Events Leading To Exposure To The Courts In Waltham, Massachusetts

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

Filing a lawsuit: When you sue a person or company in a Waltham, Massachusetts 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: Likewise, if you're the defendant in a lawsuit, you're going to have a lot of work to do in Waltham, Massachusetts's courts. You and your attorney will have to draft and file an answer to the lawsuit, and plenty of other documents, as well.
