A bench warrant is a warrant of arrest issued by a judge (as opposed to a magistrate, which issues warrants of arrest for crimes based on the sworn testimony of an officer). A bench warrant is most commonly issued when a person fails to appear for a court date. The judge will issue a warrant for their arrest to ensure they will be in court for the next court date.

Negligence is typically a term associated with civil law – as in a traffic accident case where one car rear-ends another. Most crimes require proof of intentional conduct, meaning the accused knew what she was doing and knew it was wrong at the time. But negligence also has a place in criminal law. It is similar to the term “reckless”, which means that the accused actually appreciated the risk in question and nevertheless engaged in conduct likely to cause harm. The distinction between recklessness and criminal negligence is subtle. Criminal negligence requires proof that the defendant should have been aware of the risk of harm and nevertheless engaged in the conduct.
