well
n. The open space at the centre of a courtroom, between the bench and the tables used by counsel. It is a breach of court etiquette for anyone who is not a court employee to enter this area; generally, if a lawyer wishes to present papers to the judge, he will hand them to a clerk for this purpose. A lawyer may only cross the well to “approach the bench” with express permission from the judge. |
