Witness stands are the enclosed areas in courtrooms where witnesses sit while giving testimony.
The witness stand typically faces the judge, jury, and attorneys, placing the person testifying in full view of everyone present.
To take the witness stand is to begin giving testimony under oath: She took the witness stand and described what she saw that night.
