look the judge in the eye when you answer questions. stick to the point of the question as much as possible. i dont know what your medical problems are but if you cant sit for long periods of time, ask the judge if you can stand for a while, then you can sit again, etc. ask first. they might ask you how you got there, such as drove yourself, someone else drove you. be ready for it. you may be asked to describe your average day. dont be overly dramatic but dont downplay it either. if you need to take naps say so, rest say so, take pain medication, etc. pain medication makes you tired, forgetful, have trouble sleeping at night, whatever the case is.

dont over dress and if you are a woman dont use much makeup. if you look too good you may hurt your chances.

you will be nervous going in. everyone is. dont worry if it shows.

good luck.
