Depends on the judge. If they are in the mood they could hold you in contempt of court. Or have you removed from their courtroom. More then likely they wouldn't even notice you or think you have a disability and are unable to stand. Having served on a few jury's and witnessing the ego of Judges though I wouldn't try it.

The answer, as most people have stated, is probably not much. Many judges these days even tell people to "keep their seats" when walking in (although oftentimes when Court is called in session, the bailiff or courtroom deputy says something like "Hear ye, hear ye... God bless the United States and this Honorable Court." Thus, when you're standing, it's not so much for the judge but for the institution and the United States.
Failure to stand is to disobey the judge in his presence. He could have you removed, or he could fine you, or he could perhaps even take you into custody for contempt. However, these days, unless you're complely making a fool out of yourself, those things are not likely.

All of the answers are correct. What's the problem with standing for oh about 3 seconds to show respect for our courts?
If you are a defendant it would be especially.
If you have plans on doing this to make some kind of statement you will defintely succeed!!
The statement will be, "Bailiff remove that man from the court!" If you felt the need to show further disrespect he will fine you.

Courts are most respectfull authorities in every Nation.It controls the intire system of rule of law.
Judges are more powerfull than any other personlities of various fields.
We always show full respect to Judges.
if any one denoy or avoid the respect for judisary,he may be punished with Jail and /or fine.
In my view Judges are next to god.

Well, it is unlikely anything would really happen.
If it was causing a big deal, you *could* be held in contempt of court (a misdemeanor in many areas). So I would just stand and not make any further trouble. ;-)
Hope this helps.

Nothing. It's considered rude though. Definitely a dis to the judge.
Could face a contempt charge possibly.

If you are in a wheel chair the judge will understand. It is a show of respect and I just hope its not you the judge has to judge.

The court room is his house. Would you want someone to walk into yours without first knocking? Showing respect to anyone is called using "manners", something most young people have no clue about. Most young people want to show they are not afraid of authority, but they are doing it in all the wrong ways. I blame their parents. But after the child turns 18 it's up to them to find out what their parents didn't teach them and learn it themselves.

Technically...contempt of court ( a misdemeanor)..In reality probably nothing (but extremely poor upbringing, your ignorance is showing)
