Answer 1

Answer:

Bailiff

Explanation:

A court refers to an enclosed space such as a hall or chamber where legal practitioners (judges, lawyers or attorneys and a jury) converge to hold judicial proceedings.

There are different types of courts and these includes;

I. Supreme court.

II. Circuit court.

III. Appeal court.

IV. Trial court.

A trial court refers to a court of original jurisdiction and as such it is the court where issues of fact, evidence, laws, and testimony for a litigation are first received, considered and decided.

A bailiff is an armed law enforcement officer entrusted with the security of the courtroom during a criminal trial process. Thus, a bailiff is one of the participants in a criminal trial process, who is saddled with the responsibility of maintaining law and order in a court of law while watching a criminal such as a prisoner.
