Courts hear civil and criminal cases from start to finish. In a general trial court, a case is originated when a Plaintiff files a Complaint or Petition to start the case. The clerk holds the documents filed by each party. The Judge or Clerk creates a calendar, and puts the case down for hearings as necessary, and then sets the case for trial when appropriate. The actual trial is held in the court. Similarly, criminal cases are originated when the prosecution files a formal charging document. The court clerk holds all documents, and the court schedules hearings as necessary. When appropriate, the case is brought in for trial.
