For a civil lawsuit - the judge sits on a raised bench, the jury sits off to one side in the jury box, the plaintiff sits at a table closest to the jury with their attorney and the defendent sits at a table with their attorney.

This depends on the hierarchy of the court, the location and the purpose. In a criminal court, generally the court would be arranged with the bench (where the judges sit) at the front of the room directed towards the gallery, witness box and legal reps, directly opposite this will be the table where the lawyers sit. Behind the lawyers, there will be a gallery used for the public and media. The witness stand is generally to the right of the judges bench in a position where all in the court can view. Further to the right the jury is usually positioned. The accused can sometimes be at the back of the court, to the left of the court or behind the legal rep. This depends on the layout of the court and security plans and so on. Sometimes the accused may appear by videolink rather than attend court. The victim will usually sit in the public gallery, or next to their lawyers depending on the type of trial. However if the victim is required to give evidence he or she may not be allowed in the court room until after.

It quite relies upon which courtroom and what variety of courtroom circumstances. for occasion, a criminal trial will incorporate a prosecutor jointly as a civil trial has a plaintiff. an ordeal in a courtroom of checklist will oftentimes require a stenographer, jointly as an ordeal in an inferior courtroom won't. A civil trial held in a South Austrailan courtroom won't have a jury, yet in another places it could. A civil trial on the subject of a extremely small sum of money is oftentimes heard with out attorneys, while for extra severe concerns the case is often presented by attorneys.

If you must know, judge is in front facing everyone.
Defendant and Prosecutor are at tables facing the judge. Jury off to the side, as is the bailiff and court recorder.
Witnesses are outside the courtroom waiting to be called.
People watching the trial are in benches behind the defendant and prosecutor.

The judge is at the front of the room, can be centered or in the corner. The prosecutor's/plaintiff's table and the defendant's table are set at either side in front of the judge. The prosecutor's/plaintiff's table is always the one next to the jury box. The gallery (watchers) sit behind the bar.

I am not sure but I am pretty sure the accused gets a front row seat.

It depends on the courthouse. You can look up the basic layout structure of a specific courthouse on a few websites.
