Courtroom private conferences
Sidebars are secondary elements placed alongside main content.
In print, a sidebar is a boxed article or graphic running beside the primary story, offering related information without interrupting the main narrative.
In legal contexts, a sidebar is a conference between attorneys and judge held out of the jury's hearing: The lawyers approached the bench for a sidebar.
Informally, a sidebar is any digression or side conversation: Can I have a quick sidebar with you?
