What should I wear to my Medical Malpractice case?

I'm going to court in a few weeks and I'm not sure what to wear. This is actually a repeat thing, we appealed the last verdict and when it went to Florida Supreme Court, we won a new trial. I'm a stay at home mom and have always been one, so I don't want to dress too nice b/c that just isn't me, but I want to respect the court and dress right. The trial is going to be 3-5 days long, so I gotta come up with a few outfits. The other "problem" is that we moved to another state, so we have to travel & I cannot take all of my stuff with me. It has to be planned out and packed and ready to go. I'm thinking nice skinny jeans with baby doll tops (nice ones) and Mary Jane's as shoes. What about leggings? (The baby doll tops go past my butt, hiney, back-end). I don't wear heels & haven't for 15 years, so it'll pretty much have to be my Mary Jane's. I'm not trying to be anyone else but me, dressing up or dressing down for court & the jury. I'm just worried about it being "dressed down".

1. You should wear what is considered business casual. Preferably not jeans (especially if you've appealed before... it just looks sloppy no matter how expensive the jeans are). Don't wear spaghetti straps or reveal to much skin unless you have a nice blazer over it. Macy's, Marshalls and Old Navy have some basics that look professional but that are still comfortable. If it's in your budget, try Banana Republic. As for shoes, nice ballerina flats or maryjanes are great.
