Terms Used In Alabama Code 12-11-8

  • Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.

The term “session of court,” when used in this code, means any period of time fixed by the presiding judge of the court for the trial of cases or the transaction of any other business, unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary.
