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 Oregon, court procedures for civil litigation are governed by the Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure (ORCP), statutes, and case law. These rules outline the processes for pretrial, trial, and posttrial phases, including the filing of complaints, service of process, discovery, motions, and trial conduct. Additionally, each court may have its own local rules that complement the ORCP, addressing specific procedural requirements for that jurisdiction. Parties involved in civil litigation must adhere to these rules to ensure their case is heard and to avoid potential dismissals or sanctions for non-compliance. It is important for parties to be familiar with these rules or to consult with an attorney to navigate the complexities of civil litigation effectively.
