Trial

The Judge will conduct a trial of the case on the scheduled date.  First the Plaintiff and then the Defendant will be allowed to present their side of the case.  After all facts have been presented, the Judge will prepare and sign a judgment for the party that won .  If the Defendant, after receiving proper notice of the trial, does not appear in court at the appointed time, the Judge will grant a Default Judgment providing the Plaintiff appears and proves the amount of money due to him.  A default notice will then be mailed to the Defendant. 
NOTE:  Persons desiring a copy of their judgment should notify the bailiff before leaving court.
