What should I do if I have to go to court?

The first thing a young person should do when notified that they are to go to court, is to get themselves a solicitor. As most young people cannot afford to pay for a solicitor, they should be able to get Legal Aid, which will pay these fees. If, by the time they get to court, a young person still does not have a solicitor, they should ask at the court for the duty solicitor, who will advise them.
