A quick definition of bifurcated trial:

A bifurcated trial is a type of trial that is split into two parts. The first part is to determine if someone is guilty or liable for something, while the second part is to determine the consequences or damages that should be given. For example, in a criminal trial, the first part would determine if the person is guilty or not, while the second part would determine the punishment. In a personal injury case, the first part would determine who is at fault, while the second part would determine how much money should be paid for damages. This type of trial is also called a two-stage trial.

A more thorough explanation:

Bifurcated trial is a legal term that refers to a trial that is conducted in two stages.

In the first stage, the court determines the liability or guilt of the defendant. In the second stage, the court determines the damages or penalties.

For example, in a criminal case, the first stage determines whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty. The second stage determines the penalty or sentence.

In a personal injury case, the first stage determines who is at fault for the injury. The second stage determines the amount of compensation the injured party should receive.

Bifurcated trial is also known as a two-stage trial.
