Iowa Alternative Expedited Civil Action Certification For Plaintiffs Not Natural Persons is a process where a non-natural person, such as a corporation, can request expedited certification in order to file a civil action in the state of Iowa. This process allows for the plaintiff to avoid the traditional court process and receive a judgment from the court in a much shorter time frame. There are two types of expedited certification available: pre-trial certification and post-trial certification. Pre-trial certification allows for the court to certify the case without the need for a trial. Post-trial certification, on the other hand, allows the court to certify a case after a trial is held. Both processes allow for the plaintiff not to have to wait for the traditional court process and receive a judgment from the court in a shorter time frame.
