How do you talk to someone in Court?

Be polite and calm. Stand when you speak to the judge and call them Your Honor. Speak clearly and loud enough for the judge and the other side to hear you. But don't shout or react to things you don't like. Now is not the time to express your feelings or vent your emotions.
