    Description
    An in-depth examination of all phases of civil procedure, from the initial stages of planning and preparing the civil lawsuit to the trial, is presented in this course. Students draft typical pleadings, including complaints, motions, demurrers, answers and cross-complaints from factual situations presented in class. Common means of terminating a suit without trial, such as summary judgments, defaults, dismissals and settlement are also discussed.
