When attending court for a matter, the student should check the court lists to confirm which courtroom the matter is to be heard in. If the court is not sitting at the time, the student should attempt to seek out the Crown Counsel who has conduct of the matter and identify themselves. | When attending court for a matter, the student should check the court lists to confirm which courtroom the matter is to be heard in.

The student should endeavour to find out the matter number of their file. This can be found on the physical copy of the daily court list often present in the court room or online on Court Services Online where pdfs of the daily court list are posted. When the student’s matter is called or when the student is asked what matter they are here to speak to, they should reference the client’s last name and the matter number. This makes it easier for the judge and other court officials to locate the correct matter on list of matters to be called that day. | |||
In order to get the client’s matter called, the student should indicate to Crown Counsel or the Crown assistant that '''both the client and counsel are present''' and ready to proceed. Crown Counsel will proceed with the shortest matters first; priority will also be given to matters for which the accused and their counsel are present. Do not interrupt Crown Counsel when they are addressing a matter. | In order to get the client’s matter called, the student should indicate to Crown Counsel or the Crown assistant that '''both the client and counsel are present''' and ready to proceed.
