by Jeff Stein Wartburg College, Waverly Iowa All Rights Reserved. CHAPTER 3: Civil Cases Those cases that are not criminal prosecutions fall under the general heading of civil cases. There are five types of non-criminal cases most commonly seen in Iowa: n civil lawsuits for money damages n dissolution of marriage (divorce) n probate, including guardianships and conservatorships, and estates following death n involuntary commitment proceedings, both for mental impairment and substance abuse n adoptions Dissolution of marriage proceedings are discussed in detail in a separate chapter of this guide (Chapter 6) because they are so different from other civil cases and have direct bearing on so many people's lives. The other areas of non-criminal law are discussed in turn in this chapter. Civil Lawsuits for Money Damages As discussed in Chapter 1 of this guide, the court in which a civil lawsuit for money damages will be tried depends on the dollar value of the damages sought. If the claim is clearly computable with a value of less than $4,000.00, it is filed in small claims court. Small claims courts were originally designed to allow persons to seek monetary recovery without the need to hire a lawyer. The pleading forms, available at each county clerk's office, are basic and easy to understand. While lawyers may represent parties in small claims actions, it is common for individuals to appear

General Example of a State's "Lemon Law" Information The following is intended to give you a general example of a State "Lemon Law." It is Section 1793.22 of California's Civil Code that makes up California's Lemon Law. REMEMBER, Lemon Laws and their application vary from state to state. California's Lemon Law - California Civil Code Section 1793.22 California's consumer warranty law requires the manufacturer of a new motor vehicle leased or sold with a manufacturer's written warranty to repair the vehicle during the warranty period so that it conforms to the warranty within the first 18 months of purchase or 18,000 miles, whichever occurs first. The vehicle may be a new car, van, truck or the chassis portion of a motorhome, but it must have been purchased or leased for nonbusiness use. If the manufacturer or dealer cannot fix the vehicle to conform to the warranty within a "reasonable" number of repair attempts, then the manufacturer must replace the vehicle or reimburse the buyer or lessee for its purchase price, whichever the consumer prefers (less a mileage offset for the consumer's use of the vehicle prior to the first repair attempt), subject in certain cases to arbitration that the consumer may or may not accept. The Lemon Law uses a presumption as a guideline for determining whether a "reasonable" number of repair attempts have been made on a new vehicle. In order for the buyer or lessee to use the Lemon Law presumption, all of the following must be true:
