Legal capacity is defined by each state. Generally, in order to file a lawsuit, a person must be over 18 years of age and in good mental health.  If you are under 18, you will need a guardian to participate in the lawsuit. If you are judged to be mentally incompetent because of age, disability or illness, you will need a guardian, trustee or executor to participate in a lawsuit. The requirements for standing are established by each state. Generally, to sue in state court a person must have been injured, or will be directly injured or harmed. There must also be a way to redress or compensate for the injury. For example, if a person or entity caused you physical harm, didn't hold up their end of a contract, or didn't pay you what you were owed then you may have legal standing to sue. The court in which you file must have subject matter jurisdiction, or the legal jurisdiction to hear the type of case you are filing. Most cases will be filed in the state where you live. Federal courts hear specific types of cases, including the following:  Cases that arise under federal law, such as those concerning federal civil rights statutes, patent laws, antitrust laws, federal tax claims, or constitutional issues.  Cases in which the plaintiff is suing a defendant who is a citizen of a different state or country for an amount over $75,000.  If you are unsure whether to file in state or federal court, or which state to file the suit in, talk to an attorney. Venue refers to the county or judicial district within a state where the lawsuit must be filed. Sometimes, multiple courts meet the venue requirements for a case. These requirements are:  The court is located in the county in which the defendant resides or does business. The court is located in the county in which the harmful actions occurred. The court is located in the county in which a violated contract was signed or was to be carried out. In cases in which multiple venues are appropriate, choose the one that is most convenient to both you and the defendant, or talk with your attorney about which one they think would be best. Every state has a time period by which a person must file a lawsuit. This is referred to as the statute of limitations. Different types of case have different statute of limitations. For example, in Alabama you have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit for personal injury but six years to file a case regarding property damage.

Mint is difficult to grow from seed, and it is virtually impossible for some varieties, like peppermint. Cut a 4 inch (10 cm) sprig about ½ inch (1 cm) above a junction to allow new branches to grow in its place. The sprig does not need to have many leaves, and almost any sprig will do. Place the sprig in a glass of water, and remove any leaves that fall below the water line. Within a week, small white roots should appear under water. Wait a few more days to another week to allow the roots to develop into a decent length.  Add water to the glass as necessary. Make sure that you change the water every four to five days to prevent rot. You can find mint seedlings at most nurseries and garden stores. There are many varieties of mint, such as sweet mint, chocolate mint, spearmint, lemon mint, apple mint, and peppermint. Spearmint is most commonly used for cooking. Mint is a fast-growing, fast-spreading plant and is perfect for one of your first attempts at growing plants. Runners are long stems that grow away from the current plant and set their own roots in the ground. These can be carefully dug up and transplanted. If you have a friend growing mint, the plants will have runners that could be transplanted.
summary: Take a cutting from a pre-existing mint plant. Purchase a mint seedling or small mint plant. Find a runner from a current plant.
