A witness is a person who goes to court to tell the judge or
magistrate about something that has happened. Lots of children
go to court to be a witness because of something they have seen or
because something has happened to them.

Being a witness is an important job.

When you go to court as a witness you might be asked questions
about something that is bad or unpleasant but you should not be
frightened to tell the judge or magistrate about this. They
understand about these things. They will not think that it is your
fault because you have seen something bad or because something
bad has happened to you.

   you have to do is try to answer them. You must always tell
   the truth.

5. What will happen when I go
  to Court?
 You will have an adult to keep your
 company when you come to court.
 This adult may be your social worker.



                        4

You will be asked to sit and wait until it is your turn.

colouring book or a book to read so that you can have
something to do while you are waiting.




                 Bring a book to read while you wait.



Sometimes you may have to come back another day to see the
magistrate or judge.

When they are ready to listen to you, some people will be asked
to leave so that you can have some privacy. You might be
asked to sit in a special place to tell the magistrate or judge
what happened.

                                 questions. Sometimes the
                                 prosecutors are also police
                                 officers and will be dressed in
                                 police uniform.

                                  There might also be people
                                  called lawyers who will ask you
                                  questions.

                                    7
At the Supreme Court you will see a judge sitting high up at a big
desk. The judge might be wearing special clothes and a headdress.
There will also be lawyers who will ask you questions. They
might also be wearing special clothing. There will be several other
people in the courtroom. A person will be sitting and taking notes.

A group of people will be sitting together and listening to what is
happening. They are called a jury. The person who might have
broken the law or done something bad may be sitting in the
courtroom as well.




                     The lawyer will ask you questions.




                                     8
7. What will happen in Court?
When you go into the courtroom,
you will be shown where to sit until
you are called. When it is your turn,
you will be asked to sit in a special
place.

The magistrate or judge will then
speak to you and ask questions such
as: your name, how old you are and
where you go to school. They will
also ask if you know what it means
to tell the truth.

It is very important to tell the
truth. People must always tell
the truth in court. It is all right
to tell the judge or magistrate             The judge may speak to you.
something that is a secret, as long
it is true.
After the magistrate or judge has spoken to you, you will be asked
some questions by one of the lawyers or a prosecutor. This person
has asked you to come to court and will ask you questions which
will help you tell what happened to you. After that you will be
asked some more questions by another lawyer.



                                  9
These people only want you to tell the truth about what you
   can remember. If you really can’t remember what happened,
   just say that you can’t remember. People sometimes forget
   things and the judge or magistrate understands that.

   Listen to each question carefully before you give your answer. If
   you don’t understand a question, you should say so and
   someone will help you. You should always speak in a loud voice
   because it is important that the people listening can hear what
   you have to say.

                                           You might be asked to look around
                                           the court to see if you can point to
                                           somebody. You can take as much
                                           time as you want to. You do not
                                           have to point to the person right
                                           away and you might have to look at
                                           a lot people before you see the
                                           person. If you see the person you
                                           should point to him or her. If you
                                           don’t think the person is in the room,
                                           you should tell the judge or
                                           magistrate.
You might be asked to point to somebody.




                                           10
If you have had to wait for a long time or if you are asked a lot
of questions you might find that you want to go to the
bathroom. Don’t worry about this. If it happens ask the judge
or magistrate if you can go to the bathroom. It would be a
good idea to go to the bathroom before you go to the
courtroom.




              Go to the bathroom before you go to the courtroom.


After all the questions have been asked, you will be able to
leave the court. You will have done an important job and the
judge or magistrate will be pleased.




                             Then you can go home.



                                       11
