Correct answers: 1, 2 and 4.
- They determine the context of words in a law: trial judges must interpret statutes, rules and contracts as part of applying law to the facts.
- They apply precedent to their decisions: trial courts are bound by controlling decisions of higher courts and use prior cases to guide rulings.
- They make rulings based on established rules and laws: judges decide motions and verdicts by applying statutes, rules of procedure and evidence, and legal standards.
Statement 3 is not generally descriptive of trial-court decisionmaking: "looking for original meaning" is a particular interpretive philosophy (often about constitutional interpretation) and is not a standard, general description of how trial judges decide objections and motions.
