Events Leading To Exposure To The Courts In Weymouth, Massachusetts

Jury Duty: If you are an adult U.S. Citizen, and live in Weymouth, Massachusetts, you are probably eligible to serve on a jury, and are required to do so if you get a letter from a Weymouth 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 Weymouth, 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. Even if your case never goes to trial (which it probably won't, statistically), you will probably become extremely familiar with Weymouth, Massachusetts's courts.

Being Sued: If you face the unenviable prospect of getting sued in Weymouth, Massachusetts, you'll be spending a good deal of time dealing with the courts. You will have to file an answer to the complaint, discovery requests, motions, and many other documents with the court. Most of these will occur whether or not the case even goes to trial.

Divorce: Most divorces in Weymouth, Massachusetts are relatively quick, and don't require a lot of involvement from the courts. Some, however, can get contentious, and the local court system may be required to resolve disputes between the parties.
