Overview

Millions of people each year reach the conclusion that the only way the situation in which they find themselves will be resolved- the stressful, costly, and exasperating situation-is if they go to court. Alternatively, millions of other people each year find themselves named as defendants in a lawsuit-often an unexpected situation for which they're unprepared-based on circumstances that are equally stressful, costly and exasperating. Regardless of whether you're the plaintiff or the defendant, if you find yourself settling a dispute within the confines of the civil justice system in the United States the sooner you can understand the mechanics and nuances of the system, the more likely you are to have a successful outcome.
