WHAT IS LITIGATION? A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE
Litigation is the legal process of resolving disputes through the court system. Whether involving individuals, businesses, or government entities, litigation ensures a structured, lawful resolution to conflicts. Governed by frameworks like the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Michigan Court Rules, litigation encompasses every phase from the filing of a complaint to trial, judgment, and potential appeal.
