On the Day of the Trial
When you are summoned to Court, you need to be available for the entire day. It is difficult to determine how long you will be in court. You may be excused or you may be needed for more than a day. Often victims and witness have to wait until preliminary procedures are completed. You may want to eat before coming to court and remember to bring any medications that you are required to take throughout the day.
Food, beverages, radios, recorders, cameras, weapons, sharp objects, electronic games, and large bags are not allowed into the courthouse and will be confiscated upon entering.
If you need handicapped or other special arrangements made for the day of your testimony, please calls the Office of the State’s Attorney for Baltimore City’s Victim and Witness Division at 410-396-1897. If the case is in Juvenile Court, please call 443-263-8146.
