In law, a trial is when parties to a dispute come together to present information (in the form of evidence) in a formal setting, usually a court, before a judge, jury, or other designated finder of fact, in order to achieve a resolution to their dispute.

Types of trial divided by the finder of fact

  • Where the trial is held before a group of members of the community, it is called a jury trial.
  • Where the trial is held solely before a judge, it is called a bench trial. Bench trials involve fewer formalities, and are typically resolved faster. Furthermore, a favorable ruling for one party in a bench trial will frequently lead the other party to offer a settlement.

Hearings before administrative bodies may have many of the features of a trial before a court, but are typically not referred to as trials.

An appellate proceeding is also generally not deemed a trial, because such proceedings are usually restricted to review of the evidence presented before the trial court, and do not permit the introduction of new evidences.

Types of trial divided by the type of dispute

Trials can also be divided by the type of dispute at issue.

When were the Japanese war criminals put on trial?
Q. I know the Nazi leaders were put in trial during the Nuremberg Trials, but were the Japanese also?

A. The International Military Tribunal for the Far East (Tokyo War Crimes Trial) was conducted between April 29, 1946 and April 16, 1948, with the judgment delivered November 4-12, 1948. 28 Japanese former politicians, officials, and military leaders were put on trial. 419 witnesses appeared in person before the court, and an additional 779 submitted affidavits or depositions. The Tokyo trials were not the only forum for the punishment of Japanese war criminals, merely the most visible. In fact, the Asian countries victimized by the Japanese war machine tried far more Japanese -- an estimated five thousand, executing as many as 900 and sentencing more than half to life in prison. But with Japan under the control of the Americans, the most… [cont.]

What happens if you sign up for trial offers and dont pay after trial period is up?
Q. Like if you signed up for a trial offer on books to review for so many days and never send the money for them after the trial period is up? Does this go against your credit or anything? even if they dont have your social security number, can they still report it on your credit?

A. If it's a free trial for a newspaper for 3 weeks to see if you like it, then after the three weeks they send you a bill to keep the subscription going. If you don't want to, then don't and they'll stop sending the newspaper. If it's a book it's most likely "on approval", which gives you a certain time to return the book if you don't like it and owe nothing, or keep the book and send them a payment. If you did not return the book within the time frame, then you bought it. If you don't pay, they can do anything that any other creditor with a bad debt can do, including report your delinquency to a credit bureau.
