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."
Civil cases do not often go to trial, as the majority are settled before reaching that stage. Factors that contribute to the decision to proceed to trial include the complexity of the case, the strength of the evidence, and the willingness of both parties to negotiate a settlement.
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.
The cases are the local cases
Yes. That way you will most likely receive a less severe punishment.
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.
trial jury :P
Before trial, it is important to ask your lawyer about their experience with similar cases, the potential outcomes of your case, the strategy they plan to use, the evidence they will present, the potential costs involved, and any potential risks or challenges that may arise during the trial.
Before a trial, parties engage in pre-trial procedures such as discovery, where they exchange evidence and witness lists, and pre-trial motions to resolve issues before the trial begins. During the trial, both sides present their cases, including opening statements, witness testimonies, and closing arguments, while the judge ensures the proceedings follow legal protocols. The jury, if applicable, then deliberates to reach a verdict based on the evidence presented.
