A class action lawsuit lets one or more people sue on behalf of a larger group harmed the same way. Here’s how certification, opting out, and settlement payouts actually work.

A civil lawsuit is a legal dispute between private parties seeking compensation or a court order, covering everything from filing costs and deadlines to discovery, settlement, and what happens if you win or lose.

A countersuit, formally called a counterclaim, is a legal claim a defendant brings against the plaintiff within the same lawsuit rather than filing a separate case.

A subpoena is a court order compelling testimony, documents, or both, and ignoring one can lead to contempt of court, fines, or a bench warrant.

A case going to trial means settlement and pre-trial motions failed, leaving a judge or jury to decide directly. Learn the stages of a trial, from jury selection to verdict and judgment.
