Events Leading To Exposure To The Courts In Cherry Hill, New Jersey

Jury Duty: Under the law of Cherry Hill, New Jersey, all adult citizens of the United States who live in Cherry Hill are required to make themselves available for jury duty, if they are needed. When you are called upon to serve on a jury, you are required to show up, or else you might face criminal charges leading to hefty fines, in possible imprisonment. When you are called for jury duty, there's a good chance that you won't actually have to serve on a jury, either because there are already more people in the jury pool than are needed, or one of the lawyers involved in the case decides to excuse you. If you are selected to serve, on the other hand, you should follow the instructions of the judge to the letter. In particular, you need to show up to the courthouse every day of the trial, and on time, or risk being held in contempt of court.

Filing a lawsuit: When you sue a person or company in a Cherry Hill, New Jersey court, it's a given that you will have to deal with the courts, to one degree or another. At the very least, you'll probably have to attend some hearings, deal with discovery disputes, and attend case management meetings. Even if your case never goes to trial (which it probably won't, statistically), you will probably become extremely familiar with Cherry Hill, New Jersey's courts.

Being Sued: If you, unfortunately, are getting sued in a Cherry Hill, New Jersey court, it's almost certain that you'll be spending a lot of time dealing with the local court system. You have to file some type of response (normally an answer or motion to dismiss) to the lawsuit, and there will be many procedural issues that might result in disputes that the court has to resolve. All of this happens in most lawsuits, even if they don't go to trial.

Divorce: While not all divorces in Cherry Hill, New Jersey require the partners to spend a significant period of time in court, some of them do, particularly when disagreements arise that the spouses can't settle amongst themselves.
