Can You Sit in on Court Cases?

I really want to go into law and politics when I grow so I was thinking I could sit in on court cases at my city's court house. Can I do that? Thanks!Can You Sit in on Court Cases?
With a few exceptions when the case is closed to the public, you can. I use to do that when I was attending law school. You can go to your local court, ask the bailiffs who are standing around and they will tell you which cases might be interesting.

Yes, in the US the courts are open to the public. Any member of the community can enter any courtroom and observe. There are rare instances, for example, juvenile proceedings involving young children, when the rights of the child require the court to be closed, but for the most part the courts are open.





When I was in High School I went and watched the testimony in a court. It turned out to be a murder trial, and the details of what had been done to the victims was very disturbing.





Good Luck
Yes, most proceedings are open to the public. Just show up.





Be respectful. This means cell phones are OFF. You will have to go through security to enter the courthouse, so have your ID ready. I kindly suggest you dress respectfully as it is a house of justice.





Don't be shy about asking someone at the courthouse about what kinds of cases are heard by each judge - criminal, civil, family.
Theres you're awnser, its yes. I do it, I consider it a ';break'; from classes. Ha, not sure how thats a break though. Some cases are closed, I think juvy cases might be. But the others are fun ( i mean, I guess fun, for LS students)
Yes. Courts are open to the public.
You would have to contact the courts about this
