Both sides present the basic facts of the case. The judge then determines if there is probable cause to believe you commited the crime. If he finds that way, then you will then be held to answer. In other words, a jury trial will be set in the matter. \n\nOther matters can be dealt with on the day of a preliminary hearing, such as bail reductions/increases and/or release terms.

PRE-PLAN your speech.\nDecide which aspect(s) of character are most important. (Honesty, courage, responsibility, leadership, loyalty, duty, respect, attitude, perseverance, my personal favorite... integrity...?) Using the trait(s) you selected, come up with a thesis statement. Your speech should center around this idea. Brainstorm at least three to five specific examples to support your statement. These may include any of the following:\nexamples from history, literature, or current events\nthe information you are given on the test\nexamples from your own personal experience\nDecide on your three strongest examples. These should be the ones you can explain in the most specific detail. In general, examples from your personal experience are easier to write about, but they are weaker in the eyes of the reader.\n\nWRITE your speech.\nStart with an introduction. Your introduction should explain what you're going to talk about in your speech, but DON'T say something like, "This speech is about..." or, "I'm going to tell you about..." Assume your audience is smart enough to figure this out. Your introduction should include some kind of HOOK--something to catch the reader's attention. There are many types of hooks. Try a question, a quotation, a definition, a statistic, a single word, an action, a description, or an unusual statement. The goal is to get your audience interested and to get them thinking.\nNext is the body of your speech. This is where you take those three strongest examples you brainstormed during your planning. Start with one you can explain very clearly.\nUse transitions in each of these paragraphs. Develop these paragraphs thoroughly. Keep the writing focused. Don't ever lose sight of your thesis statement! Everything in a paragraph should be connected, and it should all make sense together.\nGive lots of details. Poor example: "Integrity is a good quality for a person to have because it makes you a good person." Good example: "Integrity is a vital quality which allows a person to make decisions based on his or her understanding of what is 'right' and what is 'wrong.'" Poor example: "Martin Luther King, Jr., had lots of integrity because he was a good guy." Good example: "Martin Luther King, Jr., is a paradigm of integrity because he understood the importance of equality. He took it so seriously that he fought for equality, traveling around the country and speaking to innumerable people."\nUse strong words. Try to use words that will not make you sound intelligent, not supercilious.\nWrap up your speech with a competent conclusion. Watch out for these common mistakes:\nDON'T say the exact same thing you've said already.\nDON'T say something like, "Now you know about..." or, "I have just told you about..." And NEVER say "I hope you enjoyed listening to my speech!"\nUse a simple form in your conclusion. Restate your main thesis (in different words). You may want to generalize a little bit. Look for a common theme in all your examples which you can apply. You can end with another hook, if it seems appropriate.\nRemember, your conclusion is the LAST thing your audience will hear. It doesn't have to be pure genius, but it should leave a good last impression.\n\nREVIEW your speech.\nMake sure it makes sense. Check for grammatical errors; in particular, watch for sentence fragments and run-on sentences. Have a friend, family member, or teacher read it. Practice it several times by yourself and in front of a few people. Get some good feedback.\n\nGood luck! Feel free to contact me with specific questions.

It's "voir dire". \nThe phrase "voir dire" derives from Middle French; in modern English it is interpreted to mean "speak the truth" and generally refers to the process by which prospective jurors are questioned about their backgrounds and potential biases before being invited to sit on a jury.\n\nSample Questions to be asked to prospective jurors:\n1. Do you have an opinion concerning the alleged facts in the case?\n2.Are you related to anyone involved with this case?\n3.Have media accounts of this case caused you to form an opinion about the defendant?\n4. Have you ever served on a jury before in a criminal case?\n5. Do you believe our system of justice is fair?\n6. Do you understand that the prosecution must show "beyond a reasonable doubt" that the defendant is guilty as charged?\n7. Will it be hard for you to disregard evidence the judge rules as inadmissible after you've heard it in open court?\n8. Do you believe that the defendant is innocent until proven guilty in this court?\n9. Is there any reason you can't sit as an impartial juror in this case?

The clerk of the court should be able to tell you.

It should be 'course of action'.\nHow about 'format'? Or 'method'?

The city is required to present evidence that the defendant was in violation of the city ordinance prior to the defendant presenting any evidence.\n\nThe city will call their first witness and will ask questions necessary to bring out all the facts the witness has knowledge of concerning the case.  After the city attorney has asked questions, the defendant will have a right to cross-examine the witness.  During cross-examination, the defendant may not testify or argue with the witness.  At that time the defendant may only ask questions to elicit answers from the witness.  The defendant may only ask for information which deals with the issues of the violation of the ordinance.  After the defendant has completed his examination and the city has completed its examination of the first witness, the city will call their next witness.  The same procedure as to examination is followed with all of the witnesses called by the city.\n\nAfter the city has called all their witnesses they will rest their case.  At that time the defendant has a right to present evidence.  He may call witnesses and if so, he will examine them first and the city attorney will have the right to cross-examine them after the defendant's examination.  During the defendant's examination of the witness, his questions need to be stated in such a way that the witness will give the facts in his answer.\n\nThe defendant may also testify although he is not required to do so and it will not be held against him if he decides not to testify.  If the defendant testifies, he will tell what happened in his own words.  The city attorney will have the right to cross examine him and he is required to answer the city attorney's questions.\n\nAfter the defendant has completed his case and the city has completed their case, the court will make a decision.  If the defendant is found not guilty, the case is over and the defendant's appearance bond will be refunded.  If the defendant is found guilty, the court will assess punishment not to exceed the maximum authorized under the city ordinance plus court costs.If the defendant is found guilty, he has a right to appeal and receive a new trial.  In order to appeal, the defendant must post an appeal bond as set by the court.  The defendant will then have a new trial before a district judge who will make a determination of his innocence or guilt.  In a new trial the judge will make a finding on what is presented and is not bound by any finding of the Municipal Court.  If the defendant is found innocent, his appeal bond will be refunded and the case is over.  If the defendant is found guilty, the district judge will set the fine and costs.  The amount of fine and costs may be more or may be less than what the Municipal Court imposes.  From a finding of guilty in the second trial, the defendant has a right to appeal on the record to the Court of Criminal Appeals. you speaking will help put that rapist away for good! i wish you luck!

ask your attorney when you are in court

I have on several occasions.\nUsually depending on your locality, it may be different.\nIn Los Angeles, basically on your first day, the only day,  you need to show up, it is all about being signed in.\nThey give you a brief run down of what is expected of you, and show you a short documentary of what happens in court.\nOnce that is over, you sit and wait. There are usually about 100 people there, and  you sit and wait, until your name is called.\nThen you go to a court room, where you are asked questions by the Judge, who will tell you what his trial is all about, and how long it will probably take.\nYou can tell the judge, that because of the length of the case, and pressing problems you may have, that you can't sit on that jury. You will be excused and returned to the waiting room, for another possible trial.\nIf the trial is a short one, usually three to four days, and you can sit on that trial, you will be held there for questions by the Attorneys. They will decide on whether they wish you to be on their jury panel.\nThen if you are accepted, you will be given a date and time to show up for that trial.\nIf not, it's back to the waiting room again.\nUsually, the day lasts from eight in the morning to five in the evening, with breaks in the morning, lunch and an afternoon break.\nIf you aren't called for a trial duty, by five o'clock, the jurors are released to go home.\nYou are only required to spend the one day in Jury pool.\nIn Los Angeles, when you reveive your summons, it gives you a pool number, and a telephone number, to call each day, for a period of one week. When they call, they will give you the numbers of those who have to come to Court the following day. If your number is called, you show up the next morning and the above happenings, will occur.\nAt the end of the day, if not chosen, you will receive a statement, stating you have completed your Jury duty, and will not be needed for one more year.\nSo far, I haven't sat on a trial, so someone else may have to fill you in on that.\nCheck your Courts website, they have all that information there, as what to wear etc. \nGood luck.

Very simple process. A group of jurors (16 to 23) will sit in a room and be presented with the case. They will call you in, and a lawyer will ask you questions about what you know about the case. That's about it! Good luck!

Pick any case that the Supremes have accepted for argument but not yet heard.  Do a complete review of the history of whatever the point of law is.  Talk about the oposing views.  Resolve the question however the hell you want.  Predict that the Supremes will come to the same conclusion.  Give it to the editors.  Go get drunk.
