Most criminal courts can be classified either as adversarial or inquisitorial. Adversarial trials attempt to determine the truth by having the two sides debate each other - the judge and/or jury select the most convincing argument. Inquisitorial trials, on the other hand, attempt to determine the truth by having an official (usually a judge or police official) conduct their own impartial investigation rather than merely listening to the claims of the participants.
