If a court is communicating with you, there are any number of documents that can be considered orders of the court. A summons orders you to appear in court; an injunction orders you to refrain from certain acts. Language contained in a court paper to you that requires you to do or not to do something is an order of the court.

The court (i.e., a judge), during the proceeding of a case can make various written or verbal orders to a defendant (also called a respondent). These orders can be titled in various ways, not necessarily with the word "order" in the title. A judgment issued at the end of a case is an order.

If you fail to do (or not do) what a judge orders, you can be found in contempt of court. Many states now issue orders of contempt immediately if you fail to pay a traffic fine by the due date. Don't fool around with the court. Your inaction when ordered to do something by a court can wind up on your permanent record.

What does a court order look like?

A court order can also be called a decree, writ, edict or judgment, depending on the circumstances. - - - - - injunction - - - - - A Court Order, or the Order of the Court, is a document drafted by a Judge stating that certain events must or must not happen. The Order will be referring to specific individuals and if those individuals do not comply with the Court Order then they risk being penalised by the law, either fined or imprisoned. What a Court Order normally does is make something which is legal for most people effectively illegal just for the named individuals on the Order, for example, in a harassment case person A may be Ordered by the Court not to go within a mile of person B's house (a restraining order). So it's legal for the rest of the world to go within person B's house, just illegal for person A. - - - - - In more simple circumstances the Order of the Court can refer to a Judge's decision or ruling in a case the Judge has heard.
