Extractions: When a criminal defendant has been convicted of a criminal offense in Arkansas, he or she may, within thirty days, file an appeal in the Arkansas Supreme Court or the Arkansas Court of Appeals. The rules of the Supreme Court contain guidelines for determining in which court a particular appeal must be filed. The Criminal Justice Department of the Attorney Generals Office represents the State in the two appellate courts. The record of the trial, including all of the papers filed in the trial court, the exhibits presented at trial, and the written transcript of all trial testimony, is compiled and filed in the appropriate appellate court. The defendant, now referred to as the "appellant," then files a "brief," in which he or she argues that errors occurred during the trial and that his or her conviction and/or sentence should be reversed. The Attorney Generals Office then files the States ("appellees") brief responding to the claims (or grounds of error) made in the appellants brief. In due time, the case will be "submitted" to the appellate court for consideration and a decision. In some cases, the appellate court will hear oral arguments from the attorneys who prepared the briefs. After considering the case, the Court will announce its decision in a written opinion. The Court may "affirm," or uphold, the conviction and sentence; "reverse," or overturn, the conviction and/or sentence; or, in some instances, affirm some part of a conviction or sentence and reverse other parts of it.

Contacts This paper describes a pilot project promoted by the Jersey Legal Information Board (JLIB) for the establishment of a special small claims procedure intended to provide for an accelerated process by which small claims would be resolved in a simple, inexpensive and speedy manner.  It is intended that a pilot small claims procedure will be established in early 2002 under the existing Petty Debts Court legislation. It is anticipated that the pilot scheme will run throughout 2002, its success and effectiveness being monitored during and evaluated at the end of that period.  For some years there have been calls in Jersey for the introduction of a simplified procedure for the handling of small claims; in 1993 the Trading Standards Office put together detailed proposals for a specialist small claims tribunal to deal with commercial disputes; in 1998 the Jersey Consumer Council recommended the setting up of a small claims court to deal with disputes up to a value of £2,500; the Attorney General commissioned some research into the issues in 1999 and the Magistrate himself considered the issues further in a draft paper submitted to the Attorney General in November 1999 and a renewed paper submitted to the Bailiff in July 2001.Â

Small Claims Court Procedures Small Claims court Procedures. In the small claims division of the generaldistrict court, the plaintiff will be requested to fill out a civil warrant http://www.courts.state.va.us/pamphlets/small_claims.html
Extractions: Virginia's Judicial System Home Publications About Courts Help with Searching Topics on this Page Related links Site Navigation People Small Claims Divisions became mandatory on July 1, 1999. The "jurisdiction" of a court is the power of that court to hear and decide a particular type of case. The small claims court has jurisdiction over civil cases in which the plaintiff is seeking a money judgment up to $2,000 or recovery of personal property valued up to $2,000. In trials before the small claims court, witnesses shall be sworn. The judge shall conduct the trial in an informal manner so as to do substantial justice between the parties. The judges shall have the discretion to admit all evidence which may be of probative value although not in accordance with formal rules of practice, procedure, pleading or evidence, except that privileged communications shall not be admissible. The object of such trials shall be to determine the rights of the litigants on the merits and to dispense expeditious justice between the parties. The successful plaintiff in a civil case will in most cases be awarded a money judgment as compensation for the defendant's wrongful act. The judgment is judicial recognition that the defendant is indebted to the plaintiff for a particular sum of money. The plaintiff is never assured of actually receiving the money, however, since the judgment can only be enforced out of property belonging to the defendant. Remedies to enforce judgments are available, but a defendant in a civil case is not subject to criminal sanctions for failing to pay a money judgment.
Extractions: What is Small Claims Court? Small claims court is a court of law, but it's not designed for lawyers. It's meant to be a "do-it-yourself" kind of court, where ordinary people can handle their own cases, whichever side they're on. Small claims court is a place where people can go to settle their differences in cases worth anywhere up to $25,000. It has less formal and less complicated rules and procedures than Supreme Court. For example, the forms you use in small claims court are the "fill-in-the-blank" type. If you're thinking of making a claim in small claims court, or if you're already involved in a case, this booklet is for you. It answers questions about the court, and it describes what happens in an ordinary small claims court case. Even if you do hire a lawyer to represent you, it is helpful to know what to expect.
