Who is named first, defendant, or plaintiff?

In the trial court, the first name listed is the plaintiff, the party bringing the suit. The name following the v is the defendant.

What is the opposite of a plaintiff?

In a civil case, the defendant is the person or entity being sued. They are responsible for defending themselves against the plaintiffs claims. For example, in a car accident case, the defendant is the person who caused the accident (and/or their insurance company).

Which party is the plaintiff?

In a civil case, the plaintiff is the party who initiates a lawsuit by filing a complaint against the defendant or respondent (depending on the type of civil case). The plaintiff seeks a legal remedy, such as damages or injunctive relief, and bears the burden of proof to establish the claims made in the action.

Who goes first in a case?

The side bringing the case is the side that bears the burden of proof, and thus always goes first. This is the prosecuting attorney in a criminal case, or the plaintiff in a civil case. The defense then follows with their opening statement.

How to determine who is the plaintiff and who is the defendant?

The Plaintiff is the person who files the case with the court. The Defendant is the person who the Plaintiff is filing a complaint against. Once a case is opened, this never changes. Any future filings by either party should always list the Plaintiff and Defendant just as the case was originally filed.
