It's extremely likely that you will have to deal with the court system in Parma, Ohio, in one way or another, at some point.

The local court system of Parma, Ohio can handle essentially every legal dispute, civil or criminal, that comes through its doors.

Events Leading To Exposure To The Courts In Parma, Ohio

Jury Duty: All adult U.S. citizens who live in Parma are eligible to be called for jury duty in Parma, Ohio. This is the only way that many people deal with the court system. If you are called to serve in jury duty (normally, every person is eligible to be called for jury duty once per year), when you get the letter from the court telling you to show up for jury duty (normally a few weeks after the letter arrives), you are legally required to do so on the appointed date. You are then placed in a large "juror pool," and called into a courtroom that has an upcoming trial. The lawyers for each side of the case will then ask each juror some questions to determine if they are biased. If the lawyer doesn't want a juror serving on the jury, they can dismiss the juror (they only have a limited number of dismissals, however). If you are dismissed, you're done. If you end up on the jury, you are now serving a very important role in the justice system, and it's important that you follow all of the judge's instructions.

Filing a Lawsuit: if you sue someone in Parma, Ohio, you will most definitely deal with the local court system - a lot. Even if the case never goes to trial, you will have to deal with pre-trial motions, discovery requests, and case management conferences. You will definitely become more knowledgeable about the Parma, Ohio court system than you ever wanted to be.

Being Sued: If you face the unenviable prospect of getting sued in Parma, Ohio, 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.

Parma is located southwest of Cleveland, and directly borders the city. Parma, Ohio was founded in 1826, by settlers from New York.

Modernly, Parma maintains its suburban character, and is largely a bedroom community for Cleveland.
