Pretrial
Description
This clear and concise book organizes pretrial planning into a series of steps students can easily master. Ordinary law school classes give students very few opportunities to learn about how lawyers prepare and manage cases. Pretrial introduces students to all aspects of case development, litigation, and settlement, ranging from the initial client interview to the analysis of settlement strategy and terms. It provides sample documentation for each stage of the civil case. An invaluable text for law students, Pretrial also gives new lawyers straightforward instruction as they immerse themselves in the real world of litigation practice. New to the Tenth Edition: Extensive updates to the chapter on Discovery to account for extensive and important changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in 2015 Cutting-edge advice on the management of e-discovery Revisions to the law of personal jurisdiction and class actions Updates throughout the text to address innumerable issues that affect litigation, ranging from the taxation of settlements to the doctrine regulating pleading Professors and students will benefit from: The only single-volume text to combine no-nonsense instruction in civil procedure with detailed but straightforward how-to lessons for civil litigation Authorship by the founder of the trial practice curriculum in American law schools, and revision by a nationally recognized expert in civil procedure No jargon, with an eye toward what litigators need to know on a day-to-day basis for their practices
