    Keys, money and such are normal and not a problem. No cell phones, pagers, MP3 players or the like. Wear clothing appropriate for business, no shorts, tank tops, and n o t-shirts with questionable material on them. A lady here was sentenced to five days for contempt of court because she showed up for jury duty wearing a t-shirt that said '**** Happens."

    The main thing that courts don't allow is newspapers because you might accidentally read about a case you are about to be selected for.
