procedure

Read a random definition: quae servando servari nequeunt

A quick definition of procedure:

Procedure: A set of rules that explain how things should be done in a certain situation. It's like a recipe that tells you what steps to follow to make a cake. In the legal world, procedure refers to the way that laws are enforced and how cases are handled in court.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Procedure refers to the set of rules and guidelines that govern the conduct of legal proceedings. It outlines the steps that must be followed in order to resolve a legal dispute or issue.

For example, in a criminal trial, the procedure may include the following steps:

  • Arrest of the suspect
  • Booking and processing of the suspect
  • Arraignment, where the charges are read and the suspect enters a plea
  • Discovery, where both sides exchange evidence and information
  • Trial, where evidence is presented and a verdict is reached
  • Sentencing, where the punishment is determined

These steps must be followed in a specific order and according to specific rules in order to ensure a fair and just outcome.

Another example of procedure is the process for filing a lawsuit. This may include:

  • Filing a complaint with the court
  • Serving the complaint on the defendant
  • Discovery, where both sides exchange evidence and information
  • Pre-trial motions, where either side can ask the court to make a ruling on a specific issue
  • Trial, where evidence is presented and a verdict is reached
  • Appeal, where either side can challenge the outcome of the trial

These procedures ensure that legal disputes are resolved in a fair and orderly manner, and that the rights of all parties involved are protected.
