Going to court: what to expect

Do I need to do anything before going to court?
The person who asked you to come to court should send you information about how to get to the court and the facilities available there. Crown Court centres also have a Customer Service Officer. You can find the number of the court in your local phone book under Crown Court.

If you are a witness, you should tell the person who asked you to come to court (the police Witness Liaison Officer if you are a prosecution witness or the defendant's solicitor if you are a defence witness) if you need an interpreter, if you have a disability or special need or if you would like to visit the court before the trial starts. You can also arrange the latter with the Customer Service Officer or the Witness Service at the Crown Court.
