§ 901 Legal Testimony Compulsion

• •A 'proceeding' is any official meeting or process where someone can be forced to answer questions or give information.
• •This includes court cases, government hearings, or even investigations by people in charge.
• •If the law says you have to talk or answer questions in these situations, it counts as a 'proceeding'.

You see a car crash and the police ask you to tell them what happened.

This is a 'proceeding' because the police can make you answer their questions about the crash.
