A '''trial''' is a judicial examination of [[issue]]s between parties to an action. In the [[U.S.]], trials are often decided by a [[jury]], while a judge presides over procedural and evidentiary issues, while in the rest of the world trials are nearly always entirely by a judge. [[England]] used to have many jury trials, but less so today. | A '''trial''' is a judicial examination of [[issue]]s between parties to an action.
