Events Leading To Exposure To The Courts In West Covina, California

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

Filing a lawsuit: When you sue a person or company in a West Covina, California court, it's a given that you will have to interact with the courts, to one degree or another. At the very least, you'll probably have to attend some hearings, deal with discovery disagreements, 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 West Covina, California's courts.

Being Sued: Likewise, if you're the defendant in a lawsuit, you're going to have a lot of work to do in West Covina, California's courts. You and your attorney will have to draft and file an answer to the lawsuit, and plenty of other documents, as well. Additionally, there are many hearings that normally occur before a trial, to resolve procedural and evidentiary issues.

Divorce: Most divorces in West Covina, California 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.
