IF YOU ARE THE PLAINTIFF
Present your facts in a straightforward manner. Tell the truth;
remember you will be under oath. Explain to the Judge why you
believe the defendant owes you money, or has failed to live up to his
commitments. Have your witnesses present to give their testimony
and bring all your exhibits to Court. The Judge may question you
and your witnesses to obtain the information needed to arrive at a
fair decision. Answer all questions directly and honestly. When you
have concluded your case, the Judge will hear the defendant's side.
You will have the opportunity to present additional or "rebuttal"
evidence at the close of the defendant's case since you, as plantiff,
have the ultimate burden of persuasion to convince the Court in
order to obtain a judgment in your favor.
