For the past three weeks, the Justice Department and Google have questioned more than two dozen witnesses to try to sway a federal judge\u2019s decision over how to address the company\u2019s illegal monopoly in internet search.<\/p>\n

On Friday, that hearing in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia is expected to conclude. To fix the monopoly, the government has proposed aggressive measures<\/a> that include forcing Google to sell its popular Chrome web browser and share proprietary data with competitors. Google has argued that small tweaks<\/a> to its business practices would be more appropriate.<\/p>\n

Both sides will offer closing arguments at the end of the month. Judge Amit P. Mehta, who is presiding over the case, is expected to reach a decision by August. His ruling could have significant implications for Google, its rivals and the way that people look for information online.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what to know about what was argued at the hearing.<\/p>\n
