Question of Law

Restraining Order

An issue arising in a lawsuit or criminal prosecution which only relates to determination of what the law is, how it is applied to the facts in the case, and other purely legal points in contention. all “questions of law” arising before, during and sometimes after a trial are to be determined solely by the judge and not by the jury. “questions of law” are differentiated from “questions of fact,” which are decided by the jury and only by the judge if there is no jury.
