About

We are creating this blog – “On The Civil Side” – in direct response to the popularity of The Criminal Law Blog, administered by our colleague Jeff Welty. Our contributors believe civil cases can be just as interesting and exciting as criminal proceedings and we are going to use this forum to prove it. We will write about issues of interest to court personnel and lawyers working in a variety of civil court proceedings, including general civil district and superior court, domestic relations matters, juvenile cases, small claims court, and hearings before clerks. We hope readers will contribute to the discussion by using the comment feature or by emailing the author directly.

There are three ways to follow this blog. First, you can regularly check this site. You can expect two posts a week—one on Wednesday and one on Friday. Second, you can use an RSS feed, which automatically sends new posts to an RSS reader. Third, you can subscribe by email, which will result in new posts magically arriving in your inbox.

We look forward to sharing our thoughts, hearing yours, and revealing the intrigue that lies on the civil side.
