fact finder (finder of fact)

Read a random definition: falsarius

A quick definition of fact finder (finder of fact):

A fact finder is a person who decides if something is true or not during a trial. This person can be a group of people called a jury or just one person called a judge. Sometimes, a judge might ask someone else called a "special master" to help them figure out if something is true or not.

A more thorough explanation:

A fact finder, also known as a finder of fact, is the person or group of people who determine whether or not certain facts have been proven in a trial of a lawsuit or criminal prosecution. This can be either a jury or a judge, if there is no jury present.

For example, in a criminal trial, the fact finder would be responsible for determining whether or not the defendant committed the crime they are being accused of. In a civil trial, the fact finder would be responsible for determining whether or not the defendant is liable for damages.

Sometimes, a judge may appoint a "special master" to investigate and report on the existence of certain facts. This can happen if the judge feels that the case is particularly complex or if there is a dispute over certain facts that need to be resolved before the trial can proceed.

Overall, the fact finder plays a crucial role in the legal system by ensuring that the truth is uncovered and justice is served.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
