Being in a courtroom requires that you follow certain protocols, rules, and traditions. If you follow and respect the rules of the court, you are going to gain the respect of your colleagues. Forming good relationships with judges and opposing counsel can be almost as important as preparing your actual case.

As a new graduate, you may not have real-life courtroom experience, but your law school should have prepared you on at least the basics of appearing in a courtroom. You can explain your general observations on the best practices. If you took litigation courses or did moot court in law school, share those experiences and how you can translate them into real practice.
