It depends on the type of case. If you are a defendant in a criminal action, you can plead guilty. In a civil matter, you may be able to dismiss if you are the plaintiff, but only if there is no counterclaim against you.

You'd need to talk to a lawyer in your area for specifics on your case.

What must happen before and during trial?

Before a trial, parties engage in pre-trial procedures such as discovery, where they exchange evidence and witness lists, and pre-trial motions to resolve issues before the trial begins. During the trial, both sides present their cases, including opening statements, witness testimonies, and closing arguments, while the judge ensures the proceedings follow legal protocols. The jury, if applicable, then deliberates to reach a verdict based on the evidence presented.
