You could also call this:
"Both sides must give the court a special document before a trial, if they have a lawyer."
When you are involved in a trial, the prosecutor must give the trial court a special document.
This document is called a memorandum and it must follow the rules set out in section 88(1).
You, as the defendant, must also give the trial court a memorandum, but only if you have a lawyer to represent you, and it must follow the rules set out in section 88(2).
If you do not have a lawyer, you do not have to give the trial court a memorandum.
The memorandum must be given to the trial court by a certain time, which is decided by the rules of court.
You must make sure to follow these rules when giving the memorandum to the trial court.
