First of all, collect and organize evidence materials.
Evidence material is the most critical part in the trial process, which is directly related to the success or failure of the case. Therefore, the parties or their attorneys should collect all kinds of evidence related to the case in advance, including but not limited to documentary evidence, physical evidence, witness testimony, audio-visual materials, etc. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure the authenticity and legality of these evidences, so as to avoid insufficient or invalid evidence in the trial.
Two, familiar with the facts of the case and legal provisions.
The parties or their attorneys should have a thorough understanding of the facts of the case and make clear the focus of the dispute and the opinions of both parties. In addition, we need to be familiar with relevant laws, regulations and judicial interpretations, so as to accurately quote legal provisions in the trial process and provide strong legal support for the case.
Third, prepare court statements and debate materials
Statements and debates in the trial are important links in the trial process. The parties or their attorneys shall prepare a draft statement of the trial in advance and clearly state their opinions and reasons. At the same time, for the opinions and evidence that the other party may put forward, we should also prepare corresponding rebuttal materials and debate strategies.
Fourth, understand the trial procedures and rules.
Understanding the trial procedures and rules is very important to ensure the smooth progress of the trial. The parties or their attorneys should know the relevant provisions of the court in advance, including the time, place and participants of the trial. In addition, it is necessary to understand the order of speech and the rules of proof in the trial, so as to make statements and debates in an orderly manner.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) Pay attention to the etiquette and attitude of the trial.
Politeness and trial attitude are also aspects that cannot be ignored in the trial process. The parties or their attorneys should maintain good court etiquette and respect the judge and the other party. In the process of presentation and debate, we should maintain a calm, objective and polite attitude and avoid emotional or offensive words.
To sum up:
There are many things to prepare for the trial. The parties or their attorneys shall collect and sort out the evidence materials in advance, be familiar with the facts of the case and the legal provisions, prepare the court hearing statements and debate materials, understand the court hearing procedures and rules, and pay attention to the court hearing etiquette and attitude. Whether these preparations are sufficient or not is directly related to the success or failure of the case and the smooth progress of the trial.
