The Judge first hears your complaint or claim or dispute or argument.
Then he paraphrases what you have said in his own words.
Then he asks you, "Is this what you mean to say?"
If you say yes, then he turns to the party against whom you have complained and asks him, "What is your response to this?"
Then he listens to him. Then he paraphrases what he has said and asks him, "Is this what you are saying?"
If he says, yes, then the Judge assumes that he has fully heard both sides.
Then he reflects and compares these arguments in light of his previous knowledge in such type of situation.
Then he thinks if there is any reason for him to depart from his previous stands in such cases.
Then, he decides.
And dictates his judgement.
