Officials from All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita are talking about what to expect inside a courtroom.

“The trial is a structured process where the facts of a case are presented to a jury in a court of law and they decide if the defendant is guilty or not guilty,” according to the Bail Resource Center & Career Academy.

While the seating locations of the various components of a courtroom may vary, the basic layout of a courtroom is usually the same.

A defendant can expect to see the judge presiding over the case; witnesses to the allegedly criminal activity; the law clerk; a court reporter; the jury; the prosecuting attorney; the defense attorney; the U.S. Marshal or Bailiff; and the seating area for the public.

“A courtroom contains specific seating areas,” states the Bail Resource Center & Career Academy.

The jury sits inside what’s called a jury box, and the defendant will be placed at the defense table alongside their legal representation. The seating area for the public is referred to as the gallery.

The U.S. Marshal or Bailiff typically sit behind the defense and prosecution tables, in front of the gallery, while the law clerk and court reporter usually sit toward the front of the courtroom near the judge.

The judge is seated at the head of the courtroom facing all of its occupants, and beside the witness stand.
