Respectful and respectful treatment of the judge during the trial is a very important point. This is not only a rule of good manners, but also a legislatively enshrined norm, a deviation from which may become one of the reasons for an undesirable result of the trial.
Instructions
Step 1
When contacting a judge, it is imperative to show a respectful and respectful attitude towards him and the entire trial.
Step 2
Always get up before applying, regardless of whether the court clerk gave the appropriate command or not. The only exception to this can be obvious and serious reasons. For example, feeling very unwell due to a serious illness, disability, or injury that prevents you from standing on your feet. Experienced judges always monitor this carefully.
Step 3
According to paragraph 3 of Art. 257 of the Criminal Procedure Code, when addressing the court, all persons at the hearing should say “Dear Court”, and when addressing the judge - “Your Honor”. It is this form that is the only true and respectful one. In the civil code, it is recommended to refer to the magistrate of justice with the phrase "Dear court" even when there is only one judge.
Step 4
In practice, you can find other forms of appeal to the judge, which do not meet with his objections. These include: "Mr. Judge", "Comrade Judge", "High Court". However, such forms are only relevant in civil proceedings. And they do not carry the proper degree of respect.
Step 5
Address the judge only on "you". Addressing "you" can be regarded as a dismissive form and lead to punishable consequences.
Step 6
Don't interrupt the judge when he speaks. Wait for him to finish his thought completely.
Step 7
Always speak clearly and distinctly. Do not raise your voice or use obscene language.
Step 8
Remember that building further relations between you and other participants in the process largely depends on your form of appeal to the judge and on your behavior. If you are counting on a favorable outcome of the case, do not test the patience of the judges. In some controversial issues, even such a moment as behavior in court can be of great importance.
