Litigation covers the process of bringing and pursuing a lawsuit. A lawsuit is a case or controversy authorized by law, to be decided in a court of justice,
The people invloved in these proceedings are known as litigants while the trial or case is ongoing.
Attorneys who represent the litigants in court are referred to as litigators.
In most matters, parties are allowed to represent themselves should they chose to do so. However, litigation involves many complex legal issues which require expertise and knowledge of the law that governs the dispute, as well as the laws governing the procedures to be followed while litigating a case.
Litigation is one way that people and corporate entities resolve disputes. The parties rely on a judge or jury to determine a legal question or matter.
