case, regardless of which side the evidence supports. In order to be impartial, unprejudiced, and objective,
they must report the facts as they find them.

ACTIVITY NO. 11

Identify if the following statements are PROPER or IMPROPER. Write your answer on the space provided before the
number and write the correct term on the space provided after the statement if it is improper and NONE if it is proper. 5
points each

PROPER 1. You should treat any courtroom appearance like a day at the office and dress in business-appropriate attire.
Shorts, T-shirts, tank tops, baseball caps, et al., re not acceptable. Dressing professionally not only shows respect to the
court and its proceedings, it also makes your own testimony appear more credible. ______________

PROPER 2. If an attorney asks you a question and the opposing attorney objects, answer until the judge has ruled on the
objection. Do not, as you sometimes see on television, offer to answer the question in spite of the objection. An objection
indicates the question may not be permissible under the rules governing court proceedings, and speaking before the judge
makes a determination may compromise the trial itself. _________________________

PROPER 3. You should treat any courtroom appearance like a day at the office and dress in business-appropriate attire.
Shorts, T-shirts, tank tops, baseball caps, et al., re not acceptable. Dressing professionally not only shows respect to the
court and its proceedings, it also makes your own testimony appear more credible. _________________________

PROPER 4. If you’ve received a subpoena to testify, it will usually specify the date and time you must appear in court.
It’s essential you’re at the courthouse and ready to go at the designated time. Ideally you should arrive 15-20 minutes afer
just to be safe. _____________________

PROPER 5. The judge not only presides over the courtroom, he represents the court itself and the law. When a judge
enters the room, you rise. If you need to speak directly to the judge, he or is she is addressed as “Your Honor,” never by
name. You must also show respect to the attorneys for both sides, as they are all considered officers of the court.

Identify if the following statements are PROPER or IMPROPER. Write your answer on the space provided before the
number and write the correct term on the space provided after the statement if it is improper and NONE if it is proper. 5
pints each

PROPER 1. Sometimes questions can be uncomfortable.  Although all questions should be answered truthfully,
answering an uncomfortable question can pose a problem.  The point is that Judges can always tell when someone is
being. It is best to deal with uncomfortable questions head on with a straight forward direct answer.
___________________

PROPER 2. You need a shovel to dig a hole.  Often times witnesses bury themselves by talking too much.  It is a natural
tendency for people to want to talk about themselves and their injury when they get on the stand.   However, sticking with
our previous advice to just answer the question is still the best practice. __________________

PROPER 3. When presented with a question, look your questioner straight in the eye and provide the answer.  Studies
have shown that people who look directly at their interrogator and answer questions firmly are almost universally believed
as credible. __________________

PROPER 4. Asking for a question to be repeated is not uncommon.  This goes along with not answering a question if you
don’t know th answer.  Questions can sometimes be confusing.  It is better to ask for the question to be repeated then to
try to assume that you understand what the question is and provide an incorrect answer. ________________________

PROPER 5. There is nothing more that can add to a person’s credibility then to present a good image before the Judge.  
This can easily be accomplished by wearing clothes that are not proper for courtroom testimony.  For men, a suit and tie.
For women, business dress.  Coming to court in casual (or very casual) attire can be misinterpreted as showing a lack of
respect.  This can affect how a Judge views ones’ testimony.
