The litigation process, from the beginning of a dispute, through pleading and discovery, to the culmination of a final judgment, is a long and complex process. The most seasoned paralegals and attorneys must juggle deadlines, control the pace of their case, meet the expectations of clients and anticipate their opponents' next move. In this high-stakes chess game, paralegals and attorneys must make daily decisions with an eye toward the litigation process as a whole, keeping in mind that the ultimate goal is a final judgment in their client's favor.

This live audio conference will give paralegals, both new and experienced, a detailed overview of the litigation process from start to final judgment. Understanding how a trial is successfully conducted allows you to make valuable contributions to the trial team right from the start of a case: Finding key facts to plead, key defenses to make, handling and acquiring admissible evidence, and substantively assisting throughout the pretrial and trial phases of litigation. Failure to understand how the litigation process works as a whole can lead to waste of both the client's and trial team's time and resources, possibly hampering a successful outcome. This audio conference will arm you with a knowledge of the issues needed to effectively assist as a key member of the litigation team.
