Dear Questioner,

If you do not agree with the judge's verdict at a hearing, it's crucial to remain respectful and composed while expressing your disagreement.

Here are some steps you can take and things you can say:

1. Acknowledge the Verdict:

Start by acknowledging the judge's verdict respectfully. You can say something like, "Your Honor, I appreciate the time and consideration you've given to this case, but I respectfully disagree with the verdict."

2. State Your Reasons:

Clearly and concisely state the reasons why you disagree with the verdict. Focus on specific legal or factual points that you believe were not adequately addressed or considered during the proceedings.

3. Present Evidence or Arguments:

If you have additional evidence or arguments that support your position, present them to the court. Be prepared to explain how this evidence or these arguments support your case and why they should be taken into consideration.

4. Request Clarification:

If there are aspects of the verdict or the judge's reasoning that are unclear to you, don't hesitate to ask for clarification. You can respectfully request further explanation or elaboration on specific points.

5. Request Reconsideration or Appeal:

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the option to request reconsideration of the verdict by the same judge or to appeal the verdict to a higher court.

If you believe there are grounds for reconsideration or appeal, you can express your intention to pursue these options.

6. Remain Calm and Respectful:

Throughout the hearing, maintain a calm and respectful demeanor, even if you feel frustrated or disappointed with the outcome. Avoid becoming argumentative or confrontational, as this is unlikely to be productive and may harm your case.

7. Consult with Legal Representation:

If you're unsure about how to proceed or if you need assistance in presenting your case effectively, consult with a lawyer. A legal professional can provide guidance on the best course of action and help you navigate the legal process.

Remember that expressing disagreement with a judge's verdict is a normal part of the legal process, and you have the right to present your arguments and seek recourse if you believe the verdict is unjust.

By following these steps and maintaining a respectful demeanor, you can effectively assert your position at the hearing.

Dear lawyer,

Thank you very much for your complete explanation!

If I don't like the verdict, can I request extra time to show additional evidence, or will it not be possible after the verdict?

Thanks!

You're welcome!

It depends on the specific rules and procedures of the situation or system you're dealing with.

In many legal systems, there are provisions for appealing a verdict or requesting a retrial based on new evidence.

However, the deadlines and requirements for doing so vary widely depending on the jurisdiction and the nature of the case.

In some cases, you may have the opportunity to present additional evidence or arguments after the initial verdict has been delivered, especially if you can demonstrate that the evidence could not have been reasonably presented during the original trial.

However, there are often strict time limits and procedural hurdles to overcome when seeking to introduce new evidence after a verdict has been reached.

It's crucial to consult personally with a legal expert who is familiar with the specific rules and procedures governing your case to understand your options and the best course of action and to provide guidance on whether it's possible to request additional time to present extra evidence and the steps you need to take to do so effectively.

Dear Questioner,

In the session where the judge will announce the verdict, the parties to the case are not present.

The judge does not issue the verdict directly in front of the parties to the case except in criminal cases.
