Events Leading To Exposure To The Courts In Columbus, Indiana

Jury Duty: If you are an adult U.S. Citizen, and live in Columbus, Indiana, you are probably eligible to serve on a jury, and are required to do so if you get a letter from a Columbus court telling you that you have been selected for jury duty. The selection process is random, and is normally drawn from a list of names on voter registration rolls, or a list of drivers licenses. When you show up, you, and many other possible jurors, will be directed to a courtroom in which there is an upcoming trial. You will then go through the jury selection process, where the lawyers for each side are allowed to summarily dismiss a specific number of jurors, for any reason they want. If you are dismissed in this manner, your service is complete, and you can go home, normally after signing a few documents.

Filing a Lawsuit: If you file a lawsuit in Columbus, Indiana, you will have to interact with the court system quite a bit, even if your matter never goes to trial. You, or your lawyer, will have to show up in court to file the required paperwork, attend preliminary hearings, case management conferences, and resolve discovery disputes. Even if no trial occurs, you will become intimately acquainted with the courts in Columbus, Indiana.

Being Sued: If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of being on the receiving end of a lawsuit, you're going to spend a lot of time dealing with the courts in Columbus, Indiana, like it or not. Typically, whenever a motion is filed, the court will hold a short hearing to hear arguments, and rule on it. Dozens of motions might be filed before the case is anywhere near trial. So, you or your attorney are going to be spending plenty of time in court.

Divorce: Most divorces in Columbus, Indiana are fairly quick, and don't require a lot of involvement from the courts. Some, however, can get combative, and the local court system may be obligated to resolve disputes between the parties.
