Know What to Expect When It Comes to Going to Trial

Are you prepared to go to court?

Do you know what to expect?

Did you file all the necessary paperwork?

Know the expectations of court, particularly if you’re in a regular trial court. A regular trial court may expect you to file a lot of documents:

• You’ll likely have to file witness and exhibit lists and other documents well before trial.
• The court may request a trial brief – a summary of the facts of your case and the law you intend to rely on in court.
• After a bench trial, the court may ask you to submit findings of facts and conclusions of law, describing that conclusions you want the court to reach regarding what happened and why your side should win under the law.

Bench Trial v. Jury Trial

Having trouble settling a case?

Is your case going to trial?

If your case doesn’t settle, the judge sets it for trial. Your trial can take one of two forms:

Bench trial: You try the case before a judge alone. All arguments are addressed to the judge, who makes all decisions, both of law and fact. At the conclusion of the case, the judge makes a decision, often supported by a document formally reciting their findings of fact and conclusions of law. A bench trial is also called a non-jury trial.

Jury trial: In a jury trial, the judge decides questions of law, such as deciding the parties’ motions and resolving objections to questions or evidence, and instructs the jury about what the law means. The jury decides the facts and, at the end of the trial, renders a decision.
