Jury Duty

[Braveheart88]

It depends entirely on the judge & the context.

What level of court is this? City, federal, what? You should have some written instructions beforehand. Usually that includes hints about dress and decorum. I would recommend asking beforehand.

Tell us more, but your best info probably comes from the courthouse directly. Best wishes.

The only thing they said in the summons about clothing was that I should bring a jacket or sweater because the court room was usually cool :P

Consider this; when I had jury duty last year I wasn't even selected as one of the jurors yet I had to sit for approximately 4 hours before I was dismissed. In fact, sitting was all I did. Personally I would not want to sit for that long wearing my kilt. First of all there is a good chance that I'd mess up my pleats. Secondly, sitting atop 8+ yards of pleated wool can feel kind of lumpy after a while. I love my tank and find it more comfy than trousers in a lot of situations, but sitting in a hard chair for extended periods of time isn't one of them (I don't own a casual non-wool kilt so I don't know how they are for sitting). Just for practical reasons I would avise against it.

Both the kilts I own are non-wool and their fine for sitting in.
