Trials require a minimum number of participants and always cap at a maximum level, some allowing for multiple 8 man teams.

Trials cannot be outleveled because teammates are automatically exemplared down.  They may be run multiple times.

A Trial is a lot like a Task Force/Strike Force but they tend to be shorter. Trials contain unusual encounters with enemies that require a high level of cooperation between team members to conquer. Special rewards are given at the end of trials, such as respecifications or enhancements that affect multiple attributes. Most contain a timed finale mission.

Each trial has a minimum team size and a maximum level cap. Trials cannot be outleveled because high level teammates are automatically exemplared down. Special contacts are required to begin the trial but anyone of the proper level with the proper size team may talk to the contact. The trial will spawn enemies at the maximum level every time. They may be run multiple times.

While running a trial, none of the team's other missions are available to them. Once the trial has been formed, you must continue to run the trial until you finish it or drop from it.

Trials have badges associated with them and often have unique mobs, maps, or both.

Raids

Raids are large zone events that have many differences from Trials but are generally listed together with them. Raids do not have contacts, and may be initiated at any time. However, they generally can only be completed by 20 or more level 50 characters divided into multiple teams.
