- Definition In open court means an appearance by a party, or his or her attorney, in a public court session, as distinguished from a meeting in the judge's chambers. Reference "Wikipedia article ""in open court"": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_open_court (27.9.2007)"
- Comment "Normally, the public may be present at trials, hearings and similar routine matters. In the United States, the Constitution guarantees criminal defendants the right to a ""public and speedy trial"" under the Sixth and the Fourteenth Amendments. The Sixth Amendment also grants the defendant the right to appear on his or her own behalf.Many courts dealing with children or minors, such as Surrogate's Court, Probate Court, Family Court, Juvenile Court, or Widows and Orphans Court, do not normally hold court sessions in open court."
