In Germany, what do you call proceedings before a court?
In the exam (German)
Wie nennt man in Deutschland ein Verfahren vor einem Gericht?
- aProgrammProgramm
- bProzedurProzedur
- cProtokollProtokoll
- dProzessProzessCorrect answer
Why?
Proceedings before a court are called a Prozess (trial), for example a Strafprozess (criminal trial) or a Zivilprozess (civil trial). A Protokoll is only the written record of what was said in the proceedings. Careful with “Prozedur”: the word sounds similar, but it generally means a sequence of steps.
Translated with AI. In the exam the question is in German, as shown above.
