Going to Court
Some tips if you are a witness
- Arrive 15 minutes early and let the Crown Prosecutor that you have arrived.
- Once the case begins, all the witnesses will be instructed to leave the courtroom. This is called an order of exclusion.
- If you are asked to leave the courtroom make sure that you stay just outside the courtroom so that you are easy to find when it is your turn to testify.
- The Crown Prosecutor will call a witness first; then the defense will call its first witness.
- You may be the first one called to testify.
- The accused may plead guilty before or during the proceedings.
- The court may be delayed for a number of reasons. You may ask the Crown why.
