Synopsis

For courses in Civil Litigation.

This text offers students an ideal opportunity to develop and analyze a trip-and-fall case. The book's premise involves two novice paralegals who have just completed a legal studies program and who are beginning to work on their first case in a law office. One works for a firm that only handles plaintiff cases; the other for a defense law firm. The text is presented from the perspective of each paralegal. As the text unfolds, students follow the case from development and analysis, to pretrial activity, trial proceedings, testimony, and dialogue. The text is packed with sample documents prepared at each stage of the case, from both sides.
