Most lower courts do have a set procedure from the beginning of court. However, the Bailiff is the person who begins each session, saying in a strong, raised voice something like:

Bailiff: "Please rise. The Court of the (name of the type of court, such as Second Judicial Circuit), (name of the division of court, such as Criminal Division, is now in session, the Honorable Judge (full name of Judge) presiding."

The Bailiff typically says, after the Judge enters and takes the bench, "Please be seated." But in some courts, the Judge may say this.

Then, the Bailiff or Judge recites the title of the specific case, such as "The State of Ohio versus (person's name), Docket Number ___".

The Judge then addresses first a Jury, if present, then the Prosecutor, then the Defense.

Judges say a lot of things, depending on the jurisdiction, type of trial, context, the nature of testimony, the attorneys' questions and behavior, applicable law, and the judge's personality. There is no one-size-fits-all answer to your question; however, you can get a some idea of what judges say during legal proceedings from attending trials and reading trial transcripts.

See the Related Links section, below, for a list of transcripts.

Biblical judges did not sit at a bench and conduct trials.

God had called Israel to be his witnesses, yet during this time of their history, "everyone did what was right in his own eyes." Each man had made himself god by proclaiming what was right and wrong in his own eyes. This is the same sin as Adam who "knew" or "declared" good and evil.

The judge was the man who proclaimed and trusted God. His mighty and heroic actions showed what men could do when they trusted God. The judges were an embarrassment to Israel because they did not do mighty works for God themselves.

It is in his fashion that Jesus was judge. He said he did not come to judge, but his perfect life, while facing the same temptation we face, leave us without excuse.

So what does a judge say? Repent and trust God.
