Etiquette in the courtroom: a fireside chat with Justice Christopher Uwogboe (and Carolynn Conron)
“Counsel! You can’t wear those sweatpants in court, and why on earth are you drinking that coffee??!!”, “But, Your Honour, nobody cares when I’m on Zoom!”. The transition from courtroom to Zoom back to the courtroom has caused confusion for young and senior counsel alike. Have we forgotten what is appropriate? Was that Zoom-appropriate behaviour ever appropriate? In this fireside chat Justice Uwogboe and Carolynn, along with audience participation, will discuss the new world of courtroom behaviour and etiquette. Feel free to dress how you like and enjoy your coffee!
