A trial with no jury (aka Trial by Judge or Bench Trial) is where the judge will act as the trier of fact and law. Basically, the presiding judge will determine what facts to believe and render a decision based on his view of the facts. The judge will generally hear the witnesses, go over the evidence, and give the weight and credibility of the evidence as he/she sees fit.
