LAW-2304 Pre-Trial Civil Litigation
This course provides an opportunity to plan and conduct the pretrial phase of a civil lawsuit. The class is divided into small "law firms" of approximately three to four students, each performing the tasks necessary to represent their client. Students will plan the strategy of their case, research relevant law to determine the causes of action, draft pleadings, conduct the necessary formal (including drafting written discovery and conducting depositions) and informal fact investigation, prepare a final pretrial memorandum and participate in a final pretrial conference.
