What does the Supreme Court's decision do?
We need to know the case before we can answer your question.
Will you be charged for not going to jury duty if you move before the date and you cant go?
You should not just ignore the jury-duty summons, call the court and let them know of your situation.
How do you get dismissed from a grand jury?
I think you would have to go before a judge and state your case why you should be dismissed. I was asked to be on my local grand jury and had an interview with a judge before hand and I know you sign on for 2 years to be on the jury. I don't think they will let you off with a flimsy excuse.

Do you capitalize jury?

What does it mean when someone is facing an indictment?
TO accuse them of a crime in a court of lawAnother View: An indictment is a formal accusation of a felony, issued by a grand jury based upon a proposed charge, witnesses' testimony and other evidence presented by the prosecutor.

Why is it important to understand how the court system is organized and how it functions before reading case law?
It affects the reading of the cases. You need to know which court is reviewing the decision of another court. And the decisions will be ranked by precedence according to the highest level court.
What instructions did the judge give the jury in the Anthony Madril murder case?
For a verbatim recitation of the judges "instructions to the jury" for this particular case one would have to have access to a copy of the trial transcript. . . . which I do not. However, once it is completed the trial information becomes 'public' record. If you wish to know what it was you will have to go to the Clerk of Court's Office and request to see it because I SERIOUSLY doubt that it is posted on-line.
In the US how does one find records of civil court cases that either did not go to trial or settled before judgment?
Even if the case settled prior to trial - if the case was filed with The Clerk of The Court and it appeared on the court's docket, then there would be a publicly available record of it in the Court Clerk's Office. You would have to know where, and in what court system, the case was filed in order to locate the records of the proceedings and learn what the final dispostion was.
What happens when you throw your jury summons away?
The jury commission either simply sends you another one, or sends you a summons to appear in court for imposition of fines or other penalties asks the court to issue a warrant for your arrest. Each state has its own laws on the penalties for ignoring a jury summons and they will be stated on the summons. You should read them before you throw it away just so you know what to expect.AnswerIt doesn't matter if you throw away the summons or not. If you do not appear as directed, you can be subjected to fines and/or jail for ignoring the court's order.
What happens after a court case?
Please be more specific. What kind of case? What is it you are asking about? What do you want to know?
Why are some civil cases settled before they go to court?
It's often cheaper to settle out of court than to go through a court battle. Additionally, and probably more importantly, one does not know the outcome in advance of a trial (either by judge or a jury). Settlement offers the advantage of predictability in that the parties can fashion their own compromise.
