Court Procedure

If you want to immigrate to Canada, there are a few different ways to apply. You will need to decide which immigration program will work best for you and your family.

•Skilled workers and professionals (Skilled workers are selected as permanent residents based on their education, work experience, knowledge of English and/or French, and other criteria that have been shown to help them become economically established in Canada.)

•Quebec-selected skilled workers (For people selected by the Quebec government to settle and work in Quebec)

•Canadian Experience Class (For people who have recent Canadian work experience or have graduated and recently worked in Canada)

•Investors, entrepreneurs and self-employed people (The Business Immigration Program seeks to attract experienced business people to Canada who will support the development of a strong and prosperous Canadian economy. Business immigrants are expected to make a C$800,000 investment or to own and manage businesses in Canada, and must meet certain experience and/or net worth criteria. The criteria you must meet to qualify are different for each class. Find out if you can immigrate in one of these classes:

•Investors

•Entrepreneurs

•Self-employed

Each application can be made for only one class and the class cannot be changed once the application is submitted. The criteria you must meet to qualify are different for each class.)

•Provincial nominees (Persons who immigrate to Canada under the Provincial Nominee Program have the skills, education and work experience needed to make an immediate economic contribution to the province or territory that nominates them. They are ready to establish themselves successfully as permanent residents in Canada.)

•Sponsoring your family (You might be eligible to be sponsored a family member if they are a permanent resident or a Canadian citizen)

You can find out everything you need to know about Canada Immigration from the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website. I have also provided a link to a page which provides a useful Glossary of Terms with regard to Canada Immigration. You can find the same information on the CIC website if you search through, but it's nice to have it in one place.

It means that the lawsuit has been dismissed, typically after being decided on the merits, and cannot be refiled.

The foregoing answer is correct. The dismissal with prejudice can also be voluntary on the part of the plaintiff. That is often a condition of a settlement of litigation.

In Colorado state, the maximum amount you can sue for in small claims court is $7,500. To have the court award more than that, you would need to file the case outside small claims court.

Small claims court is usually a division of County Court. Civil cases for more than $7,500 can be filed in regular County Court or in District Court.

For more information on filing a small claims case in Colorado, view the Colorado Small Claims Court Information related link. To locate the County Court nearest you, visit the Colorado Courts Guide related link, which will provide a directory of Colorado state courts, as well as online court resources.

Get a good criminal lawyer who can offer a strong defense, or who can plea bargain down to a misdemeanor.

well if demarcus shot lamar then he would be jumped but if the jury wasnt cool they would just slap him and give him a haircut

In many states, a default occurs when the defendant does not file an Answer to the complaint on time. If this happens the plaintiff can request that the court enter this default on the record so the case can proceed without the defendant's participation. Usually, court rules require this request to be in the form of a motion in writing with a copy sent to the defendant's address to put him/her on notice that the case is proceeding. Then, depending on the type of case, the court moves into the "proof" phase, where plaintiff submits proof of the claim in order to get the judgment demanded. The court will not enter the judgment demanded just because defendant did not object to it. In cases of debts, most courts accept a simple sworn affidavit attesting to the amount owed. If the court is satisfied, judgment will be entered. If it is the kind of case where proof is not so easily done, as in divorce cases, a proof hearing is set up and plaintiff appears and gives proofs from the witness stand. Again, judgment will not be entered unless proper proofs are on the record. Most states allow a defendant to make a request that the default be set aside and allow defendant to file an answer. This is usually granted to give defendant his day in court if there were some reasonable excuse for the delay. Courts even allow defendants to make requests to re-open the case if a default judgment has been entered, but this is usually done only when there is some reasonable excuse together with a meritorious defense. Each state and federal court has its own rules governing this whole process so you must check those to find out exactly what your state does.

In most jurisdictions those charged with a misdemeanor do not have to bail out of jail. Most get released on their own recognizance. In some jurisdictions, and in some cases in most jurisdictions, the defendant will have to spend at least one night in jail before he is released by a judge. Some of those charged with misdemeanors, such as repeat offenders and those from out of town may have to post a bail bond, usually in the amount of about $500.

Call the court clerk and they will tell you.

As with anything, the Plaintiff has to prove that Mr. Flaw failed to complete the plumbing work and left water. Hopefully, they had a contract in place for services to be rendered and use that as a guideline.

It would vary by state. Check the states Official Annotated Code for specific details for that state.

To Mirandize a person is to inform (a suspect) of his or her legal rights before questioning. It comes from the U.S. Supreme Court case Miranda v. Arizona in 1966, where the Court held that due to the coercive nature of police questioning, a person must be informed of his Fifth Amendment rights.

Example: If someone had commited a crime in robbery they would have been informed of their wrong doings such as trespassing, stealing, etc.

If they were not informed of that before their courtdate they would not have to go to jail.

Magistrates Courts have 3 part-time judges with some basic legal training, supervised by a professional legal expert called the Clerk of the Court. They deal with most criminal cases (which are usually minor) are limited as to how much they can fine or sentence a defendent.

Crown Courts have a jury and a professional judge. They are not limited to how much they can fine or sentence a defendant (it depends on the crime). They deal with serious crimes and appeals from Magistrates Courts. Appeals (if successful) go to the Senior Courts in London.

Bailiffs provide security in courtrooms. At the beginning of their shifts, they check courtrooms to make sure they are safe. They look for concealed guns, bombs, or other hazards. They also make sure courtrooms are clean. As people enter the room, bailiffs make sure they are not carrying guns. When they find unauthorized weapons, bailiffs take them and store them in a safe location.

Bailiffs announce the entrance of judges into courtrooms. During trials, bailiffs maintain order in the room. They prevent people from entering while judges are instructing juries. They also make sure people watching trials do not talk to the jury. Bailiffs also inform people of courtroom rules and enforce those rules. For example, they may tell people they are not allowed to smoke in the room or that their conversations are interrupting court proceedings. Bailiffs may remove or arrest people who do not cooperate. In addition, they restrain people watching trials who act aggressively when they dislike decisions. If needed, bailiffs contact the sheriff's office for help. In case of medical emergencies, they contact medical staff.

If it is truly lost, the court will reconstruct the file by having the parties provide certified true copies of the pleadings to both the court and the other side. All pleadings should have the court's filed stamp on them since it is standard practice to obtain "Filed" copies from the Clerk when filing the originals. At the same time each party will review what the other has sent to the court to confirm that they are copies of the pleadings that had been served on them earlier. Once all parties agree that the file has been reconstructed with true copies of all pleadings, the file will be complete.

Some courts microfilm pleadings upon filing or accept filings electronically. In such cases the court itself can reconstruct the file.

Shortly after all that trouble, the original file will be found behind a radiator.

It is an order issued by a judge actually dismissing the charges that were brought in the case - usually for some legal insufficiency, or lack of evidence, of the case itself. There are two types of dismissal: Dismissal WITH Prejudice, and Dismissal WITHOUT Prejudice. WITH prejudice means that the same charges cannot be re-instituted and brought before the court again,. WITHOUT Prejudice means that the charges MAY be re-instituted and brought before court again AFTER the legal insufficiency is cured.

A court order can also be called a decree, writ, edict or judgment, depending on the circumstances.

A Court Order, or the Order of the Court, is a document drafted by a Judge stating that certain events must or must not happen. The Order will be referring to specific individuals and if those individuals do not comply with the Court Order then they risk being penalised by the law, either fined or imprisoned. What a Court Order normally does is make something which is legal for most people effectively illegal just for the named individuals on the Order, for example, in a harassment case person A may be Ordered by the Court not to go within a mile of person B's house (a restraining order). So it's legal for the rest of the world to go within person B's house, just illegal for person A.

In more simple circumstances the Order of the Court can refer to a Judge's decision or ruling in a case the Judge has heard.

It depends on the situation. I had this exact same situation occur to me, but I was the defendant and I wanted to fight the charge. I opted to go to trial, and from that point I had 30 days to receive my quick and speedy trial (CA). When I was 10 days away from my trial date, I had to go into court, and the (so called) victim was supposed to be there as well, but she wasn't. Long story short, during the last 10 days leading up to my trial date, I had to return to court nearly every day to see if the District Atty found and got her to to come in, and if not, to see if he wanted to dismiss or keep "trailing" until the day prior to trial. On the day prior to the trial date, the District Atty announced to the judge that he was unable to proceed because he couldn't locate the victim. In my case, I had evidence that would have helped me, and without his star witness, the D.A. had no chance of winning.

I'm not a legal guru, but I'd say if there is enough evidence (medical records, other witnesses, etc...), the District Atty will go after you, even if he doesn't have the victim.

A judge (in court) can not practically lie. The court proceedings are all transcribed and the judge does not give evidence, his/her role is to ensure that the trial is conducted fairly and to arbitrate on the meaning of the law as it pertains to the case.

If the judge makes a mistake (judges are only human) in the conduct of the case or in a legal determination, the case can be appealed to a higher court which will correct the error.

In all civil cases, the term "without prejudice" means that the Plaintiff may file a lawsuit based on the same cause of action a second time. Many states limit the Plaintiff to only one re-filing.

It really depends what kind of courts you are talking about and where the courts are. If the courts are federal, then a district court is a trial court and a circuit court is an appeals court, which may review a trial decision from a district court. For state courts, the difference between a district court and a circuit court will depend on what state the courts are in. Many states have courts called "district court" and "circuit court," but what kinds of cases these courts handle differs state to state.

The court is notified of a death when someone petitions to be appointed the executor or the administrator of the estate.

The Jury. Which is made of 12 people who are not related to the case. Now all of the people have to agree that the person is either guilty or innocent, or else they have to redo the case in court again.

Hope that helps:)
