Legal Procedures

Legal procedures are the formal steps and rules that must be followed in the legal system to resolve disputes or prosecute crimes. This includes filing documents, presenting evidence, and attending court hearings. The process often begins with a complaint or charge, followed by investigations, opportunities for both sides to present their case, and ultimately a decision made by a judge or jury. Each legal system has specific procedures to ensure fairness and due process, allowing individuals to understand their rights and responsibilities throughout the legal process.
