In recent years, there has been an increasing awareness of the inadequacies of the judicial system in the United States. Costs are staggering both for the taxpayers and the litigants--and the litigants, or parties, have to wait sometimes many years before having their day in court. Many suggestions have been made concerning methods of improving the situation, but as in most branches of government, changes come slowly.
One suggestion that has been made in order to maximize the efficiency of the system is to allow districts that have an overabundance of pending cases to borrow judges from other districts that do not have such a workload. Another suggestion is to use pretrial conferences, in which the judge meets in his chambers with the litigants and their lawyers in order to narrow the issues, limit the witnesses, and provide for a more orderly trial. The theory behind pretrial conferences is that judges will spend less time on each case and parties will more readily settle before trial when they realize the adequacy of their claims and their opponents’ evidence. Unfortunately, at least one study has shown that pretrial conferences actually use more judicial time than they save, rarely result in pretrial settlements, and actually result in higher damage settlements.
Many states have now established another method, small-claims courts, in which cases over small sums of money can be disposed of with considerable dispatch. Such proceedings cost the litigants almost nothing. In California, for example, the parties must appear before the judge without the assistance of counsel. The proceedings are quite informal and there is no pleading--the litigants need to make only a one-sentence statement of their claim. By going to this type of court, the plaintiff(原告) gives up any right to a jury trial and the right to appeal the decision.
In coming years, we can expect to see more and more innovations in the continuing effort to correct a situation which must be corrected if the citizens who have valid claims are going to be able to have their day in court.
Which of the following is true about small-claims courts?
选项
A、It is possible to have one’s case heard by a jury if he or she is dissatisfied with the court’s decision.
B、The decision may not be appealed to a higher court.
C、The litigants must plead accurately and according to a strict form.
D、The parties may not present their cases without a lawyer’s help.
答案
B
解析
细节理解题。题目考查的是小额索赔案件法庭中出现的细节。根据题干中的关键词“小额索赔案件法庭”可以确定在第三段中寻找答案,根据该段第三至六行我们可以得出答案为B。选项A和文中正好相反,应该是“放弃了陪审团的裁决”。选项C也是和文中相反,应该是做出“一句话的索赔陈述”。选项D具有一定的干扰,但是该句的语气太不肯定,不是“may Hot”而是“must…without…”,所以为错误答案。
