Can I speak for myself in court?
- You can usually do this but if you have a lawyer it is better to let them speak for you.
- It can be very frustrating to have to sit still and listen at times but your lawyer knows what information is important and when the best time is to tell the court about it. If you think something that has been said is very important you can make a note of it and tell your lawyer in the next break.
