Abstract

„There is nothing so offensive to the dignity of the courtroom as the loss of the calmness of the court’s voice.” – wrote Géza Káplány, judge of the Szeged Royal Court of Appeal in 1893. If the parties did not behave in a manner befitting the courtroom, the judge could give them instructions, he could admonish, reprimand, fine, cut off, or even remove anyone from the courtroom if justified. But when the judge „himself falls out of the voice he should use”, the dignity of the court and the authority of the judge have been undermined. In my study I examine from the judge’s perspective the rules of courtroom protocol in the 19th and 20th centuries, the administrative rules and service orders that determine judicial behaviour and the treatment of clients.
