    A plaintiff sues a defendant by filing a complaint alleging facts and law supporting their rights. The defendant then files motions to avoid answering the complaint and replies to each allegation while also asserting defenses supported by facts and law. If the case is not settled or won through pre-trial motions, the parties argue in court. Prior to trial, both sides use discovery tools to obtain evidence helping their case and weakening their opponent's allegations.
