A quick definition of rise:

RISE (verb)

Rise means to stand up when a judge enters or exits a courtroom. It can also mean that a court takes a break at the end of a day or adjourns finally at the end of a term. In parliamentary law, it refers to a special committee that has finished its work and sends a report to the referring body. When a committee rises, it is like a group of people ending their meeting and going home.

A more thorough explanation:

Rise is a verb that can mean:

  1. When a court ends a term and adjourns finally.
  2. When spectators and participants in a courtroom stand up when the judge enters or exits.
  3. When a court takes a temporary break, like at the end of a day.
  4. When a special committee that has finished its work dissolves and sends a report to the referring body.

For example:

  • After the judge gave the final verdict, the court rose and everyone left the room.
  • As a sign of respect, everyone rose when the judge entered the courtroom.
  • The court decided to rise for the day and continue the trial the next morning.
  • After completing their investigation, the committee rose and reported their findings to the main body.

These examples illustrate the different ways the word rise can be used in a legal context, such as in a courtroom or parliamentary setting.
