Best Answer

It is customary to rise when the judge enters or departs the courtroom and when the jury enters and departs the court room. If you don't you may get a lecture from the judge and a cool place to sit for a while while you ponder the advisability of standing when directed. As a defendant, why would you even want to annoy the judge or jury who is going to decide your fate?
