I understand the fringe on the flag, how to confirm it w presiding "judge" while present in court is my goal.
More information is necessary to answer this question. “Maritime Law” includes admiralty within the US constitution. In order to answer this question the facts circumstances legal proceedings information is required.
A court does not operate under maritime law, as opposed to other types of law. It operates under state rules of civil procedure, or the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure that ordinarily govern maritime cases filed in federal court. Maritime law can be the basis of the SUBSTANTIVE law issues in a case, but that is something a plaintiff puts forth in the pleadings. Good luck
