Can a judge legally throw someone out of court for not being dressed appropriately?

2016-11-15 4:52 pm
I'd like to preface this question by stating that I work the night-shift, and in slow business hours I like to be comfortable when working. My job doesn't require a dress code, I'm a cashier and can wear whatever I want. I always wear gym shorts and flip-flops with socks on cause that's what I'm most comfortable in. So to get right into things, I drove straight from work to court simply because I don't have enough time to go home and change and I don't think I'm legally obligated to dress a certain way in front of a judge. Sure it's the more desirable polite respectful thing to do, but being that I'm half-dead and just wanna get court over with, I decided over my better judgement and risked it anyway. Long story short, after I waited 2 hours for my name to be called, the judge told me to leave and to come back at 1pm dressed appropriately. I respectfully asked the judge if he could reschedule it for a later time as I would be half-dead not getting my sleep and having to work the next night. He angrily just kept repeating 1pm be back here and disrespected me and made me feel like less of a person cause of what I wore. I pleaded with him a second time to please reschedule and that it'd be really hard for me to make it back 5 hours later. He then like a true power hungry douche said that if I said another word he'd hold me for contempt of court, I looked at him blankly, walked away and said 'have a good day' he then said 'Welp that's a $100' He waived it in the end, but still..

Yes. Even you said that you "know" you should have dressed respectfully but that you just didn't "feel" like it.

Yes they can. A judge can pretty much throw anyone out of their courtroom for just about anything.
