A quick definition of judicial process:

Judicial process is the way that courts handle legal cases. It includes all the steps that happen in court, like when someone is summoned to appear in court or when a witness is compelled to testify. There are different types of judicial processes, like civil process for lawsuits or criminal process for crimes. If a process is done incorrectly, it might be void or voidable, which means it can't be used in court.

A more thorough explanation:

Judicial process refers to the legal proceedings and actions taken in a court of law. It includes all the steps involved in a legal case, from the initial filing of a lawsuit to the final judgment or determination.

  • Civil process: This is the legal process that is followed in a civil lawsuit. For example, if someone sues another person for breach of contract, the civil process would involve filing a complaint, serving the defendant with a summons, and going through the various stages of litigation until a judgment is reached.
  • Criminal process: This is the legal process that is followed in a criminal case. For example, if someone is accused of committing a crime, the criminal process would involve the issuance of an arrest warrant, the defendant's arrest, and the various stages of the trial until a verdict is reached.
  • Compulsory process: This is a legal process that compels a person to appear in court as a witness. For example, if someone is subpoenaed to testify in a trial, they are required by law to appear in court and provide testimony.

These examples illustrate how the judicial process works in different types of legal cases. Each case follows a specific set of procedures and rules, which are designed to ensure that justice is served and that the rights of all parties involved are protected.
