What is a Lawsuit? A process through which disputes are heard and settled.   Two parties, a plaintiff and a defendant, enter into a formal contest to persuade an impartial third party to accept their version of the dispute.
Complexities in Hearing and Deciding Cases   - Each side of a story has its own individual complexities.   - A judge’s job is to make fair decisions that are accepted by both parties.
Common Laws - Common Laws were established so that citizens, as well as the courts, had a guide to follow when hearing and deciding rulings on cases.  Why do people Sue? - The most common reason people sue one another is over the repayment of a debt. - Lawsuits also occur in order to determine responsibility between two parties.
 Who is involved in Lawsuits? - Plaintiff – The individual who brings the lawsuit to court. - Defendant – The individual whom which the complaint is being made against.
Types of Lawsuits include: A. Civil Law - Lawsuits held between two parties that typically involve issues concerning contractual agreements, such as money, property rights, divorce, or slander.	 - Contractual Law – Lawsuits involving debt collection between two parties. Contractual law can also involve disputes over a service as well.   - Lawsuits Over Tort – This body of law tries to make sense of wrongdoings, which harm the interest of another.
Types of Lawsuits cont: B. Criminal Law – Lawsuits held in enforcement of the law. - These cases vary based on the law, as well as the state in which the case is in question. - Criminal Law cases must meet jurisdictional requirements. Jurisdiction is determined by: 		- The Constitution  - General statuses establishing jurisdiction for a level of 	court - Specific statuses authorizing the establishment of the 	court in question 		- Statuses creating other courts in the same country 	that may affect the jurisdiction of the court in question 		- Statuses dealing with specific subject matters

Options to Dispute Court’s Ruling: - Appeal the Outcome – After the ruling in a civil trial, both parties have the right to appeal the court’s decision.   - The appeal is usually based on an error made during the trial.  
What are your options when being sued for debt?   	- Make a list of all your debts   	- Try to settle outside of court   If you are being sued for a debt and do not show up in court, default judgment will most likely occur.    	- Default Judgment will usually go against the party being sued.
