Civil Litigation is a comprehensive text designed to familiarize the paralegal student with all aspects of the civil litigation process and the role of the paralegal in that process. It provides substantive legal principles and their practical applications in a realistic litigation practice. The book presents a chronological approach to litigation, starting with the opening stages of a lawsuit, progressing to the preparing of pleadings and motions, followed by discovery and concluding with pre-trial, trial and appellate proceedings. Litigation technology and relevant Internet sources are incorporated into each chapter. Projects and exercises at the end of each chapter also give the student opportunities to prepare litigation documents such as letter, pleadings, motion and discovery. Students not only read about the litigation process, but benefit from the practical experiential assignments.
