Civil Litigation

Civil Litigation, Fourth Edition is a practical and thorough textbook written specifically for paralegal students. It combines legal principles and the application of those principles in litigation practice, teaching students the information and skills they need to succeed in all areas of law. The litigation process is expertly detailed in a variety of contexts so that students can understand the relevance of litigation to other legal specialities such as personal injury, real estate, employment, and intellectual property law. Sample legal documents such as complaints, answers, interrogatories, and deposition summaries are presented and thoroughly explained in relevant chapters. The authors emphasize the use of technology in specific areas of litigation, as well as important Web sites and assignments requiring use of the Internet. Finally, this edition features an exercise in each chapter that relates to a single case, giving students the chance to work a case from beginning to end, much like they would in a law office.
