Key Takeaways

  • •A judge must make a decision on any challenge in court.
  • •The decision must be written down in the court's records.
  • •This keeps things fair and clear for everyone.

Example

If someone in court says a juror shouldn't be there because they know the person on trial, the judge has to decide if that's a good reason to remove the juror.

The judge will say yes or no to the challenge, and their decision gets written in the court's notes.
