Flow Chart Civil Case

This flowchart outlines the typical proceedings in a civil case. It shows that a complaint is filed first, followed by a summons issued to the defendant. The defendant then files an answer within 15 days. Additional pleadings like a reply may follow before issues are joined. The case then proceeds through pre-trial conferences, discovery, and potentially judgment on the pleadings or summary judgment. If issues remain unresolved, the case proceeds to a trial where evidence is presented and a final judgment is rendered, subject to potential post-trial motions and appeals.
