Protocols

The Court of Law has always been a place of politeness, dignity at its highest and a place where decorum and respect are highly demonstrated. There is no law to dictate Court behaviours but the old age principles coming down from Roman Law, to the English, to the Commonwealth Countries and likewise in other jurisdictions in the world, apply and are practiced in our courts here in Jamaica.
