Going to Court

Preparing for the trial

• Get a copy of your statement and read it over.

• If you made any notes at the time of the assault, ask the Crown Prosecutor if you can bring them with you to court.

• Go over the events in your mind and try to place them in order. Make sure you remember the date, time and place of the assault.

• You can arrange a meeting with the Crown Prosecutor before the trial.

• Let the Crown Prosecutor know ahead of time if you need a translator or an interpreter.

• Take the subpoena and any other important document with you to the meeting with the Crown Prosecutor.
