The sitting of a court, legislature, council, or commission for the transaction of its proper business.
A session can be the period of time within any one day during which the body is assembled and engaged in business. In a more extended sense, the session can be the whole space of time from the first assembling of the body to its adjournment.
A joint session is the convening of the two houses of a legislative body to sit and act together as one body, instead of separately in their respective houses.
As applied to a court, the word session is not strictly synonymous with the word term. The session of a court is the time during which it actually sits each day for the transaction of judicial business. A term of a court is the period fixed by law — usually amounting to many days or weeks — during which it is open for judicial business and during which it can hold sessions from day to day. The two words are, however, frequently used interchangeably.
