It depends on the type of case. If you are a defendant in a criminal action, you can plead guilty. In a civil matter, you may be able to dismiss if you are the plaintiff, but only if there is no counterclaim against you.
You'd need to talk to a lawyer in your area for specifics on your case.
"Trial attorneys generally handle cases that involve money damages. They can usually resolve the cases before an actual lawsuit is filed, as well as handle arbitrations."
Yes, that is the level at which most federal cases are first introduced.
Custody cases are cases that are not decided upon by a jury. Traffic court cases are also not cases decided upon by a jury.
Yes. That way you will most likely receive a less severe punishment.
The cases are the local cases
It is less costly to settle a case before it goes to trial. Also, trials are mostly unpredictable so a settlement may be in the best interest of the parties. On the other hand there are cases where the outcome is so predictable that the parties settle.
trial jury
In cases of impeachment.
The Regional Trial Court in the Philippines is primarily responsible for hearing civil and criminal cases of higher value and those beyond the jurisdiction of lower courts. It also handles cases involving family and property disputes, special commercial laws, and other cases assigned to its jurisdiction. Additionally, it serves as an appellate court for decisions of lower courts within its territorial jurisdiction.
trial jury :P
The answer to that depends on the type of crime, the state you are in, and the defendants ability to cooperate. That being said, the number of criminal cases that actually go to trial is quite low. This is because many cases are settled with plea bargains before ever making it to trail. A trial is a very costly and long undertaking so it is much easier to avoid it when possible.
Except in impeachment cases, a trial by jury is a right guaranteed by the Constitution. It is not guaranteed in impeachment cases because life or liberty is not at stake.
