How to Win Your Case in Court

Most people are often faced with the same question: “What should be done to be more likely to prove their case in court?” It so happens that the documents seem to be in order, speeches and proofs have been prepared, but still, there are some doubts.  Here are a few tips that can help you win your case fast.

Don’t Be Late for Your Court Hearing

Judges are often enraged that the parties or their representatives are late for court hearings. Try to never let this happen. But if a force majeure situation has arisen and it is still not possible to be in time for the meeting, call the court urgently, apologize, indicate the reason, and tell the time for which you are delayed. Once you enter the courtroom, show your respect again, apologize and take your seat.

Don’t Argue With the Judge

Under no circumstances enter into a verbal skirmish with the judge. It will not lead to anything good. It will only turn you against the judge. And a judge, as you know, has the right to bring a restless person to administrative responsibility for contempt of court: a fine or even arrest.

If you think that the judge is wrong, behaves inappropriately, and is biased – use all procedural and other rights that are granted or not prohibited by law, for example:

• you can write a motion to challenge the judge (only your position should be based on facts, clearly substantiated and supported by evidence),
• you can complain in writing to the chairman of the court,
• you can leave an official message on the court’s website,
• you can complain to the qualification collegium of judges. This body, among other things, can bring a judge to disciplinary responsibility,
• you can involve the media and blogs to disseminate information.

Do Not Argue in Court Between the Plaintiff or the Defendant

Regardless of which side you represent – the plaintiff or the defendant, you should never argue, let alone get personal in the court process. And out of court too. Argue reasonably and convincingly only on the papers that you submit to the court. All provocations can be answered dryly: “My legal position is set out in such and such a document” or “Let’s find out who is right and who is to blame directly in the court session.”

Avoid Emotions

Emotions have no place in court! You can’t pity the judge! Only dry, systematic upholding of your position and nothing more is not necessary to allow yourself. It is, of course, good if your opponent gets emotional, but in no case should you. Emotions always show the weakness of the side.
