No matter what you wear, you should always follow court rules (if appropriate) about appropriate attire when you enter the courtroom. Choose attire that is clean and business appropriate. In an informal setting, wear neat and conservatively written off court dress pants and a dress shirt with your name on it. In a more informal setting, dress the judge up, just as you would dress an informal courtroom presentation. Acting respectfully is very important for courtroom conduct. Men should wear a suit or dress slacks and a dress shirt. Showing up to court with your hair pulled back with a simple black or burgundy wig or conservatively wearing a police uniform to court is acceptable. Be prepared for major sit-ins including court hearings and drug interviews.
