Events Leading To Exposure To The Courts In Fort Wayne, Indiana

Jury Duty: If you are an adult U.S. Citizen, and live in Fort Wayne, Indiana, you are probably eligible to serve on a jury, and are required to do so if you get a letter from a Fort Wayne 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 potential 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 Fort Wayne, Indiana court, it's a given that you will have to deal with the courts, to one degree or another. At the very least, you'll probably have to attend some hearings, deal with discovery disputes, and attend case management meetings.

Being Sued: Similarly, if you are sued, you will have your work cut out for you in the courts of Fort Wayne, Indiana. You, or your attorney, will have to file an answer to the complaint, and many other documents. You might also have to attend discovery hearings, or case management conferences.
