The term 'courtroom fixture' refers to two items commonly found in courtrooms: a STAND and a witness STAND. A STAND is a five-letter word that refers to a piece of furniture, usually with four legs, used to support something. A witness STAND is a twelve-letter word that refers to a raised platform in a courtroom where witnesses are sworn in and testify. Both the STAND and the witness STAND are essential components of a courtroom, as they provide a place for witnesses to give testimony and for evidence to be presented.
