What is the dresscode for jurors in Australian courts?
<p>Are there any rules and regulations jurors in Australian courts have to abide by when it comes to how they are dressed in court? If so, what would be the consequences of violating them? Can jurors be reported for contempt of court if their outfit is considered improper?</p>

<p>Make sure you are dressed neatly. You do not need to wear a suit but you should not wear singlets, thongs, untidy, revealing or ripped clothing. ​​</p>

<p>Failure to adhere to the dress code is unlikely to be, of itself, <a href="https://www.judcom.nsw.gov.au/publications/benchbks/local/contempt_in_the_face_of_the_court.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">contempt of court</a>. Depending on the circumstances and the temperament of the presiding officer, it might be ignored or the person might be ordered to leave the court, possibly with an order to return suitably dressed. Failure to follow an order of the court <em>is</em> contempt. So, for example, if a person called for jury service was inappropriately dressed, the judge might order them to attend the next day correctly attired: if they didn’t, then they might hold them in contempt for failing to follow the order, not for being inappropriately dressed.</p>
