YES!!! There is a dress code and we are making extra effort to enforce this code with every court term.  Contrary to what you may think, appropriate clothing must be worn when you come to court as a defendant and to serve your jury terms.

We do not want to turn anyone away, but because we are determined to help our youthful offenders respect the court, others, and themselves, we will send you away if you come inappropriately dressed.  Parents can help with this by instructing your child to dress properly.

DO NOT WEAR

Flip-Flops

Ragged out jeans/pants/tops

Tee shirts with lewd pictures or slogans

Concert Shirts

Skin-tight, Low-cut tank tops (females)

Tank Tops (males)

Hats, caps, do-rags

Low riding pants (pants must be at your waist)

Gang-related colors, outerwear or signs

Excessive jewelry -earrings, dog collars, chains, bracelets

Wild hair colors

Funky nail polish colors

No excessive piercings that are visible

Skirts that are so short they will not touch your fingertips

Unless shirt is cut for outside wear, all shirts must be worn tucked in.

This is only a partial list of undesirable clothing for attending court.

REMEMBER AS A GENERAL RULE: If you must ask then you should change!

WHEN YOU SERVE YOUR JURY TERMS YOU ARE STILL EXPECTED TO BE IN DRESS CODE.
