Legal Notices. They’re Not Sexy, But They Help Move Your Case Along

Legal notices for your case

Legal notices aren’t simply appendages tagged on to a case just to annoy you. They may not be sexy, but they play a critical role in the smooth management of the litigation process. Sometimes there’s even a statutory requirement that a notice be filed before certain claims or defenses are asserted. In truth, if you ignore some notices, you could end up losing your whole case.

Scheduling A Hearing On Your Motion

scheduling a hearing pro se

You’ve struggled with proper wording and formatting of your motion, and you think you’ve done well. You go to the courthouse or online and file your motion. Unaware that there’s more to do, you simply stop there. You wait for an answer from your opponent or for the court to schedule a hearing. That’s not how things work in litigation. If your case is to move in the direction you desire, you must move it. That necessarily involves scheduling hearings on your motions.

Understanding Motions, Pleadings And Other Litigation Documents

understanding motions

Litigation documents are not the first thing the average person thinks about when they hear the term “legal documents”. Wills, deeds, powers of attorney, tax forms, come to mind first. These are legal documents, but they’re not for the purposes of litigation.
Litigation documents are less formulaic and more intimidating than these. Their purpose is to move a lawsuit along. In that sense, they’re more powerful than documents written on pre-printed forms.
