Dress Code For The Criminal Courts in Nashville,Tennessee

I still believe in dress for success especially if you have been charged with a crime. If you dress like a drug dealer expect the judge or District Attorney to treat you one as well.With that said , I would like to provide some information on the dress code proposed by the Nashville Criminal Courts and General Sessions Courts of Davidson County. The Judges have adopted a dress code for individuals appearing in the courtrooms of the A.A. Birch Building.One may not enter a courtroom wearing halter tops,T-Tops,tank tops or see through tops.No exposed midriffs.No shorts.No exposed underwear or sagging pants.If you are dressed inappropriately your case will not be heard until you return with the proper clothing. This is the code imposed by the court.I will give you my dress tips in a later post.
