NOTICE TO ALLEGED CONTEMNOR
To the person alleged to be in contempt of court and for whom a request for jail has been made: 1. It is alleged that you have disobeyed a court order, are in contempt of court, and should go to jail until you obey the Court's order. 2. You have the right to have a lawyer. If you already have a lawyer, you should consult the lawyer at once. If you do not have a lawyer, please note: (a) A lawyer can be helpful to you by: (1) explaining the allegations against you; (2) helping you determine and present any defense to those allegations; (3) explaining to you the possible outcomes; and (4) helping you at the hearing. (b) Even if you do not plan to contest that you are in contempt of court, a lawyer can be helpful. (c) If you want a lawyer but do not have the money to hire one, the Public Defender may provide a lawyer for you. · To find out of the Public Defender will provide a lawyer for you, you must contact the Public Defender after any prehearing conference and at least 10 business days before the date of a hearing before a judge. · If no prehearing conference is scheduled, you must contact the Public Defender as soon as possible, at least 10 business days before the date of the hearing before the judge. · The court clerk will tell you how to contact the Public Defender. (d) If you want a lawyer but you cannot get one and the Public Defender will not provide one for you, contact the court clerk as soon as possible. (e) DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE DATE OF YOUR COURT HEARING TO GET A LAWYER. If you do not have a lawyer before the court hearing date, the judge may find that you have waived your right to a lawyer, and the hearing may be held with you unrepresented by a lawyer. 3. IF YOU DO NOT APPEAR FOR A SCHEDULED PREHEARING CONFERENCE OR COURT HEARING BEFORE THE JUDGE, YOU WILL BE SUBJECT TO ARREST.
