Trial
If the parties are unable to reach an agreement through stipulation or mediation, they must appear for trial on the date and at the time scheduled by the clerk during the pretrial conference. When the defendant fails to respond or show up to defend against the statement of claim, the clerk or the judge may enter a default judgment. All parties are bound by the applicable law and the court cannot help you to present your case. The parties must make certain to bring all evidence and witnesses to the trial but keep in mind that letters, affidavits, and estimates may not be accepted as evidence.
