Civil litigation

court procedures

Court procedures generally refers to the strict processes and procedures the parties to a civil lawsuit must follow during the pretrial, trial, and posttrial phases of civil litigation. These procedures are usually defined and set forth in detail in the applicable rules of civil procedure, rules of court, and local rules.

In Connecticut, court procedures for civil litigation are governed by the Connecticut Practice Book, which outlines the rules and procedures that must be followed during the pretrial, trial, and posttrial phases. These rules cover a wide range of topics, including how to file a lawsuit, service of process, discovery, motions, hearings, and trials. The Practice Book is designed to ensure fairness and efficiency in the legal process and is regularly updated to reflect changes in the law or judicial interpretations. Additionally, local rules may apply in specific judicial districts, which can supplement the statewide rules with additional requirements or procedures specific to that district. Parties involved in civil litigation in Connecticut must adhere to these procedures to avoid delays, sanctions, or other legal issues that may arise from non-compliance.
