Events Leading To Exposure To The Courts In Mentor, Ohio

Jury Duty: If you're a citizen of the United States, and live in Mentor, you've probably already dealt with the court system of Mentor, Ohio 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: When you sue a person or company in a Mentor, Ohio 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 quite familiar with Mentor, Ohio's courts.

Being Sued: If you, unfortunately, are getting sued in a Mentor, Ohio court, it's almost certain that you'll be spending a lot of time dealing with the local court system. You have to file some type of response (typically an answer or motion to dismiss) to the lawsuit, and there will be many procedural issues that might result in disputes that the court has to resolve. All of this happens in most lawsuits, even if they don't go to trial.

Divorce: If you are getting divorce, and there are disputes over child custody or property, you will have to go to a court in Mentor, Ohio to resolve these disputes.
