How do I... Do court? I didn't realize my license was expired and got pulled over. Now I have court tomorrow.

I know the obvious of being polite and respectful. do I show up early like an airport? Do I just show the guard my ticket? Anything I should know or be aware of?

Yeah, that's one thing I'm worried about. Powers out because of the hurricane. I've got black jeans and a polo shirt clean.

That should be fine. It’s traffic court, not a murder trial, just don’t show up in a ratty shirt if you can be in nicer.

The bigger thing is to look like you put effort into your appearance. Everything clean, no wrinkles, etc. Dress as nice as you can within that. Think whatever you would wear to a job interview.

You will probably (and should) be dressed better than most of the people there. It does get noticed, and will help you out.
