A party that the court feels is hostile against the party they are supposed to testify for. They can be cross examined if they are called. They can be impeached by their own credibility.
Polarize is to force a something or someone to go in only one direction, or to cause people to divide into two very distinct groups. 1  When a special microscope forces the transverse waves created by a light to be focused only in one direction, this is an example of when it polarizes. When a political leader pits one group of people in society against another using inflammatory speech, this is an example of when he polarizes the groups.
Template:Dablink. Polarization (Brit. polarisation) is a property of waves that describes the orientation of their oscillations. For transverse waves, it describes the orientation of the oscillations in the plane perpendicular to the wave's direction of travel.n addition, if the plane of the reflecting surface is not aligned with the plane of propagation of the wave, the polarization of the two parts is altered. In general, the Jones matrices of the reflection and transmission are real and diagonal, making the effect similar to that of a simple linear polarizer.
