Walk up to the long table in front of the clerk, and take a position to the right or left. It usually doesn't matter which side you choose.
While you're doing this, the judge <span class="noglossary">will</span> probably be taking some notes. Remain <span class="noglossary">standing</span> until the judge looks up from his or her their notes. The person who is making the application, the ''applicant'', should introduce him- or herself themself first, followed by the other person, the ''respondent'', introducing him- or herselfthemself:
<blockquote>Applicant: "Good morning, my name is Jane Doe and this is my application."</blockquote>
<blockquote>Respondent: "I am John Doe."</blockquote>
Once that's done, the respondent can sit down. Usually, the applicant <span class="noglossary">will</span> then move to the little lectern at the centre of the table and make his or her their pitch about why the judge should make the orders he or she is they are asking for. When the applicant is done, the applicant sits down and it's the respondent's turn to stand up, move to the lectern, and say why the application is a bad idea.
==Etiquette==
==When your case is done==
After the judge delivers his or her their judgment, stand up and thank the court, whether you won or lost, and leave the courtroom.
It is extremely poor form to gloat over a victory, or, otherwise, to sulk and rage about a loss. Take it like a grownup and leave the courtroom. Save your boasting or complaining for your friends.
