Events Leading To Exposure To The Courts In Oshkosh, Wisconsin

Jury Duty: If you are an adult U.S. Citizen, and live in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, you are probably eligible to serve on a jury, and are required to do so if you get a letter from an Oshkosh court telling you that you have been selected for jury duty. The selection process is random, and is usually 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 certain number of jurors, for any reason they want. If you are dismissed in this manner, your service is complete, and you can go home, usually after signing a few documents.

Even if the case never goes to trial, you will have to deal with pre-trial motions, discovery requests, and case management conferences.

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 Oshkosh, Wisconsin, like it or not. Generally, 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 Oshkosh, Wisconsin 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.
