How do you file a motion to schedule a trial in a civil court?

I do not. But if I wanted to handle something like that on my own, the 1st thing I would do, is to call the court involved and ask them how I should proceed.\n\nOtherwise I would just call an attorney and have him/her take care of it.

Contact your local legislative representative and explain the situation to them.  Provide them with copies of all documentation and the names and telephone numbers of those with whom you have talked.  They can then advise you and maybe expedite your case.

Failure to appear in Civil court?  Or Failure to be civil in criminal court?\n\nIn civil court if you fail to appear you face getting a summary judgement against you.  Basically not showing up will allow the other party to get whatever they're seeking whether that be the amount they're suing for or a dismissal if they're the defense.\n\nIn ohio: "§ 2935.11. Failure of person summoned to appear.\n\nIf the person summoned to appear as provided in division (B) of section 2935.10 of the Revised Code fails to appear without just cause and personal service of the summons was had upon him, he may be found guilty of contempt of court, and may be fined not to exceed twenty dollars for such contempt. Upon failure to appear the court or magistrate may forthwith issue a warrant for his arrest."\n\nSee also § 2935.27. Procedure after issuance of citation; penalties for failure to appear or comply.

File what?\n\nYou can file (make a motion) for a continuance, but if the opponent objects and the court agrees, the hearing will go forward.\n\nYou indicate you have an attorney. Is there some reason he hasn't answered this question?

Once the suit is filed with the court (through a formal complaint), it is in the court system. It stays there until it is resolved, or until you withdraw it, or until the judge dismisses it.\n\nNow, at some point there will be scheduled status / case management conferences with the judge. The opposing side can also file motions against you. You can represent yourself during these actions, but the odds for a pro se ("for self") litigant are generally not good.\n\nThere are a number of non-profit legal services groups that exist to provide support for civil rights cases. If you haven't already, you might want to start researching/contacting some of these to find an attorney.

Go to the courthouse. Talk to the clerk and tell her what you want to do. They should be able to guide you through it.\n\nIf you are in CA, go to the following link and you can fill out the request form on-line. You can then just print it and take it to the court.\n\nhttp://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/forms/fillable/dv110.pdf

Details vary depending upon the type of suit, the court and the amount in controversy, but basically the steps are as follows.\n\nFirst, the Plaintiff files a Complaint. This says what the other party (the Defendant) did wrong, and what they owe the Plaintiff and why. Copies of the complaint are given to the court, and must be served on the Defendant[s].\n\nThen, the Defendant files an Answer. This rebuts the claims made by the Plaintiff, and asserts any defenses. The Defendant can also file a Counter-Complaint, which is their version of the Complaint (see above).\n\nAlternately, a Defendant may file other civil procedure motions attacking the Plaintiff's Complaint, saying it's not valid, wrong court, improperly formatted, whatever. Some civil procedure rules sometimes allow this category of filing instead of an Answer. \n\nOnce the Complaint and the Answer are filed, lots of pre-trial motions can occur, case management conferences are scheduled, preliminary hearings before the judge, etc. Discovery also happens along the way, which is where the parties get to ask each other for copies of potential evidence.\n\nDuring this intervening period, the vast majority of cases settle. Some estimates are as high as 80% to 90% of cases never actually go to trial, being resolved either in mediation or negotiated settlement, or dismissed because they are not valid for one reason or the other.\n\nFinally, at some point (if the parties have not come to a settlement) the case is schedule for trial. If you've watched any of the hundreds of movies or TV shows about trials, you get the idea. The trial is actually a very tiny fraction of the entire process, but it makes for the best on-screen drama.\n\nAt the end of the trial, a decision is handed down. Almost always, one party wins, the other party loses. \n\nThen the appeals process can start (see above, but all using different rules this time).
