Who works harder plaintiff lawyers or defense lawyers?
This answer depends upon the type of lawsuit involved. Some plaintiff's claims are easily proved, while some are not. The same is true for a defendant. Some defenses are easy to prove and some are not. A lawyer for a plaintiff who was hurt by a car that rear-ended him has a pretty easy job, because a defendant that is not in control of his car at all times (even if the plaintiff's car stops short) is at fault. In that case the defendant's lawyer will work harder than the plaintiff's. On the other hand, a plaintiff's lawyer suing a doctor for malpractice will probably have to work harder than the defendant's lawyer, because he has to prove the doctor's care was below the level of care required. But all things being equal, probably the plaintiff's lawyer works harder if only because he has to prove his case to win. In lawsuits, a tie goes to the defendant. I would have to say Defendant, because they are trying hard to correct something they may have done or may not have done. This is a debateable question. :)
Do both the plaintiff besides the lawyer if there is one and the defendant besides the lawyer if there is one have to show up for a trial?
Only if they want to win. If plaintiff fails to show the case will be dismissed. If defendant fails to show the court will let plaintiff proceed to prove his case. In that situation, there is no contempt of court or any other such charge that would be made against the missing party.

Lawsuit Demand letter?
