Certainly a few years ago turning up in a wheelchair usually meant
dismissal, as most courts where not accessible for a juror (but had to
be for defendants).

Never quite found out if that also meant less able legal professionals
were affected ...

In the court I attended, there were four different entrances to the court
(judge, accused, jury, public). The legal professionals could use the
accessible public entrance, but the jury were not allowed to, for obvious
reasons.
