Events Leading To Exposure To The Courts In Fitchburg, Massachusetts

Jury Duty: If you're a citizen of the United States, and live in Fitchburg, you've probably already dealt with the court system of Fitchburg, Massachusetts by being called to jury duty. The law requires you to show up for jury duty if you are called to do so. This involves receiving a letter informing you that you have jury duty, and telling you when and where you need to show up. On the appointed day, you will be placed in a "juror pool," where you will wait to be called into court for an upcoming trial. The lawyers for both sides of the case will then engage in jury selection. If you are eliminated from the juror pool, your service is complete. If you are selected to serve on a jury, you will have to show up for the entire trial, or you might face criminal charges.

Filing a Lawsuit: Hopefully, you'll never have to file a lawsuit in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, or anywhere else. However, if you do, chances are good that it won't go to trial (and count your blessings if that's the case). Still, no matter what happens, dealing with the local court system after you've filed suit is inevitable. Whether there's a discovery conflict, or you need to go before a judge to approve a settlement agreement, you're going to become intimately acquainted with the courts in Fitchburg, Massachusetts

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 Fitchburg, Massachusetts, like it or not. Usually, 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: While not all divorces in Fitchburg, Massachusetts require the partners to spend a significant period of time in court, some of them do, particularly when disagreements arise that the spouses can't settle amongst themselves.
