Legal support staff play a critical role in the civil litigation process. Examine civil procedure issues through the lifecycle of typical civil litigation matters and identify practical strategies and solutions to address these issues. Discuss the interplay between the technical requirements of the law of civil procedure and your day-to-day supporting role.

Presentations focus on each phase of the litigation lifecycle:

• Getting the File Going
• Getting the Claim Out the Door
• Chambers Readiness
• Discovery and Document Production
• Preparing for Trial
• Litigation Practice Management for Legal Assistants

This on-demand program was originally presented as an in-person and livestream program in December, 2021. Total running time for each presentation is approximately 1 hour.

Please note that these videos are a recording a live in-person program. We make best efforts to ensure that audience questions are either spoken into a microphone or repeated by one of the presenters. However, this does not always occur. We apologize if you are unable to hear some of the audience questions in these recordings.
