Courtroom Etiquette….
Yes, it definitely does matter what you wear to court. The judge and everyone in the courtroom will take notice of how you choose to present yourself to the court. You want to show that you respect the courtroom and that you are taking the matter seriously. You should wear something you would wear to church, work or a nice social function.
