How do you file a lawsuit?In: Civil Process
[Edit categories]
|
Answer
The party involved should contact the clerk of the court where they wish to file suit. For example, most cases that are self representation are small claims issues. The forms and instructions for filing in small claims can be obtained from the clerk or office of the clerk of small claims in the appropriate jurisdiction.
Answer
The term "sue" is a very general one, so the answer is probably more complicated than you'd like. If the amount of money your suing for is relatively small (less than a few thousand dollars in most areas), than you can file a claim at a small claims court, get a court date, and have your day in court. If the amount is larger than that, you should probably consult an attorney in your area; most attorneys offer a free consulation and that is probably the best place to start.
