
-
Probably... But the better question is should you?
-
If I were you, i'd go with the dress. Why take a chance, right?
