Events Leading To Exposure To The Courts In Old Bridge, New Jersey

Jury Duty: All adult U.S. citizens who live in Old Bridge are eligible to be called for jury duty in Old Bridge, New Jersey. This is the only way that many people deal with the court system. If you are called to serve in jury duty (typically, every person is eligible to be called for jury duty once per year), when you get the letter from the court telling you to show up for jury duty (typically a few weeks after the letter arrives), you are legally required to do so on the appointed date. You are then placed in a large "juror pool," and called into a courtroom that has an upcoming trial. The lawyers for each side of the case will then ask each juror some questions to determine if they are biased. If the lawyer doesn't want a juror serving on the jury, they can dismiss the juror (they only have a limited number of dismissals, however). If you are dismissed, you're done. If you end up on the jury, you are now serving a very important role in the justice system, and it's important that you follow all of the judge's instructions.

Filing a Lawsuit: Hopefully, you'll never have to file a lawsuit in Old Bridge, New Jersey, or anywhere else. However, if you do, chances are good that it won't go to trial (and count your blessings if that's the case). Still, no matter what happens, dealing with the local court system after you've filed suit is inevitable. Whether there's a discovery conflict, or you need to go before a judge to approve a settlement agreement, you're going to become intimately acquainted with the courts in Old Bridge, New Jersey
