Disposition

Disposition

Disposition is the act of getting a resolution on a court case.  Many court cases are "disposed" of by a trial with a judgment.  Other times, parties enter into "stipulations" to conclude a matter.  In some types of court systems, the judge and parties might decide together what the "disposition plan," will be.  For example, a person in juvenile court might get a "disposition" plan that helps address the issues that generated a court case.  When a person completes that plan, the Court will dispose of the case and conclude the matter.
