Judge goes viral after banning people from wearing pyjamas in court

District Judge Craig Long told WNEP he took action because more and more people were turning up for hearings at his Columbia County court in their PJs.

He said the sign is directed at those who are supposed to appear Township court, rather than those who are just stopping by to pay fines or get paperwork.

Judge Long told WNEP: "We have a growing problem of people not dressing appropriately for court.

"I just put it out there as a reminder of the code of conduct that should be followed when appearing in court.

"Just like if you're going to church, you should dress appropriately."
