What to Expect in a Civil Rights Lawsuit
Civil rights violation cases are filed and handled in federal or state
civil court. The plaintiff will file a complaint with the court an effort
to prove that the defendant is responsible for the alleged civil rights
violation and any harm caused as a result. If the case goes to trial,
the plaintiff must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant
is responsible for the alleged violation.
Typically, a complete civil case will involve the following stages:
- Beginning the case by filing the initial court papers
- Discovering facts and uncovering all information
- Reaching a resolution without going to trial via court notions
- Reaching a resolution without going to trial via settlement or alternative
dispute resolution
- Going to trial and reaching a verdict
- Collecting money after a judgment has been made
- Filing an appeal
