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 New Hampshire, court procedures for civil litigation are primarily governed by the New Hampshire Rules of Civil Procedure. These rules outline the processes that parties must follow from the initiation of a lawsuit through its resolution, whether by trial or settlement. The pretrial phase includes the filing of complaints and answers, discovery, and pretrial motions. During the trial phase, the rules govern the presentation of evidence and testimony. Posttrial procedures may involve motions for a new trial or appeals. Additionally, the New Hampshire Superior Court and the Circuit Court have their own set of rules that may apply, including local rules that address specific practices within individual jurisdictions. It is important for parties to adhere to these procedures to ensure the smooth progression of their case through the court system. An attorney can provide guidance on navigating these rules and representing a party's interests effectively in court.
