Section 611A.034 - SEPARATE WAITING AREAS IN COURTHOUSE

The court shall provide a waiting area for victims during court proceedings which is separate from the waiting area used by the defendant, the defendant's relatives, and defense witnesses, if such a waiting area is available and its use is practical.
