Jurisdictionary - Basic Flowchart

This document is a basic flowchart and description of the typical process for a lawsuit in the United States. It shows that a complaint is filed first, stating the rights to sue and facts of the case. This is followed by a flurry of potential defense motions to dismiss or require more information. The defendant then files an answer. After that comes the discovery phase where information is exchanged through requests, depositions, and court orders. Finally, the facts and law are presented at trial for a determination of a winner according to the rules of evidence.
