A quick definition of your witness:

Term: YOUR WITNESS

Definition: When a lawyer is in court, they may say "your witness" to signal that it is time for the other side to start asking questions. This means that one side has finished questioning a person and now it is the other side's turn to ask questions. It's like passing a baton in a relay race, but instead of a baton, it's a witness.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: "Your witness" is a phrase used in a courtroom by a lawyer to indicate that they have finished questioning a witness and it is now the other side's turn to ask questions. It is also known as "take the witness" or "pass the witness."

  • Lawyer 1: "Your honor, I have no further questions for this witness."
  • Judge: "Very well. Your witness, Lawyer 2."
  • Lawyer 2: "Thank you, your honor. Mr. Smith, can you please describe what you saw on the night of the incident?"

In this example, Lawyer 1 has finished questioning the witness and passes the opportunity to Lawyer 2 by saying "your witness." Lawyer 2 then begins their questioning.

  • Lawyer 1: "Your witness, your honor."
  • Judge: "Proceed, Lawyer 2."
  • Lawyer 2: "Thank you, your honor. Ms. Johnson, can you please tell us what you heard on the night of the incident?"

In this example, Lawyer 1 uses the phrase "your witness" to indicate that they are finished questioning the witness and it is now the other side's turn to ask questions. The judge then prompts Lawyer 2 to begin their questioning.
