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.
A trial before a judge is typically called a "bench trial." In a bench trial, the judge serves as the fact-finder and makes rulings on the law, without a jury present. This type of trial is common in civil cases and some criminal cases, where the parties may choose to waive their right to a jury trial. The judge's decision in a bench trial is final, subject to appeal.
"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.
"Call of the Trial List" typically refers to a legal process in which cases that are ready for trial are scheduled and called before a court. This list includes cases that have completed pre-trial procedures, allowing the court to manage its docket efficiently. The purpose is to ensure timely progression of cases through the judicial system, facilitating the prompt resolution of disputes. Attorneys and parties involved must be prepared to proceed with their cases when called from this list.
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.
The cases are the local cases
