Anatomy of a Lawsuit

A lawsuit is commenced by the filing and service of a summons and complaint. The defendant must interpose a written answer, which may include affirmative defenses and counterclaims. Thereafter, the parties can pursue discovery and disclosure, which include the exchange of documents and pre-trial testimony through depositions. Through the course of the litigation, motions may be made for interim relief as each party deems necessary. The parties are required to periodically appear before the assigned Judge to follow the status of the lawsuit and compliance with court directives. Once pre-trial procedures are completed, the matter is certified for trial and will be tried by either a judge or a jury, depending on the election of the litigants.
