Verdict

In law, a verdict is the formal finding of fact made by a jury on matters or questions submitted to the jury by a judge.^[1] In a bench trial, the judge's decision near the end of the trial is simply referred to as a finding.^[2] In England and Wales, a coroner's findings used to be called verdicts but are, since 2009, called conclusions (see Coroner § Inquest conclusions (previously called verdicts)).
