One of the absolutely most important things you need to do before going to court is to know what time you need to be in court, and exactly where the courtroom is that you are scheduled to be in.
All too often litigants (especially criminal defendants) show up late and/or in the wrong courtroom. Doing so will exacerbate an already difficult situation. Most judges have little tolerance for tardy litigants and attorneys.
What you can do: Call the court clerk for the jurisdiction where your case is set. The clerks office is there to help everybody. Your information is just a few keystrokes away for them. Clerks can often be the most helpful individuals in the court house. One side note: treat court clerks with the utmost respect - they will return your kindness by going out of their way to help you.
