There are several layers of evidentiary proceedings. Arraignment Preliminary hearing Evidentiary hearing Opening statements
At a civil court hearing, parties present their arguments and evidence before a judge to resolve a dispute. Key procedures include opening statements, presentation of evidence, witness testimony, cross-examination, and closing arguments. The judge then makes a decision based on the evidence and arguments presented.
Prejudicial
Preliminary hearings take place after someone has been accused of a crime. These hearings are carried out so that the judge may determine if the there is sufficient evidence for a trial. Preliminary hearings are sometimes called "evidentiary hearings."
No a hearing comes before a trial. Hearings are held so that attorneys can argue what evidence is allowed in the trial.
No. An appellate court does not hear evidence. Appellate courts review the record and determine whether or not a mistake of law has been made.
Impartial Jury
There is no such thing as a desposition hearing. If you are asking about a deposition, this is a time when the attorneys interview a witness, on the record, to get his/her testimony "nailed down" before trial. However, this is not a hearing and does not take place in court.
Unsure what is being asked. When the defense and prosecution "rest" and the case is ready to go to the jury, the judge "instructs" them in the law(s) applicable to that case before sending them into deliberation.
In the process of laying the foundation for a case, evidence such as witness testimony, documents, physical evidence, and expert opinions are presented to support the claims being made. This evidence helps establish the facts and credibility of the case before it is presented in court.
A Writ of Habeas Corpus.
Before modern forensic science techniques, criminals were usually caught through witness testimonies, confessions, or physical evidence like fingerprints, footprints, and bloodstains. Investigative methods such as surveillance, stakeouts, and informants were also commonly used to apprehend suspects.
