Courtroom Procedure

Courtroom procedure is the formal process that guides how legal cases are handled in a court. It typically begins with the opening of court, where the judge and parties are introduced. The plaintiff or prosecutor presents their case first, followed by the defense. Evidence and witness testimonies are presented in a structured manner, allowing cross-examinations. After both sides have presented their arguments, closing statements are made. The judge or jury then deliberates before reaching a verdict. Finally, the court issues a judgment based on the evidence and legal arguments presented during the trial. Each step ensures fairness and justice.
