The answer to yesterday's quiz is a) Bench. Well done to everyone who got it right. For those who weren't quite so sure, here is our definition from our book "The English Legal System: Vocabulary Series".
Bench (noun): This word is used to describe where judges sit in the court room. Historically, judges would sit on actual wooden benches and so the word was adopted for this meaning. It is also used in an abstract sense to describe a group of judges (“members of the bench”). Associated Word: Judge (person).
