A trial in court is a formal process where disputes are resolved by applying the law to facts presented by the parties involved. It usually occurs when two sides—the prosecution and the defendant—cannot settle their disagreement outside of court. Involves offenses against the state. The prosecution must prove guilt “beyond a reasonable doubt.” Involves disputes between individuals or organizations (e.g., contracts, property, injury). Decisions are usually based on a “preponderance of evidence.”
A trial in court is the central mechanism of the judicial system, where disputes are examined and resolved through a structured legal process. It ensures fairness by allowing both sides to present their case before an impartial authority, either a judge or a jury. Protecting the rights of both parties and maintaining public confidence in justice. Oversees the trial, ensures rules of procedure are followed, and in some cases, delivers the verdict.
