Power dynamics in court

Power dynamics in court refer to the influence and authority different parties hold during legal proceedings. This includes the judge's role as an impartial decision-maker, attorneys representing clients' interests, and the parties’ ability to present evidence or influence outcomes. These dynamics can affect how cases are argued, the level of control each side has, and the fairness of the process. Recognizing these influences helps ensure justice is served by maintaining balanced and transparent proceedings where each party's rights are protected within the legal framework.
