How it's used

This term is strictly reserved for formal legal proceedings conducted by judges or magistrates. It implies a structured, official investigation of evidence and testimony within a courtroom setting. Unlike general discussions about problems or disputes, it carries the weight of state authority and legal finality.

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 處理, which is a general term for handling or dealing with any task or problem. Using 審理 for everyday issues like fixing a broken appliance or managing a minor disagreement sounds unnatural and overly dramatic.
