Product Description
Product Description
Most civil litigators—even those who spend the bulk of their time practicing in state court—eventually find themselves in federal court. This may be by choice, or as the result of removal of a case from state court by a defendant in a diversity action. Attorneys swiftly grasp the significant differences in style and substance between federal and state court practice once they get to the federal court. These differences pervade the litigation process and significantly affect motion practice, discovery, trial preparation, and trial.
This course provides fundamental practice information for lawyers with little or no experience in federal court, as well as for those who may have had experience in the past but want to become familiar again with federal court practice. The expert faculty, featuring experienced litigators and members of the federal bench, provides valuable insight and practical tips to help you become an effective, confident, and knowledgeable federal court litigator.
