Court Tips: If you go to court without an attorney, you will be instructed to walk through a metal detector before entering the courthouse.  The officers at the metal detector will instruct you to leave all cellphones and electronic devices in your car.  As such, save yourself a long trip back to your car and left your phone in your car.  After you pass the metal detector, you will be instructed to meet the court clerks who will be standing at a table checking in drivers.  If you are unsure what to do or say, you should show the court clerk your letter advising you to appear in court.  Thereafter, the clerks will give you instructions to wait in court.
