How Does Civil Litigation Work in Virginia?
If you’re preparing for a civil lawsuit, it can be helpful to know what you’re getting into. Generally speaking, there are three legal phases that you should be aware of: pre-trial, trial, and post-trial phases. During the pre-trial phase, both parties will gather evidence. This sometimes requires parties to request material from one another and share evidence.
Many cases are resolved at this stage. The trial phase, if necessary, is when the case is litigated in a courtroom. In the post-trial phase, both sides work with the court to resolve any remaining issues, file paperwork, and carry out their court-ordered obligations.
