       Do's and Don'ts in court
       By: wows Date: October 14, 2022, 4:41 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I copy-paste a table of Do's and Don'ts from a web site that i
       found by googling
       "How should you speak in a court?".
       We look over those rules and see which we can use in the debates
       as well.
       [table]
       [tr]
       [td]Do's
       DO speak calmly and clearly
       DO use the proper forms of address
       DO be polite
       DO stand when you address the court
       DO make eye contact with the judge when you are speaking
       DO ask for clarification if you are unclear about something
       DO thank the judge for listening
       DO arrive early to court
       DO give yourself extra time to get to court
       DO bring all of your pertinent court files with you
       DO dress appropriately[/td]
       [td]
       Don'ts
       DON’T interrupt anyone while they are speaking
       DON’T speak over anyone
       DON’T raise your voice
       DON’T lose your temper
       DON’T fold your arms or look bored
       DON’T be late to your court date
       DON’T be on your phone in the courtroom
       DON’T eat or drink while in the courtroom
       [/td]

       Who are not so familiar with the term Judge in the text then it
       is similar to the football field judge/referee. If you have a
       budgistic background then you are very familiar with a word
       Observer. So, the Judge in the court also observes, watches
       mostly just like Authentic Self watches Egoic Self. Or, in
       politics in the parliament room there are some juries/leaders
       who also watch things. The rules talk about Judges and we can
       hire for next battles a Referee who is familiar with Debating
       rules and acts as a 3rd party in the dialogue if he sees a
       mistake in the process etc. But we must first train such person
       here and then if he agrees we set such role to him. The text
       above suggest to be somehow more than polite with a Judge which
       means in other words to have some fear etc as well beside
       politeness. I disagree with that and say that everyone are equal
       and we don't ever have to look upwards to anyone in our debates.
       At the moment i the Judge role and ask opponents to behave and
       answer questions and follow other rules. But if i make a mistake
       as a Judge then everyone should tell and not be afraid. For
       example, if i ask someone to answer a question, but the answer
       was already provided earlier, then it is my mistake to ask such
       answer repeatedly. Or if i as a Judge insult or do other
       inadequate things then we must do something with the Judge.
