Basically what I really need to know is what are the best settings when your shooting in a court room setting with very high ceilings and not very pronounced lighting? I didnt use a flash as I dont think they would appreciate that, but what ISO and Shutter speeds do I need to maintain? I want to try to have these things sort of locked down before Monday when I go back for another trial so Im not snapping shots and trying to correct them as I go.

GET A TRIPOD. Thats rule #1.
Depeding on lighting you can try as low an aperture as your lens supports with ISO 400. People arent gonna be blitzing in a courtroom so 1/20 should be sufficient (test of course).
The white balance thing, see page88 of manual. You can also cheat if u dont have a white/grey card handy by using an offwhite picture as the source for whitebalancing. It's a surprisingly not wellknown trick

Also, as a tag on to the above, How do you do pictures where the subject appears in focua and the background appears blurred? Is this an aperture setting?

Increase the aperture (higher f/number, try f/14 through f/24)
