A bench trial is a trial by judge, as opposed to a trial by jury. The term applies most appropriately to any administrative hearing in relation to a summary offense to distinguish the type of trial. Many legal systems (Roman, Islamic) use bench trials for most or all cases or for certain types of cases.
All civil trials taking place in the United Kingdom proceed without a jury and are heard by a judge sitting alone, commonly known as a district judge or, for more serious matters or appeals, a circuit judge.
Summary criminal trials may be heard by a single district judge (Magistrates' Court) or by a panel of at least two, but more usually three, magistrates.
One of the recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry 2008-2009 in Turks and Caicos was that provisions be made for criminal trials without juries, following the precedent in England and Wales. Other examples cited included the United States, the Commonwealth of Nations including India and Canada, the British overseas territories of the Falkland Islands and St. Helena, and the Netherlands.
This interaction at Jackson County superior court took place 8/11/15. In it, prosecutor Daniel Carnes commits perjury in order to obtain a continuance. This was later deemed acceptable both by the presiding judge and the state review board.
White noise at the bench in a Maryland jury trial, why is this the case? If you have ever been in a Maryland courtroom you have probably heard some type of noise blocking out the sound of the judge and the other parties at the bench. The question for many people is why is this case? What is it that is not supposed to be heard? This Maryland medical malpractice educational article will look at that question. Because I have heard some interesting to say the least reason for this white noise by individuals in the courtroom I thought it would be a great idea to explain why you hear this white noise. THE ROLE OF THE JURY IN A MARYLAND TRIAL… The jury will be the sole decider of the facts in a case. For example, whether the doctor did fall below the standard of care causing the plaintiff’s ...

On Tuesday Reuters online reported that Lieutenant Brian Rice, 42, the highest ranking of the six officers charged in the controversial death of Freddie Gray has opted for a bench trial as prosecutors despeartely seek their first conviction in the high-profile case. In 2015 Gray died after suffering a broken neck while being transported in a Baltimore police department transport van. During a pretrial hearing, Rice elected to have Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Barry Williams decide the outcome of his trial rather than a Jury. So far in 3 other cases related to the trial Judge Williams has acquitted two officers, and a jury deadlocked in a third case. http://feeds.reuters.com/~r/Reuters/domesticNews/~3/q7Q9istcV_Q/us-baltimore-police-idUSKCN0ZL1SE http://www.wochit.com This video was ...
REMEDY AND RECOURSE Every system of civilized law must have two characteristics: Remedy and Recourse. Remedy is a way to get out from under that law. The Recourse is if you have been damaged under the law, you can recover your loss. The Common Law, the Law of Merchants, and even the Uniform Commercial Code all have remedy and recourse, but for a long time we could not find it. If you go to a law library and ask to see the Uniform Commercial Code, they will show you a shelf of books completely filled with the Uniform Commercial Code. When you pick up one volume and start to read it, it will seem to have been intentionally written to be confusing. It took us a long time to discover where the Remedy and Recourse are found in the UCC. They are found right in the first volume, at 1-207 and 1-...

We are delighted to present this video of the Cleveland, Tennessee Fox Hunt that was filmed circa 1950. This was made by the state of Tennessee as a promotional film and features the Cherokee Hotel, as well as Cleveland dignitaries including Johnny Dunlap -- the former owner and operator of Cleveland Creamery, director of Cherokee Valley Bank, real estate appraiser and broker and member of the Bradley County Quarterly Court for 14 years. Do you recognize anyone else?
This is the third of three days of the "bench" trial. The slight dis-synchronization of the sound track is an artifact of the conversion process. There has been no editing of the video between the start and end of each session. The forthcoming edited version will include footage from my second camera, for example, to fill in parts of Dr. Caldicott's testimony during which my primary camera was visually blocked. Here is Christine Legere's article in the Cape Cod Times: http://www.capecodonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20141023/NEWS/410220318
The appellate court exclaims: ENOUGH OF THESE FORECLOSURE CASES! Bench trial in a foreclosure case, homeowner wins but Deutsche Bank Appeals. Reversed and remanded for a new trial. An outside party sends out default letters...so how do they know that those letters are sent? http://www.3dca.flcourts.org/Opinions/3D11-2805.pdf In these facts, the trial court erred wh en it ordered an involuntary dismissal of the foreclosure action before the bank had rested its case. The governing rule of civil procedure provides for an involunta ry dismissal for lack of evidence only “[a]fter a party seeking affi rmative relief in an action tr ied by the court without a jury has completed the presentation of evid ence.” Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.420(b) (2012). Simply put, “it is error to direct a ve rdict bef...
