Frequently Asked Questions
Civil litigation is a term that applies to any legal dispute where two or more parties are seeking monetary damages or a specific performance and does not include criminal accusations. Some cases go to trial in which a judge will determine the outcome, but not all will.
The most common kinds of civil litigation involve contract disputes (ie alimony, injury, debt), class action lawsuits (ie discrimination), property disputes and complaints filed against a government body.
How Long Do I Have to File My Lawsuit? No one-size-fits-all answer exists. Every state has time limits, called statutes of limitations, for filing lawsuits.
About 80 percent of cases filed in superior courts are resolved before they get to a trial. In civil cases, both sides of a case often agree to settle their disagreement and reach a compromise to avoid the expense of a trial or the risk of losing at a trial.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”) refers to any means of settling disputes outside of the courtroom. ADR typically includes early neutral evaluation.
Arbitration is a procedure in which a dispute is submitted, by agreement of the parties, to one or more arbitrators who make a binding decision on the dispute. In choosing arbitration, the parties opt for a private dispute resolution procedure instead of going to court.
