COURT TRIAL

This is the most important part of the process; it is where you win, lose or lay the groundwork for an appeal, consequently, this tutorial will cover each part of the trial:

• Roll Call
• The Prosecution's Witness(es)
• Cross Examination of the Prosecution's Witness(es)
• The Defense's Witness(es)
• Cross Examination of the Defense's Witness(es)
• Closing Statements
• The Verdict and Sentence

Please study each of these in order. They each contain important information and pointers.

NOTES While you are in court:

• Pay attention.
• Act respectfully.
• Address the judge as "Your Honor".

If you would like to have the information on this site (including the case law) to take with you into court, you can get the CD-ROM.
