court proceedings

Court proceedings refer to the legal processes conducted in a courtroom to resolve disputes or address criminal charges. They typically involve several key steps: the filing of a complaint or charge, pre-trial motions, the actual trial where evidence and arguments are presented, and finally, a verdict or judgment. Both parties have the right to present their case, call witnesses, and cross-examine each other. The judge (or jury) makes decisions based on the law and the facts presented. Court proceedings ensure justice is served and uphold legal rights in a structured, formal environment.
