"Trial by absentia" refers to a legal proceeding conducted in the absence of the defendant. This type of trial occurs when the accused fails to appear in court, often leading to a judgment being rendered without their participation. Such trials are typically subject to specific legal standards and may be more common in certain jurisdictions or under particular circumstances. The concept raises concerns about fairness and the right to a proper defense.
