The role of the judges is collectively to decide on a verdict for the outcome of the case. Throughout the proceedings, judges will be expected to question each party of advocates on the evidence presented. Judges must also question the witnesses based on their testimonies and other factual evidence. It is essential that judges are fully attentive to all proceedings and consider all evidence presented in their final verdict. It is thus essential that judges have strong background knowledge on the case from prior research, but remain unbiased in their judgment, allowing the verdict to be dictated by court proceedings only.
