Simple English definitions for legal terms

submitted

Read a random definition: quod partitio fiat

A quick definition of submitted:

Submitted: This is when all the evidence and arguments have been presented in a hearing or trial, and it's time for the judge to make a decision. The judge will ask the lawyers if they are done arguing and if they say yes, then no more arguing is allowed.

A more thorough explanation:

Submitted

The point in a hearing or trial where all evidence and arguments have been presented, and the decision is left to the judge. At this point, the judge may ask the attorneys if they are ready to submit the case for a decision. If they agree, no further arguments or evidence will be allowed.

  • After the prosecution and defense had presented their cases, the judge asked if it was submitted. Both attorneys agreed, and the judge took the case under advisement.
  • In a civil trial, the plaintiff and defendant had each presented their evidence and arguments. When the judge asked if it was submitted, the defendant's attorney requested a brief recess to confer with their client. After the recess, they agreed to submit the case.

These examples illustrate the point in a trial where all evidence and arguments have been presented, and the decision is left to the judge. Once the case is submitted, no further arguments or evidence will be allowed, and the judge will make a decision based on the information presented.
