What are legal processes?

Legal processes are like the rules of a big game that people play when they need to solve problems or make fair decisions.

Imagine you and your friend are playing tag in the park, but there’s a disagreement, who gets to be "it"? Instead of arguing forever, you both agree on a simple rule: the person who was tagged last becomes "it." That’s like a legal process, it helps people figure out what happens next when they need help making fair decisions.

Legal processes are the steps that people follow to solve problems or make agreements. These steps can be as simple as shaking hands and saying, “We agree,” or as complex as going to court with a judge helping decide who’s right.

Think of it like baking a cake: you need ingredients (like rules), you mix them in order (like following steps), and then you get your final result, just like getting a fair answer from a legal process.
