If you are arrested and have to go to court to face charges, the police will give you a date for your first court appearance. It is important to talk to a lawyer before you go to court; a lawyer can help you tell your side of the story and knows how the court process works. If you cannot afford a lawyer, you may still be able to get one through the legal aid program.
Usually your court appearance will be in the community where you were arrested. If you are in jail, the staff will make arrangements to get you to court for your first appearance. If you are not going to be able to get to court, you should have a good reason for not attending, and make sure your lawyer and court worker know. It is your responsibility to find out your next court date and to be there. If you do not go to court, the judge can have you arrested again.
