There are many reasons or causes that can bring a person into the often alien and uncomfortable environment of a courtroom. Such things as divorce and lawsuits being the most typical, but whenever a person in Utah is brought into a courtroom the experience can often be unnerving.
The courtrooms of America and of Utah are special places of ritualized traditions and strict laws that are all designed to impose order and the serious nature of the various situations that bring persons into the courtroom in the first place. Because of the multitude of observances that are often unknown by the general public in Utah at large, a person who is heading into a court room for any reason should know how to appropriately act while in the courtroom itself.
In the age of the internet and social media, image and content sharing has exploded. It is important to remember that just because an image is online and can be googled does not mean that it is public domain or free to use. Specifically images like logos and other branded items are restricted and can only be used or distributed by the owner of the copyright.
If you find yourself in need of images, search for items that fall under creative commons licensing. You can research creative commons and there are several websites devoted entirely to providing creative commons images to content makers. Let's say that you own a company and you need to have some software written or a website designed to help your business grow. You don't have the specialized skills necessary to make that happen so you hire an independent contractor to do the job. If you're paying them to create intellectual property for your company, you're safe, right?
One of the first tips the Utah State Bar gives to people who may be appearing before a judge in the court system is to come early to one's hearing or court appearance. Being on time, and even better to be early to the courthouse, will not only be in compliance with the court's strict policies of punctuality on the part of individuals but will also allow for other possible benefits such as being moved to the front of the line or simply having the opportunity to collect one's self and prepare for the hearing.
That being said, a good contract or legal document should be as far from confusing as possible. The goal of a legal document is to clearly state conditions so that any involved parties understand and agree to the exact terms. It is a good idea to have a professional review your legal document, to make sure everyone is protected, but make sure that they don't turn it into a confusing mess.
It is likewise important that a person knows how to conduct themselves while in court. First and foremost, a person is required to stand when addressing the court and should never address an opponent or another in the room (besides consultation with one's lawyer) but should instead only address the court itself, namely the Judge who should be referred to as your honor.
While there are many other mannerisms and courtroom regulations that can be learned beforehand, the above are some of the basic rules and tips that can help those entering a courtroom in Utah to be prepared for the experience.
