“Leave it in the car”

Those entering the Oconee Courthouse today face a sign announcing a new rule covering courtroom decorum. Beginning today, electronic devices are forbidden inside the courtrooms. Those devices include cell phones, iPads, and Kindles. Clerk of Court Beverly Whitfield says it’s an order from the judges in the 10th Circuit. She says the only exceptions will be attorneys and those who have approved business in the courtrooms.
