For the most part also applicable in English courts. We don't use gavels or have discovery though. We have a list rather than a docket and the process for sequestering is different. Finally, plaintiffs are now claimants - although that's a fairly recent change.
"List" is also used in American courts. "call the list" Docket usually refers to all the entries made in a particular case, but is also used as "is your case on the docket today?"
We do have discovery, and we used to call it that; now we call it disclosure. It's a pity the English system has moved away from the older language still in use in the States, but that's how the language has gone generally.
At least in Canada, too, we don't use the terms "felony" and "misdemeanor". Instead they're "indictable offenses" and "summary conviction offenses", which is less cool.
There once was a Law & Order UK, starring Jamie Bamber (Apollo from BSG… his British accent sure caused me MASSIVE amounts of cognitive dissonance!). So we need another quiz to see if we Yanks watched enough L&O UK (is it still on? Spoiler alert: they killed off Apollo) to learn about the British legal system! I'm sorry to report that I'd only just figured out the difference between a barrister and a solicitor before I became permanently distracted by OH MY GOD, THOSE WIGS! and really never learned much past that.
Another fun difference: I thought it was a joke in "Blazing Saddles" when Marty Feldman addressed the Attorney General (Harvey Korman) as "Your Worship", but that is actually how British people address a magistrate.
You may be seeking "specific performance"--a person to perform contractual duties they are uniquely qualified to perform (acting or music, for ex), or the return or transfer of personal or real property. Money sometimes is inadequate.
When I was eight years old I was forced to stay upstairs while my parents entertained their guests downstairs. I was so put out by this that I drafted a subpoena--I guarantee you that I did not spell it correctly--which I dropped down the stairwell for my parents to see. I didn't know what a subpoena was, but I knew it was something you didn't want to get.
Under the Federal Rules of Evidence and most state rules, the fourth-to-last term refers to any statement not made at the current trial or hearing that is offered as testimony to prove the truth of what is asserted in the statement, unless the statement was made by a witness and is inconsistent with the witness's testimony at trial, is consistent with the witness's testimony at trial and offered to rebut a claim that the witness is not telling the truth, or was made by a party to the case and intended as a truthful assertion. A statement that fits these criteria and does not fall within any of the listed exceptions is [the fourth-to-last term] even if it was directly observed and even if it is the witness's own statement. A better clue would be, "A statement not made during testimony at a current trial or hearing offered to prove the truth of what is stated."
Careful though, hearsay that fits an exception is still technically hearsay, its just allowed into the trial because of the exception. You also describe non-hearsay, such as a statement made by a party to the case and intended as a truthful assertion or adopted by that party as the truth, which you are correct that it would not fit the clue.
It is, but a deposition is part of discovery. As written, I think the clue is too broad to define "deposition." It would need to say something about an interview. If you ask a lawyer the term for the pretrial fact-finding process, they'll tell you it's discovery.
I don't have one. And prior to being on the bench I practiced in front of several dozen different judges. A few had them. Only saw them used a couple times out of thousands of hearings/trials. I don't wear a robe, either, unless it is something highly formal like a jury trial.
Bond should be accepted along with bail. It is frequently used interchangeably with bail (in current American jurisprudence) even when referring to money/cash bond/bail and not only when referring to security bond.
