Задание 1. Прочтите и переведите текст. Спишите и письменно переведите часть текста – первый абзац и вторую половину текста со слов: Step 4: The Instructions.
Courtroom Personnel
The main persons in the trial are the lawyers and the judge. In addition to the lawyers and the judge, three other people will play an important role in the trial. The court reporter, who sits close to the witnesses and the judge, puts down every word that is spoken during the trial and also may record the proceedings on tape. The clerk, who sits right below the judge, keeps track of all documents and exhibits and notes down important events in the trial. The bailiff helps to keep the trial running smoothly. The jury is in the custody of the bailiff, who sees to the jurors comfort and convenience and helps them if they are having any problems related to jury service.
Step 4: The Instructions. Following presentation of all the evidence, the Judge in¬structs the jury on the laws that are to guide the jury in their deliberations on a verdict. A copy of the instructions will be sent to the jury room for the use of jurors during their de¬liberations. All documents or physical objects that have been received into evidence will also be sent lo the jury room.
Step 5: Closing Arguments. The lawyers in the closing arguments summarize the case from their point of view. They may discuss the evidence that has been presented or comment on the credibility of witnesses. The lawyers may also discuss any of the judge’s instructions that they feel are of special importance to their case. These arguments are not evidence.
Step 6: Jury Deliberation. The jury retires to the jury room to conduct the delibera¬tions on the verdict in the case they have just heard. The jury first elects a foreman who will see to it that discussion is conducted in a sensible and orderly fashion, that all issues are fully and fairly discussed, and that every juror is given a fair chance to participate.
When a verdict has been reached, the foreman signs it and informs the bailiff. The jury returns to the courtroom, where the foreman presents the verdict. The judge then dis¬charges the jury from the case.
