What can be done after declaring a mistrial?
104786
It depends.  A mistrial basically returns the parties to the position of not having had a trial in the first place.  So to the extent that they are not confined by expense and time, the plaintiffs (or prosecutors) could institute another action on the same grounds, try to force the defendants to settle (or plea bargain), or completely allow the matter to drop.  The key point here is that in the case of a mistrial, plaintiff is not precluded from bringing an identical action on the same transaction or occurrence.

Consult the clerk of the court where the violation occured. You may have to pay a fee for the info.

Well, the first step is to identify where it happened. Was it a state case or federal? What state / district? Was it appealed? Do you have a formal citation for the case? Or even a year?\n\nThere are many legal database out there (findlaw.com being one of the more useful). But if you don't know what jurisdiction the case was, it's going to be impossible to find.

Best thing to do is just dress nice (business casual), go to court by yourself, hold your hands in your lap and apologize for your mistake.  Ask the DA if there is anything you can do to fix the situation.  Usually they'll work with you, as long as you be sure to say "Yes, Sir/Ma'am" and "thank you".  Be polite and businesslike, and they usually either let it go or just charge you a small fine (and if you show up, the often make sure it doesn't even go on your license)\n\nGood luck!

Speak with a lawyer in your area who handles legal malpractice claims.  Legal mal is a special area of the law.  Check www.martindale.com for a listing of lawyers in your area.  If your lawyer blew the statute of limitations, you may have a civil claim against him/her for damages.  Speaking with a qualified legal mal attorney is the only real way to know what your remedies are.\n\nIf all you want is to get your former lawyer disciplined, then you should contact both the State and County bar associations in your area and request that they initiate disciplinary proceedings.

Yes, you can recourse to a superior court. Ask for legal advise, recoursing is not cheap.

I would send a letter to the court and motion the court to dismiss with prejudice the charges for a lack of timely filing.  The prosecutor has time to file these charges.  I hope that you won't get yourself into this jam again.

Find proof and contact the county attorney with your proof.  It will be up to them to prosecute depending on how much evidence you have.  If your evidence is insufficient, they will not prosecute.

Go back to Court immediately and file papers (if you don't have an attorney, either call Legal Aid or ask the Clerk of the Court -who cannot give you legal advice, but CAN guide you to the correct forms to file) to bring the violation(s) of the Court Order to the attention of the judge for a ruling. Violations of a Court Order are Contempt of Court, and I have yet to meet a judge who takes these lightly (and I have met a couple, through similar situations caused by my ex). The Court does not feel warm & fuzzy about individuals who thumb their nose at the Court's authority. Until you take steps to get these matters brought back before a judge, your ex will continue to act without impunity. In the meantime, while you are waiting for a court date, take steps to protect your share of the community property, by making everyone (like banks, credit agencies, mortgage companies, etc.) aware of the Court's original ruling, in an effort to reduce your ex's chances of disposing of the property without your knowledge or permission. Good luck with this. Vindictive and unethical ex's can be very creative and resourceful. My ex even disposed of NON community property, when he got a hold of our daughter's house key, let himself in while I was out of town, stole my grandmother's hope chest and the hand-made quilts she had made which were in it, and sold them to a no-questions-asked dealer. I was unable to prove anything (it was all supposition and circumstantial, without witnesses) - and lost everything. DO NOT remain passive about this. You must act to protect your interests NOW.\n\nIf the vehicle is long-gone, the Court will likely not only find your ex to be in Contempt (and subject to fines and/or jail time), but will likely also order your ex to pay you at least half of what he sold it for - which he must prove. You should try and track down the paperwork pertaining to the sale, as best you can, to bring with you into Court. You should also consider getting a subpeona served on the person he sold the vehicle to, to force them to come into Court and testify as to the circumstances surrounding the sale. This person will likely be viewed as a hostile witness, but they WILL have to testify - unless THEY also want to face contempt charges. \n\nTaking these actions will send a clear message to your ex that he has rattled the wrong cage. Be diligent and persistent. You are not doing these things to "get back at" your ex. You are doing thse things to protect your interests.

Call the court clerk. This is likely something that can be taken care of with money through the mail. I know it's embarrassing to call, but don't worry -- for the person on the other end of the call, you will be one of the most responsible people they talk to all day long.

Depends on the jurisdiction, but you can be arrested and cited for contempt in most cases.  I'd suggest you contact the court clerk as soon as possible and rectify the situation.  Don't let this turn into something major.  Take responsibility and fix it.

Go to the Clerk of Courts and file an appeal.  I'm assuming it's a civil matter.  You can't revoke the decision however you can appeal it.

Hopefully this reply does not reach you too late.\n\nYou should go to the Clerk of the Court for the county in which the action was filed.\n\nOne generally responds to an answer by either Affirming, Denying, or Stating one is Without Knowledge of each allegation set forth in the complaint. You would also raise any affirmative defenses at this point. If you are in Florida, for example, see the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure for more detail on this matter (the link is below), or see the corresponding Rules of Civil Procedure for whatever court and jurisdiction the action was filed in. \n\nDo not construe this as legal advice & don't rely upon it. You need to seek the counsel of a lawyer to get legal advice. This is just a general pointing you in a possible direction.\n\nYou can email me at theinkgroup912@yahoo.com if you'd like

You will need a good lawyer, whether you are innocent or guilty.\n\nI would suggest a sincere letter of apology regardless.\n\nMean people suck!

Even in jury trials, the judge (i think) is able to declare a mistrial if s/he thinks the jury's decision is completely off base.  Having one judge to make the final decision is simply a bad idea, what if he is biased for some reason?  Judges are human and do have biases even if they aren't suppose to.  If any changes are made, it should be towards creating a career of being jury members (professionally trained jurors instead of laypeople).  But, professionalizing juries would lead to increase court fees and probably isn't very practical.

You must go to court. You will receive a summons from the proper authority when all the paperwork has been duly filed. Hire an attorney, you WILL need one.

Go to the Court where the case was heard ask to see the County Clerk To The Judge Assigned and request treble (triple) damages as a penalty.  Do it immediately as you have the right to your money and the court is bound to uphold ALL COURT Proceedings.  You do not need your lawyer to do this.
