A complete list of the legal terms and definitions every attorney, paralegal, and law student needs to know.
In any legal proceeding issues to be determined may be of fact or of law. A question of fact is resolved by the “trier of fact,” which may be a jury in a jury trial or a judge in a bench trial (at trial before a judge without a jury). By contrast, a question of law is always resolved by a judge. In cases involving the law of foreign countries the law of that country is viewed as fact not law and must proven like any other fact.
