3-04/025.05 - Courtroom Dress Code



Bailiffs shall discuss individual public dress code wishes with their judge. "Persons in the courtroom should not dress in a bizarre manner such as to be distracting to others of usual sensibilities. Counsel shall so instruct parties they represent, witnesses they call and persons accompanying them. Attorneys and court personnel should be dressed according to current customs as to their business or work attire." (Los Angeles County Rules, 8.2)

Clothing that may be of special note such as gang "colors" or clothing that could easily conceal a weapon should be of concern to the bailiff.
