The defense attorney will call witnesses to testify and argue as to why the plaintiff shouldn't be awarded damages. The judge or jury then weighs the arguments and evidence of both parties.

The judge will explain to the jury the legal requirements that must be met in order for them to decide whether to go in favor of the plaintiff or against the defendant. This is known as jury instruction. Each side will then present its closing arguments. If the jury cannot agree on a verdict and the judge declares a mistrial.
