Events Leading To Exposure To The Courts In Boulder City, Nevada

Jury Duty: All adult U.S. citizens who live in Boulder City are eligible to be called for jury duty in Boulder City, Nevada. This is the only way that many people deal with the court system. If you are called to serve in jury duty (usually, 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 (usually 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: When you decide that you need to sue someone in Boulder City, Nevada civil court, it goes without saying that you're going to spend a lot of time dealing with the judicial system. Even if your case doesn't go to trial (and, statistically, it probably won't), the proceedings can drag on for months. Settlement conferences, disagreements over discovery, and many other issues not directly related to the merits of your lawsuit are going to be overseen by the Boulder City, Nevada court.

Being Sued: Likewise, if you're the defendant in a lawsuit, you're going to have a lot of work to do in Boulder City, Nevada's courts.
