Judicial procedures refer to the established processes and rules that courts follow to resolve legal disputes. These procedures ensure that cases are handled fairly and consistently, allowing both parties to present their arguments and evidence. Key components include filing complaints, conducting hearings, and issuing judgments.
In a typical judicial procedure, a plaintiff initiates a case by filing a complaint against a defendant. The court then schedules hearings where both sides can present their evidence and witnesses. After considering the information, the judge or jury makes a decision, which may be subject to appeal if one party believes there was an error in the process.
