Trial


 * This article is part of a series on Litigation

Introduction
It is extremely unusual for a FOIA case to go to trial. FOIA matters in which the parties are unable to reach a settlement are largely resolved by way of summary judgment. See [|Motions for Summary Judgment]

If pursued, a trial will follow the process of other civil proceedings. Note that litigants in FOIA cases have no right to a jury trial.
