Question: 1 / 50

What is a 'Referee' in legal terms?

A professional sports umpire

A person to whom a court action is referred for a decision

A professional sports umpire is incorrect because a referee in legal terms refers to a person or judge who makes a decision in a court case, not a sports game. A witness providing evidence in court is incorrect because a referee in legal terms is not a witness, but rather a person who is responsible for making a decision in a court case. A law enforcement officer is incorrect because a referee in legal terms has nothing to do with law enforcement, but rather makes a decision in a court case.
