If a court case is discharged, before you attend is that the end of it? Or can they bring you to court again?

Question

If a court case is discharged, before you attend is that the end of it? Or can they bring you to court again?

Answer 1

You probably mean "dismissed."  There are two types of dismissal.  A dismissal "with prejudice" means it cannot be revived.  A dismissal "without prejudice" means it can be revived.  The propriety of that decision turns on the reasons for the dismissal.

Answer 2

For your peace of mind, you'll need to obtain a copy of the court document, submitted by the Prosecuting or District Attorney & signed by the judge.

This is a "motion for nolle prosequi."

This will specify whether the matter has been dismissed with or without prejudice.

"With prejudice" means that it can again be re-visited for the purpose of prosecution; without prejudice means just the opposite.

The Clerk of the Court where this matter was once pending would be able to assist you in getting the copy, for which is there is usually a minimal or no charge.

Also, in most states there is a provision that the state police and other law enforcement agencies are directed by the judge to destroy fingerprints and booking photos if so requested by the Prosecutor in the "Motion for Nolle Prosequi."

Best of luck to you.  Congratulations!
