Ukwazisa

Ukunyanzelwa kwenkqubo yomthetho kungaziva usoyikeka, kwanakwabo baye bafunda umthetho. Enoba ungumfundi, umfundisi- ntsapho, okanye umntu osenokuzibona sele ekwinkundla ngokungalindelekanga, ukuqonda isiseko seenkqubo zomthetho kubalulekile. Le nkokeli inikela ushwankathelo olucacileyo ngoko kwenzekayo enkundleni, ukusuka ekufakeni ityala kwizenzo zasemva kovavanyo. Ngokukwazi oko unokukulindela, ungasondela kwinkundla ngentembelo, unciphise inkxalabo, uze wenze izigqibo ezithe gca.

Iinkqubo zomthetho ziyahluka ngokwemithetho, kodwa imigaqo emininzi iyaguquguquka kwiinkqubo ezinqamlezayo. Eli nqaku ligxininisa kumanyathelo aqhelekileyo kwiimeko zabemi nakwabanye oolwaphulo-mthetho, iindima zabathathi-nxaxheba abaphambili, kunye necebiso elisebenzayo kuye nabani na ongena enkundleni. Ukuqhubeka kufundwa, U.S. inxuwa elisemthethweni lenkundla [ linikela iinkcukacha ezineenkcukacha zokwakhiwa kwenkundla.

Inkqubo yeNkundla

Inkqubo yenkundla kumazwe amaninzi icwangciswe yaba yithala kunye namaqela akhethekileyo ukusingatha iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zemicimbi yomthetho. Ukuqonda le migangatho yeqela leqela lenqanawa linyathelo lokuqala ekuqhubeni nayiphi na inkqubo esemthethweni.

Inkonzo kunye neVenue

Iinkundla zinegunya kwimimandla ethile yelizwe nakwiintlobo zamatyala. IJuristion ibhekisela kugunya lenkundla lokuphulaphula ityala, ngoxa indawo ebekwa kuyo imisela indawo elifanele lichotshelwe kuyo. Ngokomzekelo, ukuchaswa kwemoto kuthethwa kwinkundla kamasipala yasekuhlaleni, ngoxa ulwaphulo-mthetho lukarhulumente luqulunqwa kwinkundla yesithili.

Iintlobo zeenkundla

Iinkundla ngokuqhelekileyo zikwiindidi ezintathu eziphambili, nangona amanye amagunya enamatyala awongezelelekileyo (umz., ukuwa, ukusetyenziswa kwemali).

  • Ityala lolwaphulo-mthetho:[ La matyala apho abantu batyholwa ngokwaphula imithetho yolwaphulo-mthetho. Ityala lisuka kwimiba ephosakeleyo (umz., ubusela obuncinane) ukuya kwiifeloni (umz., ukubulala). Ityala limela urhulumente, kwaye ummangalelwa unelungelo kwigqwetha.
  • IiNkundla zaMatyala zaBantwana: zicombulula iimbambano phakathi kwamaqela azimeleyo — abantu ngabanye, amashishini, okanye imibutho. Iimeko eziqhelekileyo ziquka ukuqhawulwa kwesivumelwano, ukumangalelwa ngokwezobunyani, kunye nengxwabangxwaba yempahla. Ummangalelwa ufuna imbuyekezo okanye isicombululo esithile.
  • IiNkundla zoNtlango: Iseti yenkundla yamakhaya, iinkundla zentsapho zithetha ngoqhawulo-mtshato, ukugcinwa kwabantwana, ukutyelelwa, inkxaso, ukugcinwa kwabantwana. La matyala asoloko ebandakanya imicimbi yeemvakalelo enzima kwaye asenokufuna ukuthethwa phambi kokuchotshelwa kwetyala.
  • IiNkundla eziNcinci: Inkundla yemiphakathi eyenziwe lula ukwenzela iimpikiswano ezibandakanya iimali ezithelekisayo (ngokuqhelekileyo ukuya kutsho kwi-$100,000-10-25 000). Imithetho ayisoloko ifunwa, kwaye iinkqubo ziyaqukunjelwa.

Iinkqubo ezininzi zikarhulumente norhulumente zikwanezikhongozeli zetyala, ezihlola izigqibo ezivela kwiinkundla ezincinci. Inkundla ephakamileyo (umz., iNkundla Ephakamileyo) inegunya lokugqibela. ISiko loLwazi [[FLT: 1] linikela ingqwalasela entle kwimimiselo yenkundla.

Abathathi-nxaxheba Abaphambili Enkundleni

Ukwazi ukuba ngoobani noko bakwenzayo kuyanceda ekupheliseni imekobume ize icacise indlela izinto eziqhubeka ngayo.

  • Ugwebi: Umgwebi ulawula inkundla, uqinisekisa ukuba iinkqubo zilandelwa, imithetho kwintshukumo, kwaye uyalela abachopheli-mthetho (ukuba bekho). Xa kuvavanywa isitulo, umgwebi ugqiba iziphumo. Abagwebi kufuneka bahlale bengakhethi tyala kwaye abakwazi ukubonisa ikhethe.
  • Abaxhasi: Ama-Attorney amela iqela ngalinye. Kwityala lolwaphulo-mthetho, ityala (igqwetha lephondo okanye igqwetha lorhulumente) limela urhulumente; ummangalelwa umele icebo lokuzikhusela. Kwimiba yasekuhlaleni, icala ngalinye liqesha igqwetha. Abalawuli banika ubungqina, amangqina okubuza, kwaye baphikisa iingongoma ezingokwasemthethweni.
  • I-Defentinti: Umntu otyholwe kwityala lolwaphulo-mthetho okanye iqela elimangalelwayo kwityala loluntu. Kwinkundla yolwaphulo-mthetho, ummangalelwa uthathwa engenatyala de agwetyelwe ngaphandle kokuthandabuza okusengqiqweni.
  • Umthetho oqhelekileyo: Umntu okanye iqumrhu eliqalisa ukumangalelwa. Kwimeko zolwaphulo-mthetho, i-partiff ngurhulumente; kwiimeko zasekuhlaleni, ngumntu okanye umbutho ofuna uncedo.
  • [[NTL:0] I-JURY: Kwizilingo ezininzi, iqela labemi (ngokomfuziselo 6-12 abantu) likhethwa ukuva ubungqina nokunika isigqibo. Ii Juils zisetyenziswa kwiimeko zolwaphulo-mthetho ezinzulu nakumatyala athile asekuhlaleni. Abagwebi kufuneka bangacaluli macala kwaye basekelwe ngabom koko kunikelwe enkundleni.
  • [[UMTHETHO: 0] Igosa lenkundla eligcina umyalelo, likhusela inkundla, liphatha ityala labamangalelwa abavalelweyo.
  • [[UMTL: 0] Ikharensi: Ityala lokwenza intetho eshukumayo yamagama athethwayo ngexesha lokuvavanya. Le ngxelo ibalulekile ekubheleni.
  • Ikhonkxwa yeNkundla: Ilawula iirekhodi zenkundla, amaxwebhu efayile, kwaye inika izifungo kumangqina nakumajukubhexe.

Ukuqonda ezi ndima kukuvumela ukuba ulandele imicimbi kwaye wazi ukuba ngubani oza kuthetha xa uthetha enkundleni. Ukuntywila nzulu, [[FLT: 0] iCalifornia Courts izibonelelo ichaza abathathi-nxaxheba ngolwimi olucacileyo.

Iinkqubo ezijoliswe phambili

Ngaphambi kokuba kuqalwe naluphina uvavanyo, uthotho lwamanyathelo angaphambi kovavanyo lumisela iqonga. Ezi nkqubo ziqinisekisa ukuba amacala omabini alungisiwe, ubungqina buye bahlulwa, kwaye imibandela inciphile.

Ukuphelisa Izikhalazo Okanye Ityala

Kumatyala asekuhlaleni, ummangalelwa ufaka isikhalazo nenkundla, echaza izibakala nesiseko esisemthethweni sokumangalelwa. Ummangalelwa uyaphendula, avume okanye aphikise izityholo. Kwimeko zolwaphulo-mthetho, iifayile zimangalelwa (igqwesa eligwebayo) okanye ulwazi (ityala lomtshutshisi). Ummangalelwa ngoko ubekwa ityala ngokusemthethweni — exelelwa izityholo aze acele ukungena kwityala (enzalisekileyo, engabekwanga lityala, okanye angakhuphiswanga).

Umbuzo

Ukufumanisa kukwenye yezona ziganeko zibalulekileyo. Zombini ezi zigaxelayo iinkcukacha nobungqina. Oku kuthintela “ukuvavanywa ngokulalela” kwaye kukhuthaza ukuhlaliswa. Iindlela zokufumana iziphumo ziquka:

  • Ukwakhiwa: Ubungqina obunikelwa ngamangqina, obubhalwe ngumcholacholi wenkundla.
  • Imibuzo ebhaliweyo emele iphendulwe phantsi kwesifungo.
  • [[UMTLL:0] Izicelo zemveliso: Iimfuno zamaxwebhu, ii-imeyili, iifoto, okanye obunye ubungqina obubonakalayo.
  • [[UMTL:0] Izicelo zemvume: Iingxelo omnye umntu amele azivume okanye akhanye.

Intshukumo Neendlebe

Abagwebi bangafaka ifayile yokuhamba ngesantya ukucela ijaji ukuba ilawule kwiimeko ezithile phambi kokuchotshelwa kwetyala. Intshukumo eqhelekileyo iquka ukususwa (ukulahla ityala ngenxa yokungabi naso isiseko esisemthethweni), ukushukuma ukwenzela umgwebo ofutshane (ukuchaza ityala ngaphandle kokuvavanywa ngenxa yokuba izibakala zichaziwe), okanye ukushukuma kokucinezela ubungqina (kwimicimbi yezaphuli-mthetho, ukungabufaki bungqina obufunyenwe ngokungekho mthethweni). Ijaji ibamba iindlebe ukuze igqibele ezi ntshukumo, ngokufuthi ngaphandle kwejaji.

IiNgqungquthela zangaphambili

Ngasekupheleni kwetyala langaphambi, ijaji namagqwetha bayadibana ukuze baxubushe ngetyala. Izihloko ziquka uluhlu lwamangqina, uluhlu lomboniso, izindululo (izibakala ezichaziweyo), kunye nobude bamatyala obuqikelelwayo. Iinkundla ezininzi zikhuthaza ukuhlawulwa okanye ukucelwa kwezicelo ngexesha lale ngqungquthela. Kwimicimbi yasekuhlaleni, kungayalelwa ukuba kwenziwe uludwe.

Ukuhamba jikelele ukudlula kwiinkqubo zangaphambi kovavanyo, iSikhokelo seMelika Bar Association nguvimba othembekileyo.

Inkqubo Yokuvavanywa

Ityala liyincopho yomsebenzi wangaphambi koshicilelo. Sisiganeko esicwangcisiweyo apho ityala libekwa phambi kwejaji okanye abachopheli-tyala. Ngelixesha ukuvavanywa kusenokuhluka ngobude, amacandelo ayimfuneko ahlala efana.

Ukhetho

Kwityala labachopheli-tyala, inyathelo lokuqala kukukhetha abachopheli bejaji. Ijaji namagqwetha babuza abagwebi abanokuba ngabagwebi ukuba batyhile iimbono ezigqwethayo. Icala ngalinye lingavavanya inani elisikelwe umda leejaji (ngaphandle kokunikela isizathu) okanye ngenxa yoko (umz., ikhethe, ukungquzulwano, ukungquzulana kwezilangazelelo). Ijaji yokugqibela ifungelwe.

Ukuvula iNgxelo

Omabini amacala anikela ingxelo yokuvula, echaza izibakala alindele ukuzingqina. Ingcaciso ye-atlantiff (okanye ingtshutshiso) ihamba kuqala. Iingxelo zokuvula asiyompikiswano — zizinto ezicatshuliweyo zobungqina. “Ubungqina buzakubonisa ukuba umqhubi ukhanya ngokubomvu,” umzekelo. I-Attorney ayinakwenza gqabaza elishwangushayo okanye elishwankathelayo.

Ukunikelwa Kobungqina

Ityala elikhulu libandakanya ukunikela ubungqina. Ityala elicacileyo libonisa kuqala, ukubiza amangqina nokuzisa imiboniso. Ingxelo yokuzikhusela inganqamlela i-examine ingqina ngalinye. Emva kokuba i-plantiff ihleli, ingqwalaselo ichaza imeko yayo, ibiza amangqina ayo nobungqina. Icala ngalinye lingabiza amangqina athe ngqo ukuphikisa elinye icala.

Ubungqina buxhomekeke kwimithetho — ulundi aluvunyelwanga ngokuqhelekileyo ngaphandle kokuba kusebenza into engaqhelekanga. Ukuthembeka, ukusetyenziswa, kunye nomxokelelwano wokugcina umntwana kusoloko kucelw ’ umngeni. Umgwebi umisela imithetho kwiimpikiswano, ezifana “ukukhokela,”“ ukuphembelela,” okanye “ukungabi nasiseko.”

Ungcoliseko

Ukuxilonga komnqamlezo bubuchule obubalulekileyo. Abalawuli bathandabuza amangqina achaseneyo ukuvavanya ukuthembeka, ukubhenca ucalucalulo, okanye ukucacisa izibakala. Imibuzo ekhokelayo (abo bacebisa impendulo) ivumelekile ngexesha lomnqamlezo kodwa hayi ngexesha lovavanyo oluthe ngqo. Ukuhlola okusebenzayo kungenza inkundla egwebayo ingabi nagunyazi.

Impikiswano Zokuvala

Emva kokuba bonke ubungqina bunikelwe, icala ngalinye lenza impikiswano yokuqukumbela. Eli lixesha lokushwankathela ubungqina obungundoqo, zoba iinkcazelo ezisengqiqweni, kwaye uphikise ngesizathu sokuba abachopheli-tyala bafumane uncedo lwabo. Ummangalelwa ocacileyo/ukutshutshiswa uhamba kuqala, emva koko ukhuseleko, kwaye umgwebi ufumana imvume yokugqibela. Ijaji ifundisa abachopheli-mthetho ngemigangatho esemthethweni abamele bayisebenzise (umz., umthwalo wokungqina).

Isigqibo soMququzelelo kunye neSigwebo

Kwityala labachopheli-tyala, abachopheli-tyala bathatha umhlala-phantsi kwigumbi elizimeleyo. Baxubusha ubungqina, basebenzisa umthetho owanikwa yijaji, baze bavote. Isigqibo kufuneka singqineke ngokwamatyala olwaphulo-mthetho (kwimimandla emininzi) kwaye ngokufuthi kwiimeko zasekuhlaleni, nangona abanye bevumela iimbono eziphezulu. Ukuba abachopheli-mthetho abavumi, banokuyivuma loo nto, kwaye ityala lisenokuvakaliswa — ityala lisenokuphinda liqululwe.

Kwizigwebo ezihlalwe ezihlalweni, ijaji ibhala isigqibo (efumana inyaniso nezigqibo zomthetho).

Iinkqubo zePost-Terminal

Xa esiphela, amanyathelo amaninzi anokulandela kuxhomekeka kwimiphumo.

Isigwebo noMgwebo

Ukuba abachopheli-tyala okanye abagwebi bafumana imvume yokutshutshiswa, kungenelwa isigwebo. Kwityala lolwaphulo-mthetho, ityala likhokelela ekuchotshelweni (ngokufuthi kubanjelwe ngokwahlukeneyo). Kwimeko zasekuhlaleni, umgwebo ungaquka ukonakaliswa kwemali, imiqathango, okanye ezinye iingcaciso.

Ukugwetywa (Ityala Lolwaphulo-mthetho)

Ukugwetywa akuzenzekeli — kukuthethwa komnye umntu apho ijaji iqwalasela oothunywashe abafana nobunzulu bolwaphulo-mthetho, imbali yolwaphulo-mthetho lommangalelwa, iingxelo zexhoba, kunye nokunconywa kwamagosa avavanyayo. Ityala lingaquka ixesha lasentolongweni, intengo, iinkonzo zoluntu, okanye iinkqubo zokubuyisela umva. Ijaji kufuneka ibeke isigwebo kwimida yemithetho.

Intshukumo yeposi

Emva kwesigqibo, iqela eliphulukana nento lisenokuyifakela intshukumo yasemva kwetyala. Ezi ziquka intshukumo yokugweba ngaphandle kwesigqibo (ukucela ijaji ukuba igqithe isigqibo sabachopheli-tyala), intshukumo yokuvavanya okutsha (iimpazamo okanye ukuziphatha okubi), okanye intshukumo yokunciphisa umgwebo.

Izibheno

Ukuba iqela eliphulukana nento likholelwa ukuba imposiso engokwasemthethweni yenzekile eyachaphazela isiphumo, isenokubhenela kwinkundla ephakamileyo. Izibheno aziyozingxubusho eziphinda zibekwe kwakhona — inkundla enika imvume ihlola ingxelo yetyala yeempazamo ekusebenziseni umthetho, hayi iimpikiswano eziyinyaniso. I-ampellant (onomtsalane) ifakela iimpazamo ezifutshane; impikiswano ye-ampellene. Inkundla ye-appellete ingaqulwa, ibuye iphise, okanye iphinde iphinde iphinde ibekwe ityala ukuze ifumane iingxelo ezibheke phambili. Izibheno ezivela kwinkundla ephakamileyo yeli lizwe zinokuya kwinkundla ephakamileyo yetyala ekwimeko ezilinganiselweyo.

Kwezininzi kwizibheno, jonga i yeSiko lezeMigaqo-mthetho.

Amacebiso Asebenzisekayo Okuvela Enkundleni

Enoba ulingqina, iqela, okanye ugcina nje imbeko efanelekileyo, imilinganiselo efanelekileyo yasenkundleni ibalulekile.

  • Nxiba ngokufanelekileyo: Impahla esetyenziswayo — iisuti, iihempe, izikeyi, okanye iibhulukhwe. Kuphephe ukunxiba iflugi, ii-tuns, okanye izinxibo zomnqwazi.
  • [[UMTL: 0] Ukukhawuleza: Cwangcisa ukufika ubuncinane imizuzu engama-30 phambi kwexesha lakho elicwangcisiweyo. Vumela ukupaka nokukhusela.
  • Cima ii-electronics:[ Iifowuni zokuthula, amacwecwe, kunye nazo naziphi na izixhobo. Akukho rekhodi okanye ukufota kuvumelekile kwiinkundla zenkundla ngaphandle kwemvume.
  • [[UMTL:0] Yiba nentlonelo:[ thetha nejaji njenge "Imbeko yakho.” Yima xa ijaji ingena okanye ishiya inkundla yenkundla. Musa ukuphazamisa abanye uthetha.
  • Uzisa Amaxwebhu Afunekayo: Inekopi zayo nayiphi na inkcazelo enxulumene namaphepha, ukuchaza, kunye nedilesi yegqwetha lakho.
  • [[UMTL:0] Yazi Indima Yakho:[ Ukuba ulingqina, phulaphula ngenyameko kwimibuzo uze uphendule kuphela oko kubuzwayo. Musa ukuvota ngenkcazelo eyongezelelweyo. Ukuba ungumbutho, thetha negqwetha lakho ngaphambi kokuba uthethe.

Kwakhona, inkundla ethile inemithetho engqongqo ngokuphathelele iicell phone, ukutya okanye iibhotile zamanzi.

Inkundla Yenyani Ityala: INorm Entsha

Isifo se-COVOID-19 sakhawulezisa ukuthathwa kwetyala lenkundla ekude. Iinkundla ezininzi ngoku ziqhuba amatyala ngevidiyo edibanisiweyo kumaqonga afana noKwandisa okanye amaqela eMicrosoft. Ukubonakala okuyinyani kuxhaphakile kwiingqungquthela zangaphambi kovavanyo, ukuchotshelwa kwetyala, kwanezilingo. Abathathi-nxaxheba kufuneka:

  • Vavanya isandi nevidiyo yabo phambi kokuva.
  • Sebenzisa imvelaphi engoondilele nokukhanya okufanelekileyo.
  • Nxiba ngokungathi uyabonana (ikhamera ibonisa umzimba wakho ophezulu).
  • Yibeke phantsi imbhobho wakho xa ungathethi unciphisa ingxolo engasemva.
  • Landela imbeko efanayo enkundleni — biza ijaji ngokuthi “Imbeko Yakho” yaye musa ukuphazamisana nayo.

Iinkundla ziye zapapasha imigaqo echaza indlela ebonakala ngayo; jonga iwebhsayithi yenkundla yasekuhlaleni ukuze ufumane iinkcukacha ezithile.
