Litigation: Law Clerks

This course introduces you to the civil court system and to common law and statute law. The course includes elements of contract law and to various types of tort (negligence; trespass; assault and battery). The focus is on the law clerk role in the three stages of action: pleading (which students learn to draft), discovery (including E-Discovery), preparation for trial, and the conduct of a trial. The course concludes with the appeal process and enforcement of judgments. You will gain a strong understanding of the litigation process from the commencement of an action to judgment.
