like an upstanding, respectful citizen.
seriously, respectful discourse, even if you disagree with the judge, will get you a long way.
also, wear a suit or at least button up shirt and a tie.

what hedphukker said.
also, there will be a court person who explains to everybody all the rules and stuff you can do, as well as how to apply for a public defender. that person will hand out all the necessary forms for you to fill out. it could take up to an hour or more before the judge even enters the room.
btw, have fun!

ask him if he believes in vampires, that sounds like an interesting question. if he becomes exasperated ask if ghosts are a more reasonable option.

Strange isnt it misantroll. But neglecting all human interactions can have the same bad results as hanging out with the wrong people or the inability to be alone for a while..

when i was briefly living in the united states i almost went to jail when two cops caught me urinating on hollywood blvd. however, i was extremely polite to them, handed them my i.d. and explained/lied to them that i'm "from germany and didn't know public urination is illegal in the united states". they let me go then. so maybe being polite and being almost "submissive" might help you at court, too.

The last statement is a bit problematic, but i aknowledge that i have these feelings towards the authorities and the economic powerful people.
However, i think it would be better to get rid of the whole system altogether would falling back behind our current order.

just as a note, public urination is in no way an arrestable offense in the us. they would have given you a ticket if anything.
if you're drunk and disorderly while doing so, that's a different story...

Walk in 5 minutes late, wearing a t-shirt like this and carrying a ghettoblaster playing this. The judge will see that you're a "character" and probably let you off with a caution.
Seriously though, bite your lip and appear contrite, no matter how much you disagree with it. I swear half of the court process is a test of your ability to control yourself. If you start shouting or even shaking your head when they're talking to you, you're fucked.
Oh yeah and never argue with a judge, unless you are 100% certain of the point of law (that is the only thing that matters to them). I once (successfully) disobeyed a judge's directive, but only:
A) I knew this particular area of law very well and was absolutely certain that to comply with it would have caused my employer to be breaking the law and more importantly, would jeopardise innocent people.
B) I got three separate lawyers to confirm this. C) I was prepared to call their bluff when the police said that if we didn't comply, I and two colleagues would be taken in to court in handcuffs to explain ourselves.
D) I knew that the judge concerned would also know that he wasn't entitled to ask what he was asking for and that he would be put in his place (and look bad for doing it) if I asked the case to be heard in another court.
hedphukker, it's strange isn't it, I normally have no problem with someone being busted for that when sober, but when they're on the beer, I actually think that is pretty acceptable. If pubs won't let you in (because you're drunk) and there are no public conveniences around, what are you supposed to do, piss yourself? If you're doing it through someone's letterbox, fair enough, but down a back alley it's (morally) fine. Plus, absolutely every red-blooded male will have done it at least once in their life.

Bring a pen and paper or somesuch. I'd make notes on what other people have said and all the points they make, so you can come back at those points and counter them one-by-one in a calm methodical way. Much, much better than getting visibly frustrated and flustered.
Never been in court lol but I've done a lot of debating and big decision-making in academia and industry

Well the law has spoken. I will get an invoice in the days so this is when i can really decide if that was all worth it. One thing i tried to achieve in court i actually did achieve. I didn't have a lawyer so i dunno if it made any diffrence what i told the judge. I felt pretty helpless.
