Courtroom Procedures
Courtroom procedures are the established rules and practices that govern how legal cases are conducted in a courtroom. These procedures ensure that trials are fair and orderly, allowing both sides to present their arguments and evidence. Key participants include the judge, plaintiff, defendant, and jury, each playing a specific role in the process.
During a trial, the judge oversees the proceedings, ensuring that laws are followed. The plaintiff presents their case first, followed by the defendant. Witnesses may be called to testify, and both sides can present evidence. After all arguments are made, the jury deliberates to reach a verdict.
