/ˈtraɪəl æt ˈnɪsaɪ ˈpriːəs/ – Phrase
Definition: việc xét xử vụ án dân sự theo trình tự sơ thẩm trước tòa hội thẩm.
A more thorough explanation: A trial at nisi prius is a legal proceeding in which a case is heard and decided by a single judge or a judge and jury, typically in a lower court. This type of trial is held in the court where the case was originally filed, as opposed to an appellate court. The term “nisi prius” is Latin for “unless before,” indicating that the trial is held unless it is determined that the case should be heard elsewhere.
Example: During the trial at nisi prius, the plaintiff presented evidence to support their claim of breach of contract against the defendant.
