The term "respondant" usually refers to a person in a civil court trial against whom the legal action is initiated. In a criminal case, a 'respondant' would be referred to as the 'defendant.'
The Supreme Court reviews most cases under its appellate jurisdiction. Apart from hearing legal arguments from the petitioner's and respondent's attorneys, which are limited to 30 minutes each, the entire case review is done "on paper" (or on the computer). Since there is no trial, there is no exposure to a "defendant" (assuming the case involves criminal law). US Supreme Court justices do not have contact, let alone social contact, with parties to cases under review. This would be considered extremely unethical, and could be grounds for impeachment. If a justice has a prior relationship of any kind with the petitioner, respondent, or any party to the case, or any direct or indirect personal interest in the case, he or she would recuse him- or herself due to a conflict of interest, and the matter would be heard and decided without his or her input.
Atticus Finch questioned Bob Ewell, Mayella Ewell, and Sheriff Heck Tate during the trial of Tom Robinson in "To Kill a Mockingbird."
The petitioner waits for the motion to be either granted or denied. If granted the verdict will be thrown out and a new trial ordered, if denied the original verdict will stand.
During a jury trial, absolutely not. The only time I've ever heard a judge directly question a witness was during a non-jury trial when they wanted to elicit specific information about a complicated subjet that the witness had already tesitified to under direct and cross. Anything else, such as suggested in the question, would be MOST improper and result in a mis-trial.
Scout, Jem, and Dill live with Aunt Alexandra, Atticus, and Calpurnia during the trial.
It is a trial solution, as mentioned in the question!
Your question is mixing apples an oranges. Did you mean similarities between indictment and trial proceedings? If not, there is a trial proceeding I believe to impeach a president. Rather it may be a hearing and not a trial. Your question is mixing apples an oranges. Did you mean similarities between indictment and trial proceedings?
