Private Civil Trial

Trials run according to the same rules of procedure and evidence as trials run under the official auspices of the court. In a private trial, the parties can hold the trial when and where they choose, and they can choose the judge. Lengthy civil cases are well-suited to this approach.

Retired Judge

A former judge who has ended their official career on the bench but may still perform certain judicial duties on a temporary or part-time basis.

Official Trial

A formal examination before a competent authority where evidence is presented to determine guilt or innocence in a legal case.
