The courtroom environment is a formal setting where legal proceedings take place. It typically includes a judge's bench, witness stand, jury box, and seating for the public. The atmosphere is serious, as it is a place where laws are interpreted and justice is served. Participants include the judge, lawyers, witnesses, and sometimes a jury. Courtrooms are designed to maintain order and respect for the legal process. Attendees are expected to follow specific protocols, such as standing when the judge enters or exits. The decorum helps ensure that all parties can present their cases fairly and that the rights of individuals are upheld.
