2. Service of Process: After filing the complaint, the plaintiff must serve the defendant with a copy of the complaint and a summons, notifying them of the lawsuit and the time frame in which they must respond.
3. Answer and Counterclaims: The defendant must respond to the complaint within a specified time frame, typically by filing an answer. They may also assert counterclaims against the plaintiff.
4. Pre-Trial Stage: During the pre-trial stage, the parties exchange information about the case through a process called discovery. This may include written interrogatories, requests for documents, and depositions.
5. Motions: Either party may file motions with the court, requesting rulings on legal issues or procedural matters.
6. Settlement: Before the trial, the parties may attempt to settle the case through negotiation or alternative dispute resolution.
7. Trial: If the case goes to trial, both parties present their arguments and evidence to a judge or jury.
8. Order, Judgment & Decree: The judge or jury delivers a verdict, and if the plaintiff prevails, the court enters a judgment against the defendant.
9. Appeals: Either party may appeal the judgment, seeking a review by a higher court.

It’s important to note that the specific stages of a civil court case can vary depending on the jurisdiction and type of case involved.
