Imagine you are a court administrator for the local superior court. You have been asked to speak to a high-school civics class. Specifically

There are different actors in the courtroom, and each has a specific role in how a trial or session will progress. There are also differences between federal and state courts that are important to understand. In this assignment, you will outline details about the actors in the courtroom and federal and state courts. You will gain an understanding of the courts that will prepare you to participate in the courtroom process.
