Events Leading To Exposure To The Courts In Visalia, California

Jury Duty: If you are an adult U.S. Citizen, and live in Visalia, California, you are probably eligible to serve on a jury, and are required to do so if you get a letter from a Visalia 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.

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