How does the Trial System Work? The judge or jury is the “trier of the fact” Both sides present their best arguments and show the weaknesses of the other side’s case

The Trial System listen to testimony from witnesses consider evidence decide the facts in a dispute

Two parties, or sides in a trial Defendant - Person who must respond to the civil complaint or the criminal charges Defendants have the right to a jury trial
