What happens when you first appear in court? Your name will be called out by the registrar, and you will have to stand up in the dock. If the charge cannot result in a jail term (for example, careless driving) then you will stand beside the dock. If you don't have a lawyer to represent you, the charge against you will be read out and you will be asked whether you plead guilty or not guilty. If you have a lawyer, your lawyer will usually tell the court what your plea is. What type of plea can I make? You can plead guilty or not guilty. If you are not ready to enter a plea, your case will be put off to a date in either two or three weeks so that you can get legal advice and decide what your plea will be (“remanded without plea”).
