Civil Litigation

24 articles (page 2 of 2) from Simon Law Group

Civil litigation in New Jersey is how private disputes over contracts, property, business dealings, and other non-criminal claims are resolved in the Superior Court's Law and Chancery Divisions. These articles explain the path of a lawsuit -- pleadings, discovery, motions, and trial or settlement -- and concepts such as the statute of limitations and burden of proof. They are general information about the litigation process, not advice for a specific dispute.
