A trial.

A trial may be defined broadly and comprehensively as a judicial

examination of the issues between the parties. Although some variations

may exist, trials are usually held before a judge sitting alone, a referee,

or a judge and jury. The counsels for the prosecution and for the defence

make opening statements to the jury, outlining what each sees as

the nature of the case and what each hopes to prove as the trial proceeds.

Next, the counsel for the prosecution presents his case by calling

witnesses, questioning them, and permitting them to be cross-examined

by the counsel for the defence. The counsel for each side then makes a

closing argument to the jury, summarizing the evidence in a light most

favourable to their respective clients. The function of the jury is to determine

the facts of the case, whereas the function of the judge is to determine

the applicable law and to oversee the parties’ presentation of

the facts to the court. After the judge has instructed the jury on the applicable

law, the jury will retire to deliberate in private until it reaches a

just verdict, which will then be announced in open court. The verdict of

a jury terminates the trial. In a case tried before a judge sitting alone, the

decision of the judge constitutes a termination of the trial.
