Observe small claims court cases.

[ToadX]

I am from New York.

Is it true that just anyone can go into the court room and observe ongoing small claims court cases? I'd like to observe some court cases to get a better feel of how the system works.

Yes courtrooms are open to the public except for certain proceedings.

We have open courts in this country.
