A quick definition of two-stage trial:

A two-stage trial is a type of trial that is divided into two parts. For example, one part may be to determine if someone is guilty, and the other part may be to decide on the punishment. It is also called a bifurcated trial. This type of trial helps to simplify complex cases and make the process more efficient.

A more thorough explanation:

A two-stage trial is a type of trial that is divided into two stages, such as for guilt and punishment or for liability and damages. It is also known as a bifurcated trial. In the first stage, the court determines one issue, and in the second stage, it determines another issue.

In a criminal case, a two-stage trial may involve a first stage where the court determines whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty, and a second stage where the court determines the appropriate punishment if the defendant is found guilty. In a civil case, a two-stage trial may involve a first stage where the court determines liability, and a second stage where the court determines the amount of damages to be awarded.

These examples illustrate how a two-stage trial is used to simplify complex cases by breaking them down into smaller, more manageable parts.
