Who are the members of the court?
what people compose the definiton of the word "COURT"?
Court of law? Who are the members of the court? When the judge addresses the lawyers? Is the D.A. part of the court?
Answers:
Normally, the Court refers to the judge or judges assigned and presiding over a particular case or appeal.
More generally, the "officers of the court" include the judges, the clerks, and any attorneys.
Often members of the "Court" are the judges or justices. However, attorneys admitted to practice before a court are considered "officers of the court." A District Attorney (D.A.) is an officer of the court, but more commonly called a "member of the bar," the bar being what devides those allowed to approach a judge to argue as opposed to those that must keep their distance.
It is also imporant to distinguish which court is at issue.
The Supreme Court of the United States is very different from a State Court of Appeals which is also very different from a State Trial court.
It depends on the context, and jurisdiction.
