| | Trial court - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A trial court or court of first instance is the court in which most civil or criminal cases begin. | | | A trial court is distinguished from an appellate court, which reviews cases that have already been heard in the trial court. | | | The trial court is the court where the record of the presentation of evidence is created and must be maintained or transmitted to the appellate court. |

| | While the trial court may have used the incorrect vehicle in the law, the court clearly felt compelled by the evidence to declare that Randy, not Brendan, should be the child's father. | | | If the court determines that it is not in the marital child's best interests to have a judicial determination of paternity, genetic tests may not be performed under court order and the court is authorized to dismiss the paternity action. | | | The trial court equitably estopped Norma from raising the issue of the child's paternity. |

| | Massachusetts Court System: Massachusetts Trial Courts |
| | State courts are often called upon to enforce federal law, and federal courts sometimes must apply state law. | | | The trial court is further subdivided into 7 departments, these departments are each geared to handle particular kinds of cases, although many of these courts share jurisdiction with the other trial courts. | | | The Court has jurisdiction in criminal cases that do not require a prison sentence and conducts probable cause hearings in cases in which a prison term is mandatory. |

| | 1 No. 74: Campaign for Fiscal Equity, Inc., et al. v. The State of New York, et al. |
| | Trial judges and appellate courts are well suited to assess criminal responsibility in accordance with proscribed procedures; to assign liability for breaches of duty; to extrapolate legislative intent; or to interpret commercial agreements. | | | Courts are, of course, well suited to adjudicate civil and criminal cases and extrapolate legislative intent (dissent at 19). | | | That the trial court's "Causation" section is largely devoted to the State's rebuttal arguments, rather than to plaintiffs' prima facie case, is insignificant, in that the court had already incorporated much of the correlation evidence in its discussion of inputs and outputs, as we have done. |

| | Lastly, the Meyers argue that the trial court erroneously entered judgment in favor of the Vogts and MBI because the Vogts’ Warranty Deed is void pursuant to Indiana’s race-notice statute. | | | On review of a trial court’s decision to grant or deny summary judgment, we apply the same standard as the trial court: we must decide whether there is a genuine issue of material fact that precludes summary judgment and whether the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. | | | The Meyers also contend that the trial court erroneously reformed the Warranty Deed between Knauss and MBI because the Vogts failed to prove that such reformation was necessary by clear and convincing evidence. |
