The determination of the issues of law and fact made by a court; the official ruling that resolves the case

The term is judgment. It represents the court’s final ruling that resolves the case by applying the law to the facts. In a bench trial, the judge’s determination of both law and fact culminates in a judgment. In a jury trial, the jury determines the facts (the verdict) and the court enters a judgment reflecting that verdict and the applicable law to finalize the decision. The other options describe procedural steps (filing a lawsuit, appointing a mediator, summoning witnesses) that do not conclude the case.

The act of summoning witnesses
