A plaintiff typically must take the stand during a trial to present their case and provide testimony about the facts and circumstances surrounding the dispute. This is crucial for establishing their claims and credibility. Additionally, the plaintiff may be cross-examined by the defendant's attorney, which can further influence the jury's perception of the case. Ultimately, the decision to testify is strategic and can depend on the specific legal context and the strength of the evidence.
