Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a civil case, the plaintiff is listed first in the caption. Therefore, Webster would be listed first, followed by the defendant Olson. Choice A is incorrect because it lists the parties in reverse order. Choice B is incorrect because it suggests that the State of Hawaii is a party to the case, which is not the case in a civil lawsuit between two individuals. Choice D is incorrect because it lists the State of Hawaii as a party, which is again not the case in a civil lawsuit.
